Rebel Legion

Rebel Legion

The Rebel Legion is a worldwide fan-created organization dedicated to the creation and wearing of screen-accurate replicas of Star Wars fans in Rebel Alliance costume. Formed by Tony Troxell in 2001 as a sister organization to the 501st Stormtrooper Legion, the group now boasts over 1,600 members in 19 countries (as of 2007). Members of the Rebel Legion often put their "fame" to use at numerous charity and community events in full costume and character. Rebel Legion has 20 'bases' of members in the USA, a further 8 established bases in Europe, with three bases in Asia Pacific and South America.

Some of the fundamental conditions of being part of the Rebel Legion are that members must be 18 years of age or older and their costumes are of professional quality. Members should appear to have 'walked off the screen' when portraying characters and are 'enlisted' to the group by meeting key costume standards set by the group. Members are actively encouraged to improve or expand their costumes within the community, but the club requirement is that they own at least one 'good guy' costume to remain a member.

Rebel Legion Events Worldwide

Members of the Rebel Legion and the 501st Legion marched in the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade, where George Lucas was the Grand Marshal.

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars, members from the European Bases took part in Star Wars Celebration Europe in London (UK) in 2007 and members from the USA took part in 'Star Wars Celebration IV' in Los Angeles (USA) to reflect the truly international nature of the group and its relation to Lucasfilm .

In February 2007, George Lucas accepted an honorary membership from the organization.

In October 2007, Rebel Legion took part in 'Star Wars - Reunion II' in Paris, organised by Lucasfilm and Starwars.com. [http://www.starwars.com/community/event/con/news20070629.html]
