@@npc6817 I didn't build the parts my self. I just did the painting. So the hardest part is gathering the information which vendor offers which parts. And the vader-parts-waiting-game .. usually you dont click and buy the items. Its more like entering a queue of people and wait for your spot and then you wait longer for the item bein produced und send to you. It took me about 1.5 years to get everything together + about 1y of research

If I were to join the 501st id really like to be a 21st Nova Corps Galactic Marine. Love that center point between imperial and republican snowtrooper. Also they killed one of my favorite jedi during order 66 (Ki Adi Mundi) which makes me respect their capability in a way. Seems like an awesome community but the process comes off as somewhat intimidating to someone like me who has no experience what so ever in cosplay. But these gatherings and meetings seem to help people get a bit more into their costumes. The more experienced members helping and guiding. Even if i never make it into the 501st you guys have definatly kept my Star Wars spirit going and my connection with the force has never been stronger. Thank you.

Help me understand something. Each local legion has people who play characters. If I get approved as Kylo Ren and there's already someone who is Kylo in the group how does that work with events?
@theenthuslife4 жыл бұрын
The Dude Events are posted and open to all members to attend but are generally treated on a first come basis. It’s rare that we get two Vader’s or Kylo’s wanting to attend the same event and when we do it’s either whoever responded first or they figure it out amongst themselves. For the larger/longer events (4+ hours, multiple days) we’ll often have both attend so they can relieve each other throughout the event. Also, a lot of the people who are the major names characters have other approvals like TK’s so they can always do something else.
