The 501st Central Garrison at ICON 35

Star Wars fans come from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, but no matter how diverse they may seem, common bonds become evident when people come together to celebrate their passion for George Lucas's modern mythology. Some fans are content to collect action figures...other fans want to be action figures. Nothing professes your fandom quite like building your own detailed costume replica of a classic Star Wars villain, and there's nothing quite like the feeling that comes from bringing the characters of Star Wars into the real world and sharing the magic with others.

Members of the 501st Central Garrison will be around the con on Saturday, November 6th in the morning. Learn more about the 501st Central Garrison at http://www.centralgarrison.com/
