Target Audience: The target audience for this panel is anyone 18+ in Virginia who loves Star Wars and has ever dreamed of owning or building a screen-accurate costume. Whether you're already tinkering with armor, just starting your research, or simply curious about joining the galaxy’s most iconic fan organizations, you’re welcome. If you're looking for a friendly place to start your costuming journey — we want you.
Who We Are, What We Do, and How to Join: ◼️◼️◼️
Join members of the 501st Legion, the Rebel Legion, and the Mando Mercs Costume Clubs for a lively and informative look behind the scenes of Star Wars costuming. We’ll break down how characters like Stormtroopers, Jedi, Boba Fett, and Darth Vader leap from the silver screen into real-world armor, robes, props, and gear.
◼️◼️◼️ RSVP @ --> https://forms.gle/mKvtebrEbwsw6AwLA
Learn about the creative process behind hard armor builds, soft costume construction, small props, and even 3D modeling and printing. We’ll share how our clubs bring movie magic to life through volunteer work, charity partnerships, and official collaborations with Lucasfilm.
Most importantly, we’ll walk you through how to join, from your first spark of interest all the way to full membership approval. If you’re ready to start your adventure — this panel is your launchpad.
