The iconic voice of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader - the figurehead of the 501st Legion has passed on. His legacy and unmistakeable, resonant tones will forever echo through the hallways of the Imperial fleet. Buckets off for the James Earl Jones. 1932 - 2024.

The #ukgarrison continues to honour the voice of #DarthVader, James Earl Jones. We hope that we and the larger #501stlegion can do his legacy proud as we continue to costume for charity and community service. #starwars #badguysdoinggood

We'd like to see the Rebels try to get away this time. Cr. E White #ukgarrison #501stlegion #badguysdoinggood #badgirlsdoinggreat #starwars #cosplay #disney #lucasfilm

And uncommon but novel sight, the concept Boba Fett (based on Ralph McQuarrie's original artwork) always turns heads. Fancy building your costume with us? ukgarrison.co.uk/join-us #ukgarrison #501stlegion #badguysdoinggood #badgirlsdoinggreat #starwars #cosplay #disney

Did you know...? One of the many fun quirks of the #ukgarrison and the #501stlegion is the communities-within-the-community of each group of costume types. Each 'detachment' may have their own in-jokes or or even traditions! Cr. G Illidge #starwars #cosplay

The Rebels can't repel firepower of this magnitude. The #ukgarrison are deployed year-round to a vast selection of events across the nation (sometimes beyond with other Garrisons of the #501stlegion!) ukgarrison.co.uk/join-us Cr. K Rankin #starwars #cosplay #disney
