501st Cloud City Garrison at the Starlight Parade

I got to see the 501st Cloud City Garrison marching at the Starlight Parade here in Portland the other week, which was really cool! They were definitely a crowd favorite. I spotted a couple of Darth Vaders, a regular Leia, a slave Leia, a Luke Skywalker in flight suit, light sabers galore, and many, many stormtroopers. One of many Cloud City Starlight videos is right here (filmed by GERUNDITE).

Using a pattern from Geek Central Station, Craftster user mutepenguin crocheted this super awesome detailed amigurumi Darth Vader for her boyfriend for Christmas. Even better, you can remove the mask and sleeve to see Anakin Skywalker’s scarred head and robotic arm! Star Wars amigurumi WIN!
