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).
The non-Imperials were actually the local branch of the Rebel Legion, the “good guys” sister group to the 501st. Also included in the parade group were members of both groups down from Seattle.
