• What is the Rebel Legion?
We’re an international Star Wars costuming organization that promotes Star Wars fandom while helping others through charity work and community service. Formed in 2000, the Legion now boasts over 1,700 members serving in more than 28 countries.
|
• What is it you do?
We actually hear this question a lot! We’re about fun, spreading the joy and magic of the Star Wars Universe, and supporting charities. We can usually be found posing for pictures and providing “meet-and-greets” for event guests, escorting VIPs, and especially interacting with kids by bringing their action figures to life.
|
• What sort of events do you do?
Rebel Legion members march in parades, raise funds for charity, appear at conventions, visit children’s hospitals, support educational and science centers, as well as a wide variety of other events.
|
• How much do you charge for appearances?
NOTHING! The Rebel Legion is a volunteer organization and does not accept payment for appearances. However, we support a great many charitable organizations (especially those dealing with kids) and a donation made in our name is always greatly appreciated. For a partial list of charities we associate with, please see the Charity Work page.
|
• How can I get you to attend my event?
It’s easy – click the Request Appearance link on this site. Or you may visit our website, www.rebellegion.com, and click on the “Request an Appearance” link on the homepage. Once you’ve submitted the required information you’ll be contacted by a local Legion representative shortly.
|
• Are you part of Lucasfilm Ltd.?
No. We’re a volunteer fan-run organization. However, Lucasfilm Ltd. recognizes the Rebel Legion as the premier Rebel costuming group, and regularly engages our assistance with media and charity events
|
• Are you part of the 501st Legion?
Again no – although the Rebel Legion is known as the “good guy” counterpart to our Imperial brethren. While we are separate groups, we regularly work together with many members belonging to both clubs. We also work with other Star Wars fan groups such as the R2 Builders Club, FanForce and many more.
|
• Does the Legion work with Star Wars Celebrities?
Frequently. We often find ourselves working with and escorting the various celebrities that help make the Star Wars saga great. Including: actors and actresses, authors, artists, production staff and Lucasfilm representatives.
|
• Is it hot in those costumes?
Yes, like vacationing on Mustafar.
