2007 Rose Bowl Parade

7:55 PM

Two of our local members, Alex Smith and Jimmy Burns, were part of a group of 200 501st Legion Stormtroopers asked to take part in the 2007 Rose Bowl Parade.  The 501st participated at the official invitation of Lucas Film as a part of LFL’s Star Wars Spectacular!  This was an amazing experience for all involved and the 501st as well as the Ga501st is extremely honored to have taken part in this epic event.  Visit the Gallery for pictures.
