Graham, I agree with you but Australia actually has enough supporters of the Force for it to merit a religious designation. Please don't ask to search for the story to support this. I recall that the list of "other" on the Stat survey now includes the Force.

Our comments would probably agree, I'm just not going to say them out loud.

The other thing is that the 501st, cool as it is, is not on the side of Obi Wan. In fact, they're the enemy, so I have trouble reconciling that. After that, it's supposed to be fun.

Speaking of kilted stormtroopers, it seems that the Empire has infiltrated Alabama:

And I guess that Hellboy finally saved up enough to order his UK:

Last but not least, it looks like the kilted trooper got to meet up with Mel 1 & 2 at the ComiCon:

Thank goodness for google!

I'm not 501st, but I was invited to their party at C3 since I was one of the guys selling UKs there. Alot of 501st guys also post on the Utiliklt yahoo group.

I'm not 501st but I have a complete Stormtooper outfit. Paid $600 plus another $125 for the white boots.

See if you can determine your garrison from the 501st website, www.501st.com, and contact your GML (Garrison Member Liaison) about joining. All that's required to join is a good, screen quality costume.

We'd love to keep increasing our numbers.

Actually, there is a sub-group in the 501st. The Kilted Trooper Brigade.

The only requirements are that you are currently an active 501st member and you have or plan on getting a kilt.

Here's a few pics from Star Wars Celebration III and this past Dragon*Con.

Oh, and while I'm at it, what do you think of my new sporran?

:-D

This thread had gotten me thinking about doing a Bounty Hunter outfit around my postal blue utilikilt. It should allow me with more creative freedom than Storm/clone Trooper costumes.

Hey, I'm in the Florida Garrison, and just ordered a Black Watch Kilt as my Christmas gift to myself. Been wanting one for awhile. I see my Garrison CO, Scott is in the first picture, and have seen him in his black utilikilt on occasion. I was wonderin how to get in the KTB? I can't find a website or discussion group for them on the web.

Cheers,
Gary (TD3150)
