“Some fans are content to collect action figures… other fans want to be action figures”. So says the 501st Legion, a group dedicated to spreading the gospel of Star Wars, via meticulously recreated costumes and charity work. The fully outfitted unit of Imperial Stormtroopers stops by Discovery World today, along with the R2D2 builders group, a club aiming to be a resource for anyone interested in building their own replica of the plucky, lovable droid. Beyond being a chance to interact with your favorite characters from the films, today’s event is also an opportunity to give back, featuring a raffle benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation in addition to the displays and panel discussions.
