The 501st Legion regrets to announce that its participation at the Kennedy Space Center space shuttle launch event planned for April 5, 2010 has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding event coordination. The Legion looks forward to future opportunities to support the Star Wars brand, increase awareness of pediatric cancer through R2-KT and further grow our partnership with NASA. We wish the crew of Discovery (STS-131) a safe and successful mission!

The 501st TK Project for Make-A-Wish is well underway and Jeremy Bulloch (501st member and Star Wars actor) has completed and returned his contribution, a Boba Fett-inspired autographed helmet. Although all of the blank Stormtrooper helmets donated by eFX Collectibles were spoken for, we also managed to secure one more for Friend of the Legion and Fanboys Director Kyle Newman who recently joined this charity effort. Click here to find out who is participating in the TK Project and see which helmets have already been completed!
