Costume Reference Library

The Costume Reference Library (CRL) is intended to serve as a guide to the standards of eligible 501st Legion costumes. Below is a listing of characters currently accepted for membership in the 501st. Each character with three or more representations in the Legion will eventually receive its own detailed costume breakdown and requirements page. The 501st focuses on Star Wars villain costuming. If you are considering a Star Wars hero, Jedi, or Rebel costume, we recommend you visit our sister organization, the Rebel Legion.

PLEASE NOTE: The CRL is a fairly large undertaking involving the input of the Legion Officers, Legion Council, and all Legion Detachments. The CRL project is very much a work in progress.
