The 501st Legion is an international costuming organization that celebrates Star Wars by creating and wearing high-quality costumes representing the villainous, morally ambiguous, or non-partisan characters from the Star Wars universe. The Legion fosters a deep passion for Star Wars, drawing together a community of fans who want to honor George Lucas’s modern mythology through immersive costuming experiences. While some fans enjoy collecting action figures, others choose to build their own detailed, screen-accurate costumes of iconic Star Wars villains, sharing their love for the saga by bringing these characters to life at Star Wars-related events. In addition to promoting the Star Wars universe, the 501st Legion contributes to the local community through costumed charity work, fundraising, and volunteering, giving back to society while supporting the global Star Wars fanbase. Through these efforts, the Legion has evolved into not only a celebration of Star Wars fandom but also a force for good in communities worldwide.

Doing Good Through the Power of the Dark Side 

In a galaxy not so far away, a unique community thrives—one bound by a shared love of the dark side of the Force. The Dark Empire (TDE) is more than just a costuming club; it is a home for those drawn to Sith Lords, Dark Jedi, Underworld figures, and fallen warriors. Yet, beneath the armor, robes, and glowing red sabers lies something unexpected: a commitment to charity, creativity, quality costuming and community.  

Embracing the Dark Side, Creating New Legends

Since 2007, TDE has been a haven for Star Wars fans who walk the shadowed path. It welcomes both custom and canon personas, inspiring members to craft their own Sith, Dark Jedi, Hunters, Smugglers, Sith loyalists, Dark Magic Practitioners, Pirates, and Underworld characters. This creative freedom fosters an expansive realm where imagination reigns. 

More Than Costumes—A Mission of Giving TDE’s purpose extends beyond stunning costumes.

At its core, it is a force for good. Behind fearsome armor and ominous hoods hiding unnerving eyes, its members are driven by a singular goal: to make a difference. Through charity work, fundraising, hospital visits, and community outreach, TDE proves that even those who portray villains can be real-world heroes. There is something powerful about stepping into a children’s hospital in full costume and seeing a child’s face light up. In those moments, the hard work, craftsmanship, and dedication to costuming take on a deeper meaning. Whether raising funds for worthy causes, supporting local charities, or simply bringing joy to others, TDE members embody the heart of Star Wars—hope , inclusion and connection. 

A Community United by Passion

Every member of TDE joins for different reasons. Some are lifelong Star Wars fans rekindling childhood magic. Others are passionate costumers eager to build something unique. Many find a welcoming fellowship—a group of like-minded individuals who encourage and inspire each other. Unlike the Sith of legend, known for betrayal and conflict, TDE thrives on camaraderie. Experienced members guide newcomers, ideas are shared, and friendships form. Every character, whether custom or canon, adds to the collective experience. 

A Legacy of Darkness, A Future of Hope

For nearly two decades, TDE has combined the thrill of the dark side with the light of generosity. It has grown and evolved, redefining what it means to be a Star Wars costumer—not just through skilled craftsmanship but through acts of kindness that leave a lasting impact. TDE members may don the cloaks of Sith Lords, wield the weapons of assassins, and play the part of galactic outlaws, but their mission is one of hope. Through passion, creativity, and compassion, they prove that even in darkness, there is light.
