    Thanks to all the team today! Both myself & @Mark Parsons were massively impressed with how the operation worked & most importantly, how friendly everyone was. Special thank you to the legend that is @Dropkick for allowing me to take his Shadow Scout for a test drive! Loved every minute of it!! Cheers Shane!! Look forward to seeing you all again soon!

    My wife and I had a fantastic visit to Ireland! Thanks to Ken and Shane for dropping by our hotel in Trim for some Star Wars chat and swag trading. We especially enjoyed stopping by the Smyth's Toy Store troop on Saturday to see Shane again, and to meet Andrea and Sean! A.J.

    OK Guys. We're really looking to having everyone down at the festival this year. So just a couple of things for you. Parking: There is an underground car park in the hotel. Its a ticketed car park. When leaving the hotel go to reception and ask for your ticket to be validated. There will be no charge then. The Con: The con opens at 11am to the public and finishes at 6pm. We will have a table and a large space for 501st, RI, RL, Ghsotbusters Ireland etc. in the Main FUnction Room in the Hotel. If anyone has any buckets, please bring them to collect for charity. Any PR material is appreciated Shane. Anything to dress up the table. Chaging Room: The changing room is on the second floor of the hotel and is accessed by lift. The chaging room is called The Kingston Suite. We will allocate a swipe card to each group to get in and out of the room. Refreshments will be provided. Trooping: Troop as long as you want. Dont feel under pressure to stay in costume all day. You all know the score. The weather is supposed to be good all day so no problem going outside to the front of the hotel to troop if you wish The Underground Cinema Team really appreciate everyone that is coming down to troop on the day. Over the course of the weekend there will be over 100 films screened in the hotel. As a token of appreciation we have double tickets for all of our troopers who might like to take in a film over the three days of the festival. Just let me know and I'll email you a code to retrieve your tickets. Any queries at all, just let me know. Dave

    Hi folks. Hope this is allowed. I recently bought an xenopixel lightsaber and that got me in the mood to start a generic Jedi costume. I am looking for advice on best place to get this. I have zero sewing skills so would need to purchase the clothes. Hopefully not too expensive. If anyone has any tips or advise that would be great.

    Attention Troopers. This is an event that Keith has organised. It looks absolutely fantastic, well done Keith. ALL EXPENSES TRIP TO COSTA-DEL-TRALEE FOR HALLOWEEN PARADE Hey Troopers. Due to the massive success of this event last year, I have again been working on this one in the background, and now happy to open it up for people who are interested... I have been in talks with the organisers of the Halloween Parade this year, and they have secured some funding to pay travel and accommodation expenses for anyone who would like to come to Tralee and take part. Depending on the costs involved, we may also have enough euro left in the kitty for a meal too. Similar to last year, the parade route will be approx 15 mins. After this, we would be in a security zone, where we would be posing for photos and interacting with the crowd (who will be behind barriers), for approx 1 hour while the fireworks display happens. During this time, there will also be music playing, and all you need to do is ask Shane "Those Hips Don't Lie" Murphy about the dance moves!! There will then be a secure meet and greet with people for photo opportunities, and that would be it. The parade starts at 6.30, so possibly be ready to troop from the hotel at 6pm, and we should be no longer than 2 hours. Once finished, we would de-kit and meet up for a meal in the hotel bar. We would change in the hotel in the bedrooms. There will be a limit on how many can attend due to budget restraints. There also needs to be a minimum amount of troopers to allow this go ahead. At the moment, they are looking for between 6 and 8, a minimum of 6 to enable this to go ahead. Once I get interest and numbers, I can then discuss this with the organisers. Costumes are open between 501st and Rebel Legion but they are looking for “Iconic Comic Con Costumes” (their words!!). So the likes of Stormtroopers and masked costumes / iconic characters would be great. Any questions, please feel free to give me a shout! Keith If you would like to sign up, please comment with your costume details too. One last thing... a donation to DEBRA Ireland in memory of Donie's little angel Eanna, will be made on behalf of the Garrison.

    Daniel -- Cool! As it happens, our last night will be at the Travelodge hotel in Swords, as we wanted to stay near the airport. I just checked on the store location on Google maps, and it may even be within walking distance from our hotel. A.J.

    Some tinted acetate sheets for an overhead projector are a good cheap alternative. I just glued some to a simple frame I cut out of plasticard, and velcro'd that inside my helmet.

    The librarian of Castlebar Library in Mayo reached out to us to see if anyone would be available for their first mini comic con in the library itself. It was Offaly Library that recommended that they contact us and you know how well they looked after us. They can provide a safe and secure place to get changed and refreshments will be provided. It looks like they have a really great day organised so far for the event.

    There's no rush is getting a costume completed. Some of us can take months or years to finish a costume build. Feel free to sign up as a crew member & attend events, so you can see how we get on at troops & it gives you a chance to chat to us & ask any questions you may have.

    Hi everyone! My wife (ID-61950) and I have been wanting to visit your wonderful country for years, and we're finally making plans to do so either this coming September, or next April. After years of waiting, now that it's actually going to happen we're finding it hard to wait for our trip! We don't have exact dates or itinerary yet, but we do know that no matter where we go or what we do, we'll be starting and ending our visit in Dublin. We'd love to meet up with anyone available while we're there. And I'm sure that as our trip gets closer, I'll be asking lots of questions. For now, just a quick one: Which of our target months has the best weather -- September or April? Thanks! A.J. Hamler TK-51351

    Hi Patrick and welcome on our forum....what you are asking is i believe one of the most asked questions around...and the answer is tricky since not everything you might find online would be good for approval. I would suggest to start registering on the global forum http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/index.php and once your account is approved, you can check out there what other people do and what's the feedback given to them, there is even a section of people selling parts they produce or they own...in general to avoid wasting money don't buy anything unless someone either here or on the global forum there is telling you it might be approvable....the main thing though would be that it would need to correctly fit you following the generic jedi costume standards (https://rebellegion.com/jedi-costume-standards-generic/). You have quite a good search ahead of you, but there are a lot of resources around you can use.

    Hi there @HHall Once you have registered yourself as guardian & your daughter as a cadet at http://galactic-academy.net you are all good to join us. Just make sure you are there with her on the day as our troopers have very poor vision & hearing when we wear our armour buckets. Looking forward to seeing you there on the day.

    Hi there, if you haven't already you'll need to register with the Galactic Academy - @Dropkickshould be able to help with that. Any cadets will also need to be accompanied by a guardian on each troop, but we look forward to providing a warm welcome!

    My plan is to go to the Drogheda mini con on the same day, so that there will be some troopers at both events. The tattoo convention is one of my favourite cons. So much colour & such amazing characters can be seen at this one. Enjoy the event.

    Hi Everyone, Shane here. Brand new to this. I was at DCC last weekend with 2 other new members Mark Parsons and Keith Connolly and decided to sign up. Been chatting to TrooperShane on insta who's been very helpful. I have a Shepperton Design Studios Stormtrooper armour that I bought last year and I'm looking for any excuse to wear it. I would love to get involved and chat to other more experienced troopers for advice on helpful mods to upgrade the armour. Whether it's upgrading the aesthetics or comfort of the suit or even more technical things like the voice changer. Any useful hacks really. Any help appreciated. Thanks guys. Shane

    Would it be possible for you to brig a family member or a friend to help you out? If you sign someone else up as crew, they too will receive a voucher. I cannot do Chewbacca on my own. So my wife is coming with me to help me kit up, be my eyes and ears so to speak for the duration of the troop, and then help me de-kit.

    Can't believe how quickly our trip has come around. This time next week -- plus a few hours -- we'll be on an Aer Lingus jet on our way to Ireland. Since my original post, we've extended our visit by a few days. The earlier part of our itinerary stays the same, but instead of heading back to Dublin on the 21st, we'll instead go to Glendalough/Wicklow for two nights, back to Dublin on the 23rd, and flying home on the 24th. I'm so glad we decided to add a few more days! A.J.

    Well hopefully it wont have to come to that lol. Not sure I could part with mine. You also can take part in events as crew, its a great way to learn the ropes and get to know other members. It's also important to help out the TKs and others wearing buckets as its pretty hard to see out through them.

    Hi Keith, Funny on how you dived right in, as its pretty much how I started here also. Met lads down at the May the 4th film festival a few months back. After one conversaion had my outfit ordered and I am now hooked. As Shane and Daniel said everyone here is extremely helpful, and approcable if your ever stuck on something. Personally I found digging around on the builds in the form and chatting with the people, has given me great insight on little tips and tricks. Welcome aboard

    Will do my best to get down for this one. This was the event that I attended with the lads from the E.G back in 2018, that then made me sign up to the R.L. So it would be good as a 1st troop again after so long.
