Welcome to the Rebel Legion Ireland Base

Welcome to the Rebel Legion Ireland Base – our Base serves Republic of Ireland territory.

The Rebel Legion is an all-volunteer, non-profit international Star Wars costuming club whos aims are to raise money for charities, to support community events and promote the franchise through appearances their members make in costumes that represent all eras of the Star Wars Saga.

It has been formed in 2000 to bring together Star Wars costuming enthusiasts and fans, giving them a collective identity both online and offline to meet and have fun with membership now surpasses 3,000 members globally.

Each country or region will have their own ‘Base’. Base members work in their areas or countries to create that local identity and to encourage teamwork within those communities.
Rebel Legion’s member’s research, build, craft and make their own costumes, in their own time and expense to appear at events.

Members are encouraged to strive for the highest level of screen accuracy and realism in order to bring the characters of the Star Wars universe to life.
As such it would be easy to mistake the Rebel Legion as a cosplay group but really we are a ‘costuming’ club; where accuracy and dedication to making the most authentic costumes is as important to our members as raising money for the charities we support.

As well as attending larger national and international events, our key objectives is also to give something back to the communities we live in through charity fundraising at the events we attend – large or small.

    Happy St Patrick's Day to all you lovely Rebels and naughty Imperials.

    Our fabulous Jawa is out partying. I'm not sure what's in their Irish coffee, but I'm pretty sure some of the contents were purchased in a dodgy Cantina on Tatooine!

    Translated from Jawaese.... "Avengers disassemble!"

    Our superhero Jawas always shout this every time they steal a droid for parts. Most folks think they're yelling, "Utinni!", but now you know.

    Surely his girlfriend dumps him once she finds out..

    Brave Fireman Jawa is a tad fed up. That's the third time this week his Watch has gone to a fire only to find it's just a couple of moisture farmers gently smouldering in the sun.

    All the way there in the Sandcrawler fire engine.only to use a brush and shovel. He really wishes those Imperials would do some housework
    and not leave him with the mess!

    Don't you just hate the start of the new year. This is the third time Sabine has input 2024 instead of 2025 into her gauntlet flamethrower.

    Dear knows how many Stormtroopers she's toasted by accident.

    Chewie's New Year's resolution is to stop eating Porgs in 2025.

    He's decided to try out this fancy, tinned Imperial food as he's heard it healthier. Here's hoping those blasters don't get stuck between his teeth.

    Happy New Year to everyone in all galaxies, no matter how far, far away.

    Kenobi suspects he's being followed, but the 501st Garrison on Tatooine is very subtle in its approach.

    It's hard to know for sure!

    And to think we thought Kenobi was working in a weird tuna factory for all those years. No better way to hide from the Empire than working as a server on their ice cream van.

    Our kindly Jawas offered to give Steve the TK a lift. Pity he didn't ask what type.

    All he wanted was to get to the Death Star canteen before Vader ate all the ewok pie. Now, he'll be lucky to make it home with just his boots!

    When you thought you'd stolen one of those fancy Roomba droid hoovers but it turned out to be a brush and shovel. Disappointing times for our light fingered Jawa.

    On the bright side, he is best placed to sweep up parts of the Death Star cinema after it gets blown up.

    Buckets off. A true legend has left us.

    Our friends in 501st Ireland Garrison put the feeling and emotions James Earl Jones filled our lives with in this beautiful tribute.
    As fans of the vast galaxy of Star Wars and the magical kingdoms of Disney, we find ourselves reflecting on the profound impact you've had on our lives. From the first appearance on screen, when you breathed life into Darth Vader, you became an enduring part of the Star Wars legacy. Your voice, deep and resonant, brought complexity and gravitas to one of the most iconic characters in cinematic history. It wasn't just your talent but the soul you infused into every line that made us feel, fear, and ultimately, understand the human journey within the armor.

    And then, as Mufasa in The Lion King, you became a guiding voice of wisdom and strength—a father figure whose lessons transcended the screen and touched the hearts of generations. Your words, filled with power and compassion, have echoed in our minds, reminding us to embrace who we are and to honor the circle of life.
    Whether in a galaxy far, far away, or in the heart of the African savannah, your voice has been a comforting presence, a powerful force that united fans across the world.
    You have left an indelible mark on storytelling, and though we bid you farewell, your beautiful voice will never be silenced. It will continue to resonate in the hearts and memories of those who adored you. You have inspired us, comforted us, and taught us in ways that only a true legend could.

    Thank you, James Earl Jones, for sharing your extraordinary gift with us. You are more than an actor, more than a character; you are a voice that shaped our worlds.
    With love and gratitude,

    The 501st Legion

    "Hey, something's not right here. This isn't the Sooga I ordered, and why's it wiggling around so much?!"

    Our poor Tusken should have known better than to buy breakfast from that Jawa cafe on LV-426.

    When you know in your heart that they wouldn't be as tasty as a Porg, but you will eat them if they steal another bit of the Falcon.

    Poor Chewie is going to need a lot of BBQ sauce to get through this!

    Huge congratulations to Liam Byrne on clearing his Kenobi series Obi Wan.

    This Ben is ready to get into some serious scrapes with young Leia.

    Translated from Jawa...."Get in, loser. We're going Sooga shopping!"

    I also suspect the vehicle is full of stolen parts. And, what a minute, when did that Jawa pass their driving test?!!

    Our Master Jedi @xadras.lye recently celebrated his birthday. The lucky Force user just happens to be married to a wonderful Jawa who really should be on The Great Endor Bake Off.

    Look at all the tasty treats she made him. I'm starving, just looking at them! Apparently, the secret ingredient is a pinch of sooga, wit
    h just a dash of battered Mandalorian.

    Things didn't quite work out as planned after The Last Jedi for Chewie. Rey got fed up finding Wookie hair in her Porg stew and giant hairballs in the bath. But Chewie is happy now being a signpost at various charity events.

    He loves being able to tell people, "This is the way." A tremendous joke, I'm sure you'll ag
    ree, but no one can understand his accent. Han would have loved that joke!
