Phoenix Comicon Dune Sea Garrison

Along with those Rebels, there was a whole bunch of stormtroopers out at the Phoenix Comicon.  You should look at the video from last year to compare the improvements to the Trooper Training.  Here’s a bit about the 501st from their website.

“…The Legion is a volunteer club formed for the express purpose of bringing together costume enthusiasts and giving them a collective identity within which to operate. The Legion’s aims are to celebrate the Star Wars movies through the wearing of costumes, to promote the quality and improvement of costumes and props, and most importantly to contribute to the local community through charity and volunteer work…”

The Star Wars elements of the convention were the things that my son was most looking forward to.  You can see in the way he runs the course that he loves being a trooper.  I put together a video of the course.  Sorry about the cell phone ring in the middle of the video.  That was my friend Chris calling me to come over to the con so he could meet Chewbacca.  😀

*note* I’m still trying to figure out all this video stuff so be sure to click the up arrow in the lower right hand corner of the video and select “HQ” to watch the video in HIGH QUALITY.
