Rebel Legion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rebel Legion is an international fan-based volunteer organization dedicated to the construction and wearing of screen-accurate replicas of the Rebel Alliance, the Galactic Republic, the New Republic, the Resistance, the Jedi Order, and other heroes from the Star Wars universe. Founded in 2000,[2] the group was formed in response to the decision of sister organization the 501st Legion to remain dedicated to Galactic Empire costumes.[3] The Rebel Legion makes appearances at private and public events, including charitable events and official Star Wars promotional events. The organization does not charge a fee for appearances, instead encouraging a donation to a charity.
