The 501st Legion is a volunteer organization and does not accept payment for appearances. If you would like to make a donation in lieu of payment, that is appreciated.

Our membership consists of volunteers, most of whom hold full-time jobs outside of Legion activities. Our ability to satisfy an event request depends on a number of factors including availability of members, location and time of the event, and the significance of the event.

Events which directly or indirectly benefit the community and/or charity organisations generally receive a better chance of a 501st appearance than private functions (e.g., birthday parties, weddings).

Anyone submitting a request should be someone who has the authority of the event and should be over 18 years of age.

The 501st Legion focuses on Star Wars villain characters, but we recommend inquiring with our sister organization, the Rebel Legion, should you desire Star Wars hero, Jedi or Rebel characters at your event.

Also of note, at the request of Lucasfilm, LTD. it is the policy of our organization to refrain from any lightsaber dueling, mock fighting or demonstrations between the characters and the public and amongst the characters in a public setting where injuries could occur. Thank you for your understanding.
