1138: Celebrating 50 Years of Lucasfilm
https://youtu.be/HAzsewIvDAk
The 501st Legion's United Kingdom Garrison deployed to Elstree Studios in Borehamwood today in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm, and to raise money for the FIRST worldwide charity.
The Garrison paraded through the Elstree streets and entered the studios with flags flying, assembling at “The George Lucas Stage” (Stage 1 was renamed the George Lucas Stage in 1999 in George’s honour, and saw many reels of filming of Star Wars).
Mr. Roger Morris, the Managing Director of Elstree Studios greeted us and posed for photos in front of the famous George Lucas Stage as Elstree Studios and Lucasfilm have many years of collaboration with the production of Star Wars movies.
The 501st Legion are taking part in the worldwide campaign, “1138: Celebrating 50 Years of Lucasfilm”, in support of FIRST. FIRST is the world’s leading youth-serving non-profit advancing STEM education.

A happy birthday to the man who really had the plans for the DeathStar and the entire Star Wars universe-George Lucas . 77 years old today.
On what would have been his 77th birthday, we celebrate the tall and gentle fuzzball that portrayed the original Chewbacca, Peter Mayhew.

September 5th is the International Day of Charity.
The date was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the passing away of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 "for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress".
The UK Garrison and 501st Legion invites you to celebrate the day by making a donation to support an important charity: UNICEF.
UNICEF works hard to save and protect the world's most vulnerable children.

Sad day made a little better.
Providing an Imperial escort and guard of honour this morning for a lifelong and dedicated Star Wars fan who sadly lost his life recently at just 55.
It was the brothers hope that the 501st UK Garrison might be able to help make today something more that just a day of sadness for the family and friends, and give his brother the kind of send off he'd be delighted with.
It was our honour and privilege to be able to do this for him and his family.
This is what we do.

What can we say but Happy New Year from everyone at the 501st UK Garrison.
Hopefully 2021 will be slightly better than 2020.
Be Safe!!!
