The 501st Legion – Vader’s Fist.
The Legion is an all-volunteer organization of Star Wars costume enthusiasts that make regular appearances at conventions and charity events all over the world. The focus of the Legion’s creative output is the recreation of the costumes of the Empire and bounty hunters from all eras of the Star Wars mythos. These folks do amazing work as volunteers for noble causes, raising donations and bringing some energy and excitement to to charity events.
BMS owes the 501st Legion a thank you for the support of many of its members at the Celebration V Star Wars convention. Vader’s Fist, we salute you! Oh! The 501st Legion also has its own Podcast which has been running for just over a year. Check it out.
The photo of the Death Star Gunner was taken at Baltimore Comic Con a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t get the chance to talk to any of the 501st at the show due to our surprise inundation with sketches and activity around our table. Fortunately, I did have a chance to snap this picture of the excellent costume of one of my favorite Imperial soldiers.

We’re glad we can be of help! Some of us are even vivid readers of your webcomic. Great job! 😉

I get the feeling that Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow would be just like Boba Fett if you guys did a G.I. Joe parody comic. 😉
Hells yeah!! Thanks for the 501st shout out!!!

He was the only 501st my son and I could get pictures of. Stupid dead batteries… took forever to find a place to buy them, well that and going to the museum.
I owe him some thanks since he looked to be off duty (had helmet off) and was willing to put it back on to snap a picture for us.
So he’s going to capture them by….being annoying? Good plan. :p
Well, in Empire, he captured them just by being cool, so the BMS plan was really only a slight variation on the theme. 🙂
Besides, seeing as the Falcon is a heavily shielded and armored, highly maneuverable, and reasonably well armed ship captained by an ace pilot, why doesn’t Han just fight back? He takes on freekin Tie Fighters for breakfast then turns tail when Fett shows up! What’s that all about? 🙁
I guess it’s because, like their stormtrooper comrades, the pilots can never hit anyone. XD
Great comic and a great shout out to the 501st. Thank You!

Im a little surprised and not surprised at how many 501st read the comic.
So Boba Fett harasses his prey before he captures them. Wears them down psychologically, or just annoys the crap out of them.
Seems to be in keeping with his passive-aggressive tendencies. >: )
God, I can’t read Boba Fett in either Jeremy Bulloch or Temuera Morrison’s voices. I can only hear good ol’ Breckin Meyer.
