The galaxy is shifting—and the Dark Side needs YOU - With The Mandalorian & Grogu marching onto the big screen this May, Maul: Shadow Lord emerging from the shadows, Ahsoka Season 2 on the horizon, and even more Star Wars on the way—2026 is shaping up to be a banner year for Villains. 🖤
Ever wondered how those screen-accurate Imperials, Sith, and armored enforcers you see at conventions come together… and how fans like you become part of it?
📅 Next Saturday, January 24, Inferno Squad—the Northern Virginia sub-unit of the 501st Legion—is hosting a “Meet the Star Wars Clubs” panel for the public, alongside our friends in the Rebel Legion and Mandalorian Mercs.
This is a no-pressure, behind-the-scenes look at:�⚙️ The major Star Wars costuming clubs�⚙️ How costuming actually works (spoiler: you don’t need to be a pro)�⚙️ How fans transform into screen-accurate villains and heroes for a good cause
If you’ve ever stopped to take a photo with a Stormtrooper and thought, “How do I do that?”—this panel is for you. 🛑 RSVP via the Google Form to secure your spot: 👉 https://forms.gle/mKvtebrEbwsw6AwLA
Whether you’re curious, costume-dreaming, or ready to enlist, we’ll help you take your first step into the ranks.
💬 Question for the comments: If you were to join the Dark Side… which character would you serve as? Stormtrooper, Biker Scout, TIE pilot, Sith, officer—or something else entirely?
(The Empire is listening.)
