501st Legion "Why We Do This"

[rramkissoon]

Great video - and it really does a wonderful job as a recruitment piece too. Just curious, what is the song that was used? Reminds me of stuff I have heard by Cirque du Soleil, but I don't know this one.

Thanks so much for uploading this, garak44. You do the Emperor, the 501st Legion, the Galactic Empire and the entire planet a favor by capturing the altruistic spirit of Vader's Fist so well. This was awesome, great job! :D

Hey 501st guys. Do you guys ever do battle and stuff when in uniform?

[Glambug79]

Watching that just takes my breath away. Brings a tear to my eye. I'm proud to say I'm a member, TI-655. I remember my first ever hospital troop and I will never forgot it. Bringing smiles to a child is one of the best experiences you could ever have. I've been out of the group for a while, and I'm getting active again. Watching that reminded me why I love being part of the 501st.

[garak44]

@Glambug79 Thanks!!!

[ArchoniusXXVII]

@Glambug79 Moments like these make me proud to be part of the 501st as well.

[TheCalenestel]

1: The Empire seems awfully full of love these days, I approve.

2: You should use this as a recruitment video! It made this 28 year old father of three consider joining the Nordic 501st (can't remember their name atm)!

3: Keep up the good work! And may the Force be with you.
