Rose Parade 501st Star Wars Spectacular Tribute

[CrimsonKissaki]

Mmm, Twi'lek dancing girls :) Gives any parade a touch of class.

[darthdaris]

um change the title cause some of those people were from Rebel Legion so...we would much apprecieate it.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

I was one of those guys in the Rebel Legion, the Xwing pilot. I suppose the name should be equal opportunity. Whereas the 501st had more members there, we had more character exposure. ;)

[darthdaris]

oh...hey you bin on the forums lately?

[SpreadingtheMuse]

The RL forums? I'm on the base forums mostly. I'm Squadron Commander of the Corsair X Wing group of Endor Base.

[darthdaris]

oh.

[rain68666]

501st for life

[xavierm7]

love stars wars

[coleraine20]

we need to give them guns and send them to iran. 501st FOREVER

[watwur2]

lol you should of given the stormtroopers guns, they would look way cooler :)

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Han Solo wasnt allowed his gun, and they wouldnt even let some of the jedi have lightsabers. Crowd security in a post 9/11 world you know.

[QueenPimptress]

I'm pretty sure that Playboy's Girls Next Door were on that float somewhere but not in the video.

[jszarecki]

no they werent

[nurtih]

Wow, awsome!!!!

[TK229]

TK-229 Neon City Garrison

Royal Guard to Vaders Left

Thank you for this wonderfull tribute!!

[SpreadingtheMuse]

I hope I spelled your name right in the credits. One of the Royal Guards' identity was hard to chase down.

[mainue]

Completely moved to tears. Great production. Thanks. May the force be with you.

[ZombieGirlSin]

Wow that must have been awesome to be in that parade! I would of loved to at least seen it!

[Darusdei]

omg... geeks in uniform :DDD

marching was amusing :D

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Just dont call them that to their face. ;)

Darth Vader is a fully trained SWAT.

[Darusdei]

and im army ranger...

(yes i know swat is propably trained harder) blablabla

[SpreadingtheMuse]

I think ranger is the harder one, but I know only what I hear. So when in doubt, put one of each in a fight ring and see who walks out alive. ;)

[tinasattler1]

thaqt ids so neet

[gorio4]

it is super ccccccccccccccoooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooollllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllll cool

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Always a pleasure to meet a fan. ;)

[bigtube1975]

Thank you SOOO much for this vid.. this is the 13th one i have watched and BY FAR the BEST!!! I love the use of the soundtrack music. I am the world's biggest Star Wars Freak....and I just want to let you know... that the Force is indeed Strong with you my friend. Thank you and May the Force be With You

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Thank you for your kind words. ;) Are any of the other 12 here on Youtube? I've seen a few here and there but nowhere near that many. Were you in the parade or in the 501st?

[Catuveluni]

WOW that is amazing, those storm troopers with all the flags. So cool, Americans now how to do a REAL parade. Wish they would do this in England.

[TK8040]

Great video!! Impressive, most impressive. :) Thanks for sharing it.

Sincerely,

Chris

[Gen7x13]

Oh plz I beat the 501st many times on both BF2 and SWBF2, eventhough I must say they are the greatest still for doing this in honor of the star wars legacy

[SpreadingtheMuse]

I should hope so. Real life isnt a video game you know. ;) Stuff that happens in real life actually counts for something.

[patersonfam]

501st kicks ass

[501stlegionnaire]

indeed has to be great to join one of those parades or just looking at it,

but the quetsion is how come so few clonetroopers from the 501st ??

they're uniforms are way cooler=)

Cheers

[SpreadingtheMuse]

The breakdown of clones vs scouts vs Tks was chosen by lucasfilm, and I think its a breakdown based on the actual % of clones in the 501st. More people have TK armor, and more people recognize that anyway.

[onesian]

kudos to the 501st

[roosterflu77]

Hoo-rah brother

[tk175]

wookies don´t need sunshine...they need a shave!,-)

[buckyballsblacky]

I often dress up as a wookie

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Good. Next time we'll let you walk the parade with us. You'll get a sense of accomplishment and some much needed sunshine. ;)

[tk175]

great!

greetings to the worldwite members of the 501st!...the greatest family on earth!!

wookiees:i like them too! their fur is a good carpet!;-)

[buckyballsblacky]

I just love wookies there so nice

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Dont we all. ;)

[buckyballsblacky]

What a bunch of cock piss its not real you fucktards!!

[SpreadingtheMuse]

What the hell are you complaining about? Its a freaking parade, not Episode VII, and no one said otherwise, so what the flying flip are you whining about?

[valerie374]

What's Bob Eubanks doing here, anyway?

[startide]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA ! That one was brilliant I can tell :P

[Havock19]

Un grand bravo à la 501st garnison française !

[startide]

Woot un frenchie ici ? On se connait ? :D

[LuciernagaNyx]

if the troopers had blasters...

[GohTrunks]

lol darth vader waving happely :P

[CalacticEmpire]

lol how maney stormtroopers were there becuase.

and do you know a place in the EU how sell stormtrooper armor

[SpreadingtheMuse]

200+ Troopers were there. The 501st has many garrisons in Europe. Find the closest one and they will get you armor.

[vernhalen]

What is the basic cost of building a Stormtrooper uniform??? or where in Canada could a person get one.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Short answer is $500-600. But the good news is that if you type "Stormtrooper armor" into Google you could probably find a dozen places to buy it from.

[grievousfan224]

how do I join the 501st and what are the requirements?

[LVStud71]

Thanks for adding me (Scott Linting) One note: You have Albin listed twice. One right after another.

[LVStud71]

Scratch that. Alan and Albin. My fault.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

I would have put you on the first time (and wish I had), but the list I was emailed from the 501st site apparently wasnt complete. The LCO Mark Fordham (who is in my own garrison) says that as yet, there is no official list of who was there. He therefore granted me a tad of leeway (which was VERY scary actually).

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Even if I had, I think he deserves it. ;)

[GramblingTigers]

Great job Bernard

[SpreadingtheMuse]

THIS VIDEO CAN NOW BE DOWNLOADED.

[swguru2004]

Awesome video, I sent it to some friends who marched in the parade.

[startide]

Well you forgot me ;) But I won't curse you too long for that ;)

GREAT video !! That's a fantastic event to have been part of, and a great honor too !!

[td0013]

Wow! Great video!  Thanks for putting it together! The event was an honor to be a part of!
