501st Legion Marching in the Rose Parade 2007

[0Bonaparte]

… i would be the worst person for the drummer spot in the army… not because i cant keep time… because i would be doing crazy shit like fivelets and other such mind fucks for staying in step (fivelets are 5 individual notes over 2 beats (3 in the first and 2 in the second))

[buckyblue7]

i was waiting for the droid army to pop out of the crowd

[ENCStudio]

@mezachoria

The Swiss army actually carries weapons but you can't see them. Also they are very good and reputable but not compared to a trained soldier from U.S.

[thecopykidofthestarz]

Im joining. Imperial officer.

[tninbredretard]

where's Hand Solo?

[kenfreak0]

Three queens of naboo -_- if i was next to them i wouldv thrown my lightsaber at em.

It's the queen and two jedi, freakn idiots, cmon boos find someone that actually knows star wars.

[totalwar57]

3 QUEENS OF NABOO?!?!?!?!!! WTF!!!

THAT WAS AMIDALA AND 2 JEDI!! FUCKING TARDS

[mastercrowly]

@totalwar57 i know!! ayla secura and luminara.

[BASavage81]

The 501st really does what they said, they are not a bunch of guys who live in their moms basement. Most are well educated and have families of their own. In fact the guy who is Darth Vader is an engineer and has 5 kids. The kids at hospitals and other places love it when they show up.

[mastercrowly]

@BASavage81 ya. but they actually dont all make their own costumes. if u look at their website, to get in, u r just required to own a professional quality costume. most of them buy the supreme costumes or make some of the parts.

[Joesolo13]

@mastercrowly Most make there own

[TheElite115]

This woul be a cool march if the Empire existed and toke over earth.

[mastercrowly]

@TheElite115 lol ya and everyone cheering them on

[avatarspirit57]

I can't imagine the pope having an Army like this.

[MrZachoria]

@avatarspirit57 No he has a couple hundred Swiss pansies in ridiculous uniforms.

[avatarspirit57]

@MrZachoria Well, those Swiss guards are tough, that's for sure.

[abkalmo]

@MrZachoria You don't know much about the Swiss guard obviously. Try telling it to their faces, wimp. They don't wear the fancy uniforms all of the time either, and they carry modern automatic weapons. They would certainly beat your ass.

[MrZachoria]

@abkalmo I'm sure they could man. Not my place to offend a Defender of the Church's freedom.

[Clarinerd617]

no, C-3PO is the protocol (the android), and R2-D2 is the astromech (the can with the dome). Just goes to prove that the news media were all jocks growing up and had lives, went out on dates....

[Nitocolus]

It's extremely geeky and nerdy to say this, but, God, I wish there was an actual Galactic Empire... Too nerdy? Is it too nerdy to make a real one? I don't really care, I'll probably do it anyway... lol

[maoriboy298]

dude its not geeky. its fucking awesome

[Clarinerd617]

@Nitocolus Which one? The Rakata? The Sith Empire? The New Order? The Yuuzhan Vong? Pellaeon's Regime? Jagged Fel's regime? One Sith? Come on, which one?

[trihexilon]

@Clarinerd617 I'd go for One Sith

[mastercrowly]

@trihexilon id go for the empire.

[totalwar57]

@mastercrowly what they said was practically an insult to star wars...

[oPtir3s]

ists realy sick

[SpreadingtheMuse]

The Rose Parade is an annual event going back 120 years. The Star Wars crew was there only this once as George Lucas's personal entry to celebrate his appearance as Grand Marshal.

[grimofhell]

ill use this army to fight the vatican lol

[OriginalWispyCorn]

Agreed.

Can i join?

[grimofhell]

sure... could use a colonel

[Clarinerd617]

@grimofhell I'd use this army to fight the local high school athletic department...if stormtroopers could aim, that is...

[Joesolo13]

@grimofhell The swiss gaurds will kick you ass :)

[Besateswarrior]

[TIE7386]

[ComiCBoY000]

[qwave54]

Very very cool. Wish I could have been there. The commentators weren't very knowledgable, but at least they tried LOL

Both of the floats were amazing. And the 501st just made the whole parade.

[cinja71]

Yes, it was way better coverage than ABC and the Travel channel combine. Way to go 501st! You guys were AWESOME! TB-1345

[oldtarg]

Far superior to the KTLA coverage. The commentary was knowledgable and distinctive. Camera work was excellent.
