Today, we come together to celebrate a remarkable milestone: the 25th anniversary of the Rebel Legion, a community built on a shared love of the galaxy far, far away, and a dedication to making a difference. Through countless hours of hard work, creativity, and passion, our members have consistently raised the bar for screen-accurate costumes, bringing the beloved characters of Star Wars to life with astonishing detail and authenticity. From its humble beginnings, the Rebel Legion has blossomed into a premier fan organization, bringing together thousands of passionate members across nations and uniting them with a shared commitment to authenticity, creativity, and generosity.
For a quarter of a century, the Rebel Legion has set the gold standard in costume recreation, ensuring that each member’s portrayal of their fan-favorite Star Wars characters is as close to screen-accurate as possible. But our club is about more than just costuming—it's about using our talents and enthusiasm to give back to those in need. Beyond the incredible craftsmanship, it is the spirit of community, mentorship, and giving back that truly defines the Rebel Legion. Members have dedicated their time and talent, not just to create awe-inspiring costumes, but to support charitable causes and inspire fans of all ages to explore the magic of Star Wars in a meaningful way. Over these 25 years, we’ve participated in a countless number of events, using our presence to raise money and awareness for charitable causes. Whether it’s visiting children’s hospitals, organizing fundraising events, or participating in conventions and community gatherings, our group has proven that the Force is not just about fandom; it’s about making a tangible, positive impact on the world around us.
The Rebel Legion is a family where inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. From the very beginning, the Legion has worked tirelessly to ensure that this fandom is accessible to all, embracing fans of all abilities and backgrounds. Through pioneering initiatives and a welcoming attitude, the Legion has become a beacon of hope and positivity, showing that anyone, no matter their background or ability, can embrace the Force of creativity and community.
As we reflect on the many successes of our club, we honor the dedication, passion, and charity that have fueled the growth of this extraordinary organization. We are proud of how we’ve come together not just to create stunning, screen-accurate costumes but to embody the true spirit of the Star Wars universe—one of hope, generosity, and community. We are a family united by our love for Star Wars, and through our actions, we show that the power of fandom can change lives.
Here’s to the past, present, and future of the Rebel Legion—may the Force continue to be with you all, always.

Supporting Foster Care Around the World
Throughout the years, our members have diligently supported and promoted numerous charities, both locally and globally. In honor of the Rebel Legion's 25th Anniversary, we aim to concentrate our efforts on supporting organizations that provide foster care services to children. Annually, a growing number of children find themselves in need of a home, a need that has risen exponentially in recent years due to natural disasters, war, and economic decline in certain regions of the world. Children require a stable home to flourish and become the future.
Here is a link to resources that offer foster care services to children worldwide. Naturally, these resources rely on the generosity of others to operate. We are asking our members to consider sending donations they collect to one of these charities in their country or region. Of course, anyone can help to be a hero for these children. So if you are reading this and want to help, reach out to your local base and ask how you can donate.
