Star Wars - the legacy
In 1977, a small science fiction film captured the imagination of millions worldwide. Thirty years later, the movie, Star Wars, remains top, not just as a movie favorite, but also a pop culture mark. There aren't many "movements", philosophy, or way of life, for lack of better words, that are adopted by multi- generations with universal enthusiasm. Kids who grew up watching "Star Wars" are now passing it on to their kids.
Recently, I've had the pleasure of working with a group of Star Wars fans, better known as the 501st Legions for a scholarship fundraiser. These guys are your everyday working folks with such love for the movie that they use almost any excuse they can find to dress up as one of the characters in public. Lucky for us, the best excuses are when you help others, such as charities, visiting children's/veteran's hospitals and fundraisers (like Nuvein Foundation). When you ask anyone of them as to why they do this, they'll say because "it's cool!" with the same child-like enthusiasm that they and we all had 30 years ago.

- Open Question: I have a question about Red Tails?
So I bought Red Tails the other day. I love this movie. I love George Lucas films period. I was just wondering? And I'm pretty sure other Star Wars fanboys/fangirls noticed this too. Others probably didn't. Did you notice that the Officer's Club in Red Tails looks extremely similar to to Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope? Am I the only one that thought this? - 12 hours ago
- Open Question: If the world is going to end this year, why bother trying to make a profit?
Many people are selling "2012 apocalypse" survival kits, underground shelters, books, movies, etc. and getting rich from the sales.As Han Solo said to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope "What good is a reward if you're not around to use it?" .If the world is going to end on 12/21/2012, there is no point in making money.Everything on Earth, including the money, will be gone. Just so you know, I am not saying whether or not I believe the 12/21/2012 prophesy. - 3 days ago
- Resolved Question: Question about Star Wars?
When Uncle Owen buys C-3PO in A New Hope, how does he not realize it's the same droid that he fixed up and owned for quite a while in Attack of the Clones? And how does C-3PO not realize that was his former owner? - 6 days ago

Our foundation, Nuvein Foundation, gives out scholarships to students of literature and creative arts. We managed to give out 4 scholarships instead of 2 from last year as a result of the 501st's participation in our fundraiser.

Very nice page. Thanks for the info on the 501st Legions. We've been looking for something our legion could do for community service. Maybe an areonautics scholarship or something like that. Thanks again.
