Rain or shine, last weekend's parades were a blast, and the fun isn't over! We'll be stepping out once again this Saturday in Pingree Grove with our friends from @midwestgarrison501.bsky.social. (We're pretty sure they eventually convinced Lobot and Leia to give their flags back...)

Pack the sunscreen and water - parade time is here! Our members and our friends from across the galaxy will be marching in Carol Stream on Friday morning and Bartlett on Saturday. Hope to see you there!

Our Rebels and our friends from @midwestgarrison501.bsky.social were honored to be part of the festivities at the OSF Children's Hospital Almost Home Kids Open House. Over a hundred visitors joined the celebration of their mission to serve children and families living with ongoing medical needs!

We're looking forward to catching the breezes from the lake and celebrating Pride on @navypier.bsky.social this Saturday with our friends from the Midwest Garrison!

1st Saturday in June is almost here, and a little downtown construction won't stop Joliet Public Library Star Wars Day! This year's FREE celebration will be held from 11am - 3pm at Duly Health and Care Field. Come for the parade, art, costumes and more, and stay for the Slammers' Star Wars Night!

Maker Monday! Did you know Chewbacca's huggable coat was made of yak hair and mohair latch hooked onto mesh fabric? These days most Wookiee makers use synthetic fibers but the process is the same. Thinking of trying it? Check out this quick demo!

The Rebel Legion web team has been hard at work, and it's almost time to launch the new and improved forum! As part of this process, the costume submission form has been disabled and approvals are paused.

May the Force be with moms all across the galaxy this Mother's Day!

Celebrating four new costume approvals! HiraethSolo as Han Solo, GaryE a Jawa *and* an X-Wing pilot, and last but certainly not least, welcome new member Widgetoc as Nightsister Merrin!

It's been a great weekend so far, and we're getting fueled up and suited up for one more day of family fun! Don't miss two terrific events with artist Jeffrey Brown: Star Wars Storytime at 10:30 am and How to Draw Star Wars at 4:00 pm in Family HQ Interactive. And visit our booth right next door!

The Illinois Star Wars costume clubs (and some friends from neighboring states!) are ready to welcome you in Family HQ at C2E2!

Troopers from Nar Shaddaa Base and 501st Midwest Garrison came together to present a joint Friend of the Legions award to Dr. Miriam Rajpal of Advocate Children's Hospital. That new Rebel pilot helmet really sets off the smile that greets us every time we visit her patients!

Celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth!

Anakin, you're breaking her heart! Congratulations to HiraethSolo and SassenachSkywalker on their coordinating latest costume approvals! #anakinskywalker #padmeamidala #jedigeneral #republicsenator #newcostumes
