Ninja and Pirate

This is my 501st comic! As such I wanted to pay tribute to a wonderful organization called the 501st. This is a collection of absolutely insane individuals who spend countless time and money out of their own pocket to build completely accurate Trooper costumes and more in order to attend events and raise money for charity. They will drive hours with massive tubs filled with flimsy plastic armor and the fumes of paint wafting through their car in order to put a smile on someone’s face. They do it because they love it. When my cousin’s daughter was sick with cancer the 501st were an absolute godsend. She would be non responsive but as soon as that Vader walked into the room her hand would squeeze and her heart rate would spike with excitement. These people are amazing and my wonderful incredible sister in law is one of the best and most loyal troopers you’ll ever know. The 501st may be Vader’s Fist, but they truly are bad guys doing good.
