What we do
Serve our Communities
We serve our communities by bringing the public together for good causes, from local library reading events to nationally recognized Make-A-Wish activities. Our community involvement can make kids feel a little bit more grown up, and help adults remember what it’s like to be a kid.
Build Costumes
We guide our members in creating exact replicas of the costumes worn in “Star Wars.” Making a costume is sometimes a time-consuming project, but when we’re done it looks like we’ve stepped right off the screen and into real life.
Share our Love of Star Wars
Simply put, we love “Star Wars.” More importantly, we love the people – young and old – who also love “Star Wars.”
