I'm Finally 501st Legion Approved!

Over a year ago, I started this channel with a simple but ambitious goal: to get a screen-accurate Star Wars costume approved by the 501st Legion and officially join their ranks. What followed was an unexpected journey—filled with learning curves, two failed costume attempts, and a lot of trial and error. But now, after all that hard work, I’m proud to say that I finally made it into the 501st.

In this video, I’m sharing the full story behind my journey into the 501st Legion, including a look at my very first troop with the UAE Garrison at MEFCC (Middle East Film & Comic Con). Whether you’re a Star Wars fan, a future Legion member, or just curious about the cosplay community, I hope this video gives you some honest insight into what it takes to get approved—and what it feels like to troop for the first time.

What You’ll See in This Video:

The story behind how I joined the 501st Legion
My journey through failed costume attempts and how I kept going
Behind the scenes from my first official troop with the UAE Garrison
What to expect when trooping at a major comic convention
Tips for anyone hoping to join the 501st or build a screen-accurate costume
How Star Wars costuming brought me into an incredible global community

While this channel has explored a few different paths (yes, including some Daredevil cosplay), at the heart of it all has always been my love for Star Wars costumes, cosplay accuracy, and the 501st Legion.

Blue's Armory is a channel built around my love for costuming and Star Wars I've been making Star Wars costumes for years and finally started to share my love with everyone else. I am by far not the best crafter in the world but I'm hoping through my mistakes people can learn new skills and what not to do on their journey through this hobby!
