Ever since the very beginning of Fantha Tracks in 2017, every Monday here on the site we have posted the scheduled events held by the 501st UK Garrison across the UK, and – as is the case in every garrison of every costuming group around the world – women are a huge part of what they bring to conventions and events, portraying the women of Star Wars and the 501st celebrate that on International Women’s Day & Women’s History Month.

From troopers to officers, armorers to leaders—women have always been a vital part of the 501st Legion. This International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we honor the incredible contributions of the women who bring the Galactic Empire to life. Join us as we celebrate their dedication, talent, and passion for Star Wars and costuming. The Legion is stronger because of them!
