Appearances
Members of the 501st Legion frequently attend fandom's larger conventions including Dragon Con, San Diego Comic-Con and Megacon among other Sci-fi conventions where they often host a fan table or booth where the public can learn more about the Legion, see costumes and props on display, and speak directly with members.
Musician and comedian "Weird Al" Yankovic has invited members of the 501st Legion on stage during performances of his Star Wars-themed songs "Yoda" and "The Saga Begins", recruiting members of local garrisons while on tour. In appreciation, the 501st inducted Yankovic as a "Friend of the Legion", in September 2007.
