Texas's premier Star Wars costuming organization — bringing the Empire to the Lone Star State.
Star Garrison is the Texas chapter of the 501st Legion — the world's largest Star Wars costuming organization with over 15,000 members worldwide dedicated to charity and community service.
Every member builds and maintains movie-quality Imperial and villain costumes, vetted by the Legion's rigorous Costume Reference Library (CRL) standards. From Stormtroopers to Darth Vader.
We appear at hundreds of events annually — children's hospitals, Make-A-Wish, charity walks, libraries, and community events — all free of charge. The Empire does give back.
Star Garrison spans the entire Lone Star State with seven regional squads. Whether you're in El Paso, the Panhandle, Houston, or the Rio Grande Valley — the Empire is nearby.
Seven squads unite across Texas under the Star Garrison banner.
