\"501st<\/a><\/p>\n

Next Saturday the 22nd<\/sup> September 2012, the streets of M\u00e1laga will be invaded by the evil imperial troops of Darth Vader! But fear not, we aren\u2019t really under attack; this unique spectacle is actually a well rehearsed and staged event organised by the 501st<\/sup> Legion Spanish Garrison.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

So what on earth is the 501st<\/sup> Legion? If you are a fan of the popular Star Wars saga then you\u2019ve probably heard of them; for those of you who don\u2019t follow these sci-fi classics, the 501st<\/sup> Legion is an international fan-based organisation dedicated to the construction and wearing of amazing screen-accurate replicas of Star Wars uniforms, including Imperial Stormtroopers, Siths, Bounty Hunters and, of course, Darth Vader.<\/p>\n

Members if the 501st<\/sup> Legion \u2013 in this case the Spanish Garrison \u2013 make appearances at promotional and charitable events and have the full support of the films creator, George Lucas. On this occasion, they have joined forces with the \u2018Fundaci\u00f3n Luis Olivares\u2019, a charity dedicated to helping children with cancer (and their families) in the hope that the fans and spectators who attend the parade will help support this worthy cause.<\/p>\n

On Saturday afternoon (from 5pm to 10pm) 60 members of the 501st<\/sup> Legion Spanish Garrison will take to the streets of M\u00e1laga in a memorable afternoon for children and die hard Star Wars fans.<\/p>\n

The map below shows the route the troops will be taking through the streets of M\u00e1laga with the final march taking place down the popular \u2018Calle Larios\u2019.<\/p>\n

This is the first time this event is held in M\u00e1laga and a great opportunity to take the kids our for a fun and certainly \u2018different\u2019 afternoon and you\u2019ll be helping the children on the Luis Olivares Foundation. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
