The only time I have ever heard of 501st-only events is when the sponsoring organization specifically asked for only stormtroopers and Sith.Otherwise, they have been quite open to other SW costumers joining them -- with the provision that it be a movie-accurate costume. Generally, members of other SW costuming groups like Rebel Legion and Jedi Assembly are preferred, but it's not limited to those groups; it's the quality of the costume that really matters.
I'm told differently, that to join one must have a screen accurate Imperial aligned costume. I mentioned I did have a costume, a Jedi, and the woman I spoke with was QUITE specific on how Jedi in the 501st must be 'recognizable'. So.. Maul, Vader, Dooku, Palpy.. etc. She said 'something the general public would recognize. (somehow Mara Jade fits the bill
don't ask me why). But.. unless you're bald and chalk white.. there were no evil aligned female Jedi. Are we just talking about trooping here Schph? Or did you join the 501st without a costume?
