“I felt a great disturbance in the Force… as if a million voices suddenly cried out ‘Nooooo!’ — and a million parents all screamed ‘YES!’” 🎒🚌

That can only mean one thing… it’s Back to School season! 📚✏️

Bank Holiday Weekend with the UK Garrison!

From retro cars in Gloucester to seaside sci-fi in Paignton, gaming in Hailsham, comic cons in Coventry & country shows in Kent

Let’s hope it’s sunny enough for Vader to break out his Daisy Dukes!

Yesterday our troopers joined the press call at the Old Royal Naval College, London, for next month’s Guinness World Record attempt — the largest gathering of on-screen characters in one place! Proud to stand for the Star Wars galaxy

✨ That’s the weekend that was! ✨

Our troopers were out in force once again — we helped raise funds for some incredible causes, including The Christie Charity, Autism Support Crawley, and the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance.

“Lord Vader, your carriage awaits…” 🚗✨

Even the Dark Lord of the Sith appreciates a stylish ride when travelling across the galaxy. Our Imperial Officer ensures everything is in order for Vader’s next mission.

Somehow, the Premier League has returned. Our troopers from the Imperial North Western Squad have already inspected one of football’s greatest prizes — the very trophy Blackburn Rovers lifted in 1995.

Two squads on intimidation drills. Both performed well… except one allowed Rebel scum to infiltrate.

Security review pending. Public poll open: Who does it better? 🧐
