i believe the 2 of them never meet.

anyway whether the character dies or not doesn't have anything to do with the actor's desire to join the legion right?

On a side note, i have always thought that "Terra Australis Garrrison" sounds quite cool.

Maybe our local 501st can consider something like: Xinjiapo Garrison, Singapura Garrison or even Cingkappur Garrison.

Think with an open mind we must....

We can call ourselves the Kway Teow army!

Named after that famous city in Felucia, which is in turn named after a famous local dish by George Lucas who ate it and thought it was swamp food. D:

Anyway, I thought all Star Wars actors were already honourary 501st members?

not all. Captain Typho was an honourary member but nothing beats being a real member.
