The Great Lakes Garrison is the Michigan chapter of the 501st Legion, the premier Star Wars costuming club dedicated to creating movie-accurate costumes based on the "villains" of the Star Wars universe. Our motto is "Bad Guys Doing Good" and we use our love of costuming to support nonprofit, charity, and community organizations across the state.
