The Official 501st Stance On Fanboys Posted By Mike on April 1, 2008
With all of the Fanboys hoopla and coverage going on out there, the 501st Legion has been mentioned quite a bit in connection with the "rebellion" against The Weinstein Company. The 501st has posted their official stance on their website. See below:
"The 501st Legion is not involved as an organization in any protests, boycotts, or movements related to the film Fanboys, nor do we have an opinion or position on the film (which has not yet been released). A few of our more than 4,000 members in 47 countries participated in the project, and accordingly may have their personal opinions about the current issues surrounding the project. But their participation in this film was not coordinated through or sanctioned by the Legion. Our organization is an all-volunteer costuming club that focuses on official Star Wars promotions and charity work. Mounting protests is counter to the Legion's mission and would detract from the time and energy that we currently devote to more meaningful causes."
