^ Not trying to sound like an arse, but... who?
The Rebel Legion and Imperial 501st are two international Star Wars costuming organizations. Both are recognized by Lucasfilms as official volunteer groups. The Rebel Legion dons screen-accurate costumes of the "good guys" in the Star Wars universe (Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Mace Windu, C-3PO, X-wing pilots, Queen Amidala, Dash Rendar, etc.) and the 501st dress in screen-accurate costumes of the "bad guys" (Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Count Dooku, Stormtroopers, TIE fighter pilots, etc.).
These aren't your cheapy store bought costumes. These are your professional grade, high quality, $1,000+ costumes.
Both do many types of events, and are invited to numerous gatherings, such as parades, store events, Lucasfilm events, Disney events, parties, conventions, hospitals and so on.
http://www.rebellegion.com/http://www.501st.com/There's a base in every state in the US for both, and nearly every country around the world. The Cloud City Garrison is the Oregon and SW Washington division of the 501st, and the Kashyyyk Base is the Oregon and SW Washington branch of the Rebel Legion.
