The "Star Wars" Family
The "Star Wars" universe is a big one -- Garrison Carida and the 501st Legion are only one part of a larger world. Good guys, Bad guys, droids, adults and eager kids -- they're all different but they all share two things:
Their love of "Star Wars," and wanting to make people smile.
