When filming a climactic battle scene for The Mandalorian, the production faced a shortage of stormtrooper costumes. To solve this, the creators called in members of the 501st Legion, a fan organization renowned for their screen-accurate stormtrooper armor. These dedicated fans eagerly agreed and appeared in full costume on set, bringing authenticity and enthusiasm to the episode. Their involvement not only saved the scene but also created a memorable experience for both the fans and the show's cast and crew.
