Honor is such a cool thing, even if it is amongst Imperials. What’s the stormtrooper creed? Strength, honor, and may your aim be true. And we saw this in action recently, when one unfortunate ‘trooper found himself needing a kidney. A matching donor was found — not surprisingly — with his brethren in the 501st. He received the donated kidney and all went well. No medical droids involved, and no broken hearts.

All kidding aside, it’s good to see that kind of support from the SW community. To the 501st: you’re a class act!
