Roses...and Stormtroopers

Los Angeles (E! Online) - Some things you don't plan. Like, training a company of stormtroopers for the Rose Parade. You don't plan that. And then one day the phone rings, and an emissary for George Lucus is on the other end. With a New Year's mission. For you.

You are Anthony Toledo.

"I was not expecting this at all," the 41-year-old Californian said. "It did blow my mind."
Being asked to train 200 civilians to march in Imperial warrior gear in the 118th annual Rose Parade before a million spectators, tens of millions of TV viewers and a grand marshal named Lucas will do that to you.

Come Jan. 1, you will be part of a 30th-anniversary Star Wars blowout in the streets of Pasadena, California. There'll be an Ewoks float. There'll be a planet Naboo float. There'll be a 175-piece college marching band—its players outfit as Imperial officers—blaring "The Imperial March." There'll be Lucas. And there'll be you. And 200 stormtroopers. (snip)

Considering the circumstances, it would be more appropriate to go with the Star Trek theme.
