Stormtrooper Walking 3,000 Miles For Charity

As proof that not all Star Wars’ Stormtroopers are evil, take Jacob French.  The Australian has set out to walk around 3,000 miles, from Perth to Sydney, dressed as a Stormtrooper.  French plans to walk around 25-30 miles per day in the effort, which he says is to raise money his charity, The Starlight Children’s Foundation.  His goal is to raise around $53,000 over the journey which should wrap up sometime this November.  French is a member of the 501st Legion, a worldwide “army” of dress-up Star Wars fans and first wore the costume to run a half marathon last October.
