DragonCon 2001 Legion March to Planet Hollywood Atlanta

The Planet Hollywood March
[report by TK878 / edited by Avatar]

Atlanta residents who missed the march (or the semi-chaotic wandering) from the Hyatt to the group photo shoot, were in for a treat when when the troops marched on to Planet Hollywood Atlanta. Click on the photo on the left for an arial view of the area.

All the troops from the legion group photo, along with late comers, marched (o.k. walked) two city blocks along Peachtree St. to Planet Hollywood. The Legion march ended up blocking traffic in downtown Atlanta as 100+ individuals crossed West Peachtree St.

An assortment of photographers, videographers and tourists followed alongside and ahead of the troops, making the event a spectacle. Patrons leaving the restauraunt must have been stunned at the sight of white armoured Scout troopers and Stormtroopers entering the restuaraunt followed by Darth Maul, Darth Vader, the Emperor and his Royal Guards.
