12月20日沖縄県南部こども医療センターお楽しみ会に501st（ファイブ・オー・ファースト）日本部隊が出撃しました。今回は、サプライズ出撃であったため、メンバーは子供たちに気付かれないように、スター・ウォーズを創造させる服装は一切排除して、センターに入りました。
お楽しみ会に子供たちが集まる中、レイア姫、サンタクロースと合流し、参加する事が出来ない子供たちの病室を訪問しました。
階下の開場には、まずサンタ・クロースが登場し、「今日は特別な友達を連れてきた」と紹介。
我々帝国軍の登場に、子供たちは大喜びでした。

The Nanbu Children’s Hospital invited us to support their Winter Festival. They wanted our appearance to be a surprise so this was a secret mission where none of the kids and most of the staff did not know we were coming.
We arrived in stealth (no costume or Star Wars stuff showing) and waited in the changing room while the kids went downstairs to the Christmas party.
After everyone was downstairs, Vader and his Legion joined Princess Leia and Santa as he visited and handed out gifts to all the children upstairs who were not able to attend the party. As the party downstairs was wrapping up, Santa made his appearance at the party downstairs.
Santa said he had some special friends visiting that night. To everyone’s surprise, Star Wars started playing and Darth Vader entered the room with the rest of his Legion marching behind him.
Our appearance was a BIG hit as many of the children and adults wanted to take photos with us. There was LOTS of Star Wars excitement and MANY smiles at the Nanbu Children’s Hospital that evening.
