The Old Sarge on Duty at the Imperial Palace                     Move Along...  Move Along!!

"Old Sarge Oberon" TD-0124 is thought to be the oldest active trooper in the 501st Legion, being cloned in 1941, in Batch 12, Chamber 4, hence "0124". He was nurtured and given basic orientation at the Great Kaminoan Cloning Facility, in Tipoca City, the Kaminoan Capitol, stilt-mounted above the churning seas of the storm swept watery world, Planet "Kamino". He was a member of the initial order for the Clone Army commissioned by Jedi Master Sifo Dyas (later Darth Sidius) of the Republic. He completed advanced training at the Imperial Trooper Training Center on Planet Carida and went into service as Clone Trooper "Oberon" with the operating number of TC-0124 and served with valor during the "Clone" Wars.  The Clone Trooper's basic characteristics were derived from the genetic material of the Bounty Hunter, Jango Fett, to develop a fighting force more independent and more intelligent than the Battle Droids than in use. Color coding on the helmet and shoulder pauldrens denoted the rank of a Clonetrooper; with green denoting Sergeants, blue representing Lieutenants, red for Captains and yellow being Commanders. The Clones designated for "command" duty were specifically trained for such service.  Some "regular duty" clonetroopers, including Trooper Oberon, were later selected, trained and promoted for Command duty service.  

For service during the Rebel Uprising following the Clone Wars, Oberon was reclassified as Stormtrooper TK-0124 and was among the troopers who were "First through the Door" when Princess Leia's Rebel Blockade Runner "Tantive IV" was captured by the forces of Lord Darth Vader aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer "Devastator".  Soon thereafter, he was redesignated as Sandtrooper TD-0124 for duty on the desert planet Tatooine, serving with the Mos Eisley detachment.  Oberon is one of only a few "named" troopers still in service with the 501st Legion, as the assigning of "names" to troopers was suspended early during the creation of the first Trooper Clones Legion, prior to the so-called Clone Wars. He originally served with the Empire City Garrison and is now assigned to Garrison Carida; where he has received commendations for loyal service and attained the position of "Sergeant at Arms" and has become popularly known as the "Old Sarge".  Oberon has now been deployed to the new and elite Mos Eisley Police Department (MEPD) Unit, formed in 2004.  (See Clone Trooper Oberon in his Clone Armor.

Scroll down past the Sarge's Campaign List for a Gallery of more photos of him and other troopers on and off duty. Also see him during Mardi Gras on his Mardi Gras Page  

 

  

At his age (67 and counting in 2009) the "Sarge" has to get hugs and kisses wherever he can !!  Here he shows-off the lip-stick evidence of one of the many kisses and hugs he received during the Krewe of Tucks Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans on Feb-21, 2009.  006,007  300h

Lord Vader (Darth Zippy - Kevin Zabawa - ECG) and a Royal Guard stand before the digitally multiplied  Empire City Garrison  for the  BOLI "Best On Long Island" Award Presentation Event on May 15, 2001,  hosted by the  Long Island Advertising Club.  Actually, only the first two rows are real.  The remainder were recruited via digital enhancement by the  Image Nation Studios of Bohemia NY and this view was taken from the Event Program Book.  The theme of the event was "Sci-Fi" and the troopers of  "Vader's Fist" provided atmosphere and assisted in handing out the 110 awards presented for outstanding achievement in print, TV and radio advertising.

Do you think your FX helmet looks too big? - Or an ANH helmet would look better?  A lot depends on your overall body size and head size.  Here, the larger FX helmet looks OK on the larger trooper, while the smaller ANH bucket seems more in scale with the smaller trooper's body size.  Bobba Fett always looks good, no matter what!
