Lucas loves a parade


By Jim Cheng, USA TODAY
Filmmaker George Lucas is coming to the Tournament of Roses Parade, and he's bringing a few hundred friends with him.
The Star Wars creator, the grand marshal of the 118th parade in Pasadena, Calif., on New Year's Day, will be accompanied by Darth Vader and 200 stormtroopers who are members of the "501st Legion," a group of fans from 22 countries and 36 states.

The Grambling (La.) State University Marching Tigers also will perform, dressed as Imperial officers.

In a first look at the concept drawing, one float depicts the Forest Moon of Endor, complete with cuddly Ewoks. The second imagines the city of Theed on the planet of Naboo, featuring three Queens of Naboo in ceremonial attire.
