Hi Folks,

On Sunday, July 1st 2007, the 501st Legion CT Garrison inducted John Ratzenberger into the Legion as an honorary member during Bridgeport’s Barnum Festival Parade. It was a real thrill to listen to him talk about his experiences on the set of Empire. After we inducted him, we gave him a handsome plaque, as well as some other 501st swag.

Mr. Ratzenberger was in the film “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back”, playing the part of ‘Major Bren Derlin’, though most people know him as ‘Cliff Claven’ from the television show, “Cheers”.

Cheers,

Paul Starybrat- The Force Drainer
