I wouldn't mention any kind of connection with the costuming group just because of the image perceived = troopers in bars. That sort of thing may be frowned upon by the franchise. But then again, I've seen racy photos of our esteemed founder at conventions and nobody ever called him out on it...
A word to the wise, just use discretion. That's all I ask. If you are going to represent Cloud City and the 501st, do so with style and class and reflect upon us in a positive way.
