His love of Star Wars and life infected all those he met. Beckett is an honorary member of Tyranus Garrison and the 501st was there to send him off in style!

Personally, I don't want to be objectified or compared to a Nazi! I agree that the ladies should be the ones to make a final call on the name (and females only voting, if it comes to one). I appreciate all the suggestions and really like the "Sand Sisters," as it has the designation of a Sandy mixed with the camaraderie of sisterhood. There doesn't seem to be anything that might be conceived as offensive to this name. Correct me if I'm wrong! Other suggestions could be: The Dunecats (an animal native to Tatooine) or to come up with our own acronym, like C.A.T.S. for Crazy A** Tatooine Sisters....yes, we need something else for the first two, but for now I've got nothing. Suggestions?
