Josh Thornton
As a member of the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion costuming clubs, Josh Thornton primarily dons screen-accurate Star Wars cosplays, including Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) and Anakin Skywalker (Revenge of the Sith). He also serves on the 501st command team. He does not limit himself to Star Wars costumes however. He has cosplayed as a wide range of comic characters: Spider-Man, Spider-Punk, Moon Knight, Deadpool, Nightwing, and Joker to name a few. He and his wife Courtney reside in Tulsa, OK with their furry family of Nebula and Rocket the dogs and Luna, Artemis, and Echo the cats.
