Star Wars Costume
From LoveToKnow Costumes
While Star Wars costumes are great for Halloween, they can be found any place fans of the franchise gather together. They are popular attire at comic book and science fiction conventions, and costumed fans were in full force at the premieres of Episodes I-III, the newest Star Wars movies.
Since 1977, Star Wars has captured imaginations with its epic tale of good versus evil played out against exciting space battles. The beginning of a new trilogy of movies in 1999 only brought more fans to the franchise.
Making Your Own Star Wars Costume
Many costumes from the Star Wars universe are difficult to make at home. Even some do-it-yourself costume tutorials start with a store-bought mask. Often it's because of the alien races involved - who really has enough fake fur sitting around the house to make a Chewbacca costume? Other times it's because of the detailed masks and armor characters wear, such as with Darth Vader.
The Padawan's Guide to Star Wars Costumes
The Padawan's Guide to Star Wars Costumes is a detailed resource for costumes from every Star Wars movie. Whether you want to be a Jedi, a young Padme Amidala, or Han Solo, you'll find helpful instructions and visual references to allow you to mimic the look of the original characters. Those who aren't looking to create their own costumes can still enjoy the detailed discussions of the inspiration behind specific outfits and the potential significance of design details.
Studio Creations
Studio Creations offers detailed instructions for Stormtrooper, Biker Scout, Snow Trooper, Endor Rebel Soldier, Rebel Fleet Trooper, and Tusken Raider costumes. However, this site is not for the casual costumer, as instructions often include steps like "Build a Vacuum-Form Table."
The Parade of Unfortunate Star Wars Costumes
As with any subculture, Star Wars fans can sometimes get a little out of hand with their costumes, and in true Internet fashion, there's someone around to make fun of them. The Parade of Unfortunate Star Wars Costumes features caustic commentary on some of the more inventive costuming choices, like Stormtrooper Elvis and a female Boba Fett, and costumes that lose something when combined with the photo setting, like Darth Vader posing in front of pink curtains. Think of this site as what not to do when making your own costume.
