Star Wars Cosplay - A Serious Hobby
Star Wars Cosplay Merch may seem uninteresting, but for others it's a serious pastime. The costumers (also called "cosplayers") are devoted fans who make use of their talents and creativity to bring their favourite characters from a galaxy far, from the present world. It's also a fantastic way to connect with other Star Wars fans and share the love of this iconic series.


Costumes from the original trilogy remain popular, however sequels have added fresh styles and tweaked some of the older costumes. With the opening of Galaxy's Edge at Disney World, you have even more options to cosplay your favourite characters from a galaxy far, long ago.


There's something about the white masks and graying hair that makes the first trilogy Star Wars character a perfect costume for those getting a little too old to go trick-or-treating. There are great Star Wars costume ideas for older fans in the sequels and on TV. Luke, Leia, and Han have all grown mature, yet their looks are still very appealing.


Stormtroopers, the white-armed soldiers of the Galactic Empire, are one of the most sought-after Star Wars costume options. It is possible to go the drugstore route and pick up the pre-made Stormtrooper outfit with a strange bodysuit and a thin plastic mask, or you can go all-out and make your own movie-quality armor. This is what a lot of committed cosplayers do and the results are stunning.


Han Solo, the smuggler hero from Star Wars, is another well-known costume design. The character, who was played by Harrison Ford in the original trilogy as well as the sequels, provided comic relief as well as a never-say-die attitude which made him a fan favorite. The most memorable Han Solo costume is from A New Hope, where Han Solo rescues Princess Leia by saving Leia from the Death Star.


If you're looking to create a more subtle look, you can attempt to channel Anakin Skywalker during his final scenes as Darth Vader. This costume is made up of a dark-blue shirt, brown pants, and a heavy black dress. It's a breeze to make using basic sewing skills and manipulating the fabric.



Padme Amidala is a well-loved Star Wars costume that's easy to make. For a replica of the look from The Phantom Menace, you only require a pair of black pants with a long-sleeved cream t-shirt and brown boots. Plus, you can add a black cape for extra impact.


If you're ready for the challenge, try to create the bounty hunter Boba Fett from the Clone Wars series. This costume is quite simple to make if you own the basics of Mandalorian armor that you can buy from online retailers such as Procosplay. If you'd like to create a more authentic appearance then you can include special effects such as Sith eyes or a helmet with the T-shaped headgear.
