Just because we were freaking out over The Force Awakens and Star Wars Rebels, doesn’t mean we missed the truly spectacular cosplayers at Star Wars Celebration.
The talent and dedication of these fans really blew me away when I attended Celebration this weekend. I wish I could have gotten photos of every incredible cosplayer I ran across, but you can check out the ones I was lucky enough to meet in the gallery below.
My jaw actually dropped when I saw Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon who looked exactly like Alec Guiness and Liam Neeson. I was charmed by the little boy dressed up as George Lucas.
I saw pilots, bounty hunters, members of both the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, and so much more!
Cosplayers like to be creative and I saw that in full force with interpretative costumes. Many fans crossed franchises – such as a Captain America Jedi, Tinkerbell bounty hunter, or Meg from Disney’s Hercules as Han Solo!
Characters from Star Wars seemed to time travel as I ran across an ancient Celtic Stormtrooper, a dapper Stormtrooper (mustache and all!), and felt the power of the 19th century industrial boom with steampunk creations. Just look at Princess Leia in a corset, blaster in hand and boasting several cool gadgets. Or a female Boba Fett in a 19th century dress, complete with a parasol.
And did you ever think you’d see Boba Fett as a Playboy Bunny posing with Vader? I didn’t think so.
I’m still amazed by all the cosplayers I saw. You all made for a truly memorable weekend.
