Club Jade

Now that is dedication. Anyone will to walk around in stilts after a couple of beers has my respect.

StarWars.com documents the disposable costumes of the 70’s and 80’s. We might forget the graphics, but we’ll never forget the smell of those masks.

StarWars.com’s Bonnie Burton has a guest-post up over at io9 with a variety of tips and tricks for DIY Star Wars costumes from all around the internet.

I’ve always been fond of the quick and easy Jedi robe. Sure, it won’t get you into the Rebel Legion or anything, but it’s easy and instantly recognizable, and what more does one really need out of a Halloween getup? (And if you pair it with some of those old-school printable masks, like Yoda up there, actually kinda creepy.)

The Lucasfilm/ILM Halloween party always scares up some good photo oppurtunies, and this year looks to be no different. Bonnie shared a bunch of pics via Twitter last night, and now they’re up on the blog and her Flickr for further perusal.

Rebelscum will start accepting entries for their costume contest tomorrow through November 2nd.

A legion of the undead, including these Star Wars folks, made their way through Minneapolis last Saturday for the Zombie Pub Crawl. (Photos by Chris Baker.)

Who dares take the Jabba the Hutt costume out on a test run? Bonnie does. For science! Or something.

The Elvis Vader was spotted at Dragon*Con by Jason Puckett. (This Elvis does not appear to be the original with a new look, given the big announcement on Elvistrooper.com.)

Star Wars Shop has a bunch of standard original trilogy costumes – your cheapie Hans, Lukes, and stormtroopers and et cetera – but perhaps the most horrifying? The Jabba costume. What self-respecting adult would wear this in real life? Sadly, I’m pretty sure there are several of you out there. And I demand photos.

Though I have to love that they picked the lost Backstreet Boy to model Luke, and one of the Hardy Boys for Han.

San Diego Comic-Con is over. But the con’s spirit – and the reports – are sure to live on. We’ll try our best to catchup. Just not right now. (Photo by the San Diego Shooter, aka Nathan Rupert.)

StarWars.com is still posting pics as well, including our first look at a Clone Wars pop-up book and our only look at the FOTJ panel.
