CE16 Costume plans

i'll probably be going as "waiter guy" from Celebration Europe in Essen.

 

I'm planning on going as a Jedi. First time costuming at a con so really looking forward to it! First time ever will be at TFA midnight opening so that's going to be a lot of fun!

 

Hi, Anne. Mind if I liven up the thread again? (or at least try )
Might go "simple" and take an Han Solo costume... Hey, he was really cool in TFA!

 

That sounds awesome! Hope you get in the contest!
Intriguing idea of a TFA cosplay group!

 

For those taking costumes, registration is now open for the Cosplay Contest. You can see the rules and sign up here on the Celebration website.

 

How is the plan going?

 

So possibly a Leia + a super secret? How fun! I don't know about cosplaying a TFA Han myself It would be cool but I'm waaay closer to ANH Han age-wise. And that's a cool costume too!

 

Oh yeah? So it's Doctor Borg Skywalker? Hahah. Sounds cool though! Crossover costumes are always neat!

 

Anyone planning to do any NJO / Legacy comics costumes?

I'm done with Twin Suns Jaina suit, and was hoping to do something from Legacy, maybe Marasiah Fel is there's time. Ofc, it's fun see some of these costumes in a team, so if anyone wants to join forces for something specific a la Fel's Empire etc., let me know!
Also, if anybody knows of other sites I could ask the same question, do share.

Edit: Quite new to cosplay, hence asking.

 

I'd love to see some NJO costumes! Would love to get a Jacen outfit one day but no idea where I'd even start with that so just sticking with Jedi robes for this one.

Started a pre-con work out regime last week when I realized my outfit had gotten a bit tighter than I'd like! Never thought cosplay would help encourage me to stay in shape

 

Jedi, Jedi and Jedi. Oh, and my RFT since they're back in style with Rogue One. If I get the Endor Trooper, a Twi-lek or Togruta done, I'll wear that, too. I work extra hard to make sure my hall costumes are comfy; they only normal clothes I bring are what I wear on the plane coming and going.

 

Help me, cosplay-pro Kenobis!

How do you normally transport lightsabers on a flight? Do you check it in as special baggage, or carry it with you into the cabin, like a conference poster tube?
Since I've never flown with one, any advice is very welcome!
Hope this is the right thread.

 

I'd contact whatever airline you're flying with and ask. You might have to put it in the checked luggage given that it is a prop weapon.

 

This is England, it could be beautiful weather or it could be cold and wet LOL! Always best to pack for both if you have room.

 

Hey, that's awesome! I always intended to go to the cosplay show, now it's a must, huh?
Hope you get that TFA Leia in order, would be cool to see!

 

I have a generic Jedi outfit and I'm putting together a Director Krennic one. My partner is hoping to have the padme lake dress and a night sister cosplay ready.

 

Nightsister sounds really cool!

As much as I'm always amazed by the level of detail people put into face character costumes I always love seeing what people do for generic Jedi, Sith, Nightsisters etc and the unique touches they use.

 

Yea should be good, the bow and fluorescent paint arrived the other day.

We both fancy going down A SWTOR route for personalised Jedi or smuggler. Make it match your character.
