Some people really love Star Wars. So, to show their love, they will go to great lengths to dress up as their favorite characters for nerd conventions, nerd parties and any other nerd-based gatherings. Here are some of the worst. (Although, that first Chewbacca picture might qualify as the best. I can't tell anymore.)
This might be the only thing gayer than the Gay Pride Parade. (Note: If you've ever been to the Gay Pride Parade, you'll know that it's very very gay.)
I don't remember Boba Fett wearing khaki shorts and being 25-pounds overweight when he was bounty hunting. This must be his cousin, Boba Fat.
Aside from the "luring-you-into-my-van-with-some-candy" move, the "homemade Chewbacca suit" is the pervert's next preferred means of molesting children.
At one point, he finished putting his Chewbacca costume on and said, "Alright, looks good. Let's leave the house."
Paper, huh. You really think you can dress up as a Stormtrooper using nothing but paper?
I can't tell if this Chewbacca costume is bought or made. If it was purchased, then it belongs in the "Worst Purchased Star Wars Costumes Ever" list. Sorry about that.
Look for this Darth Maul to star alongside Mickey Rourke in "The Wrestler 2: Revenge Of The Sexually-Confused Sith."
Someone needs to do something about Stormtrooper Boot Camp. No wonder why the rebels keep winning.
These poor children have no chance. No chance at all.
Somebody has to go through a lot of pizza boxes to make this Stormtrooper. Luckily the boxiness of the storm suit is slimming.
OK, cutting arm holes in your parents 1973 shag rug doesn't not qualify as a Chewbacca and/or Ewok costume.
Star Wars fans will see this as a "red clone helmet." While everyone else will see this as a "piece of garbage."
"Hey, I've got an idea! I'll use paper plates as my Stormtrooper suit! I'm in college! I can do anything!"
"Hey, I've got an idea! I'll tape a Stormtrooper picture to a bucket and use it as a helmet! I'm six-years-old! I can do anything!"
I'm going to let this one speak for itself.
Dude, Darth Maul is the one Star Wars character made specifically for bald guys. You and your thick head of hair are a couple of dicks.
At first I was thinking that this was actually kind of cool because he made this Boba Fett costume out of Legos. Then I remember that a grown man made a suit out of Legos and I chuckled to myself as I uploaded it.
BONUS: This might be the best Star Wars Costume Ever:
Find some man, find some woman, that you can connect with . . . even for a moment, 'cause that's really all that life is, Sister. It's a series of moments.
Have to disagree with the 1st two Chewy costumes. Those ones rock for homemade! Also, one that you called a bad Chewy costume is, I think, a very bad ewok instead.
rasta scooby doo up on his hind legs but that death star dude at the bottom with the paper mache beach ball is great
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006718/
i did use a beach ball, as the template...howd u know?
but its not paper mache, its newspaper layered with watered-down glue in a spray bottle.
plaster and cheese cloth (people often call paper mache) is around the ball for support, simple poster hanging clips for the two hemispheres, paper plates for the "eye", and i just hand painted the texture with acrylic.
the exhaust port? uh.. um.. HEY did you know i was going to shoot green silly string out the eye, but decided not to bother making a mess. maybe ill remake it.
the idea was from standing around after episode II for the 2002 comic con. it was just a joke idea that became a reality.
another college friend was Han solo in carbonite that year
it also functioned as the boulder in Indian jones.
I think you're mistaken about the first picture as well, That's obviously a very poor black face of Rick James... Possibly combined with the predator, either way... Fucking racists.
the kid near the bottom: white little league baseball pants, a hole in a plastic tablecloth, adidas, and a white bucket with a taped-on storm trooper picture. damnit thats funny. someone should call child services though.
hey! smart guy! move out of your parent's garage! get a sense of humor! and language skills! and less cynicism! and fuck off! dick! hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhaha
>These poor children have no chance. No chance at all.
Aww come on the little r2d2 is CUTE! That would go on the fridge if it were my daughter. I'm not sure that dad's into it though.
But if we stopped having all our 'lame' fun all that's left is making a living and waiting to die.
I have every intention of 'going goth' in the next few days on hubby request if we can get the babies in bed earlier enough -- and eventually the Serenity ball will go to a city I want to visit and I'll work on my own homemade costume.
Hope to see the less judgmental of you at Gencon this year! I haven't made a costume for that, but with this kind of encouragement, I just might.
I don't know why I got such a kick outta this, but I can't stop laughing. Especially for the kid with the bucket on his head and the anomaly of Stormtrooper Boot Camp. I want to see the entire series remade with these costumes.

That is the best damn thing I have heard all month bro .
Ok I am gonna have to go to a comic con , get drunk , and laugh at people . Man this is good people watchin here .
The elitist blogger should be so lucky he lives in a town and gets to see funny shit like this . Love his snyde comments though .
too bad the author of the page is too stupid to know that the cardboard stormtroopers are intentionally made that way to be *funny*. And I suspect that more than a few more of the photos have the same basis.
Ah, karma. Try to be mean and superior and get shown you are a moron who takes things out of context to get his rocks off.
Too bad you're too stupid to figure out the author knew not only that, but also that the costumes stood on their own as funny, regardless of context or intention, and was smart enough to know that filtering out the intentionally funny costumes would have resulted in a poorer article.

Why? I have a lot of time on my hands... And I might be a Star Wars fan... But, why people? Play a video game or something...

A series of moments spent looking for opportunities to quote movies and hope no one notices.

Dude, is that George Lucas walking behind those "box" troopers in the second picture?
March 31st, 2009 at 02:34 pm
Holy shit, I hope you're right.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
He's right. I know George S. and was behind him in the parade
March 31st, 2009 at 03:45 pm
haha! i was going to comment on the same thing. im glad someone else saw that too!
April 1st, 2009 at 10:37 am
That pic is from the DragonCon parade. The Lucas lookalike (sadly not the real deal) is one of the fixtures of the Star Wars section.
April 6th, 2009 at 06:24 am
Not George Lucas, but George Starkey-- http://us.imdb.com/name/nm1521266/

if it was Lucas those nerds would have blown there loads ten times over, all inside there cardboard costumes

Winner: paper plate storm trooper
March 31st, 2009 at 02:47 pm
Which one is the bad ewok costume? I can't keep my damned furry Lucas creatures straight...
March 31st, 2009 at 03:38 pm
the one above the red clone picture. Though it could be a whip-ass carpet elemental.
March 31st, 2009 at 02:59 pm
What a bunch of losers.
March 31st, 2009 at 03:15 pm
Reminds me of the time my high school history teacher made himself a Ghost Rider costume for Halloween.
He took pictures and photoshopped flames into it. Somehow this picture was integrated into one of our lessons.

Let's see your creative ingenuity, smartass.

Until you've done consistantly better, you might want to back off the snark.
At least these folks DID something.
There are two types of people - those who try and those who don't.
Those who try usually do well enough.
Those who don't usually blog...

the half finished chewbacca looks like adam buxton, if it is, I imagine it's meant to be bad
April 1st, 2009 at 11:12 am
Wonder where the thermal exhaust port is on the Death Star costume?
April 1st, 2009 at 03:29 pm
Right below the main port.

If you're under 12, dressing up in Star Wars gear is cute.
If you're over 12, dressing up in Star Wars gear is lame.
(and yes, you can substitute "Star Trek" or any other fan obsession and still be perfectly accurate)
April 1st, 2009 at 12:32 pm
and you can substitute FaceBook, MySpace and Twitter, too!
April 1st, 2009 at 04:44 pm
Are you saying we can't dress up as Facebook once we hit 12?
April 1st, 2009 at 03:41 pm
What if you are exactly 12? Such are the dilemmas of life.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I dunno, you're mom likes to dress up on the weekends, and she's hot.
April 2nd, 2009 at 07:11 am

BTW - You know that everything funny gets a lot funnier if someone with a stick in their ass gets upset about it, right?
April 1st, 2009 at 03:05 pm
Embrace the arguments! I like the pizza box trooper, looks like that lego starwars game. Well done, actually.
