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:
That Darth Maul with the red tights is actually Maul Stanley! He's only half Darth Maul -- he's also half Paul Stanley, lead singer of Kiss! He does funny interviews with rock stars and asks them about Star Wars! The dude is fucking hilarious and last year he did an awesome interview with former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick. I don't have a direct link to that, but his website is MaulStanley.com -- very funny stuff for sure.
Hmm... I really think that some of those were supposed to be deliberately bad. Just a thought.
In any case, I don't think those were nearly as bad as others that I've seen before, especially when you consider how bad some of the anime/manga cosplayers can get here in the states. Not saying that I want them to stop, but sometimes it's better to not wear a piece of orange spandex with your bra hanging out of it. (If you know which picture I'm talking about, god help you. If you don't I don't recommend looking for it, no matter how funny the picture looks. It cannot be unseen. She was supposed to be a character from FF.)
I love the one with the blue trash can that has a piece of paper reading "R2-D2" taped to it. So bad it's funny. Same with Darth Burkha in the back of the shot.
What is the green trash-bag thing supposed to be anyway? A demon booger with sunglasses? And what's with the random LARPer?
I completely understand what you're saying, i'm not gay myself but i have friends who are and people who use 'gay' as a derogoratory term are suggesting it's a bad thing to be that way, and suggests you're homophobic to be using it as a slander.
The kids with the trashcan r2d2 are a brilliant, minamalist study of the characters of star wars. The rest are un-self aware idiots, grasping for acknowledgment of their existence, just like all these those who comment here about "gay" and "fail"
oh, no photos at my son's 4th birthday party this weekend then...i am 38 and my mum is making my Princess Leia outfit for me too...i feel a bit of GAY-ness coming on
If you're a dude, then there will be massive amounts of gayness.
Regardless, though, if your mom is making your costume and you're three decades too old for that to be happening, something has seriously gone wrong with your life.
Right... because making the effort for their sons birthday party and ennlisting the help of granma really makes them a terrible person without a life. If you think making a childs day a special occassion is pathetic you really have your priorities wrong.
This article has so many great costumes. They should be proud of themselves.
Any best of all so many great ideas for my next fancy dress party - I particulary enjoy wearing my Princess Leia costume made from an old sheet and ear muffs.
Yes, I cetainly agree.
These are most wonderful costumes
I myself look a bit like a wookie when I forget to shave.
I do fantansise over princess leia, like the girl in one of those photo's. She;s so hot - I guess that's why the student is wearing paper plates, so that he can relieve himself easy, and dispose of the evidence.
Mmmmm.
Man you really ripped on the Chewbaccas and Stormtroopers. Even when there was like 4 other people in crappy costumes you only picked on the stormtrooper!
And FYI The BoxTroopers are really fun and the crowd lovess, them. Every year they get more and more in their ranks. Last year they included Clones, Chewboxxa, Darth Vader and more

Who's nerdier (and thereby more pathetic)? the nerds who make there star wars costumes or the nerds who critique them?
April 2nd, 2009 at 05:43 pm
Who's nerdier, the nerd who bases his comment on a line from the original Star Wars movie or the nerd who picks it up?! :P
April 2nd, 2009 at 03:12 pm

Resorting to calling something "gay" in order to make fun of it = FAIL
April 2nd, 2009 at 08:56 pm
lol fag
April 3rd, 2009 at 04:51 pm
You could be more ignorant. You could have used "Your Gay" for "You're Gay". Naaaaaaaw, you're still a stupid fuck.

What the Heck is that green trash bag thing anyway?
April 2nd, 2009 at 09:14 pm
I'm thinking it's supposed to be Jabba the Hutt?
April 3rd, 2009 at 01:37 am
I thought it was Yoda
April 5th, 2009 at 12:15 am
Yoda is the kid on the far left with the stick.
April 5th, 2009 at 10:06 am
I just assumed he was one of Robin Hood's Merry Men and in the wrong picture.
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Still using FAIL to make fun of something = Gay.

Great costumes
I like the photo of teh ewok. Great use of carpet.
I really enjoy a good carpet muncher.
April 4th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
the paper plate stormtrooper is amazing
April 5th, 2009 at 12:16 am
Yes I agree. The paper plate trooper is great!
April 19th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
yeah - the paper plate is my favorite, but did you check out the yoda?
April 5th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Man you really ripped on the Chewbaccas and Stormtroopers. Even when there was like 4 other people in crappy costumes you only picked on the stormtrooper!
You must really hate stormtroopers.
May 2nd, 2009 at 05:56 pm
Well stormtroopers are evil...
April 6th, 2009 at 05:25 am
Impressed in the wall street shot they managed to get George Lucas to show up!
April 8th, 2009 at 06:43 pm
It's a restaurant in Atlanta, and "George" is a guy who dresses up as George Lucas. He looks just like him.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
And his real name is George too
And FYI The BoxTroopers are really fun and the crowd lovess, them. Every year they get more and more in their ranks. Last year they included Clones, Chewboxxa, Darth Vader and more
April 6th, 2009 at 07:36 am
Impressive!
April 6th, 2009 at 07:38 am
Pictures, Funny.
Comments, Lame.
April 8th, 2009 at 08:23 am
I think the pizza-box stormtrooper is supposed to be a Lego stormtrooper, in which case, it's not really all that bad.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Your ass is Alderan, AND I'M THE DEATH STAR...!!1!!!!!11
April 8th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Hey, in that second picture it looks like Lucas himself is endorsing the costumes - he's right behind them!!
