Any other Star Wars fans? (esp. those who dress the part)

I'm working on a get-up for a "retro future" themed art show this week. I'm an Alliance somebody with a soft spot for Endor.

I'm just curious if anybody out here in eplaya land has experience making a blaster, or getting the Endor cammo right...

Or any other fun stories pertaining to Star Wars' costumes...

I'm too geeky for starwars.

Face it, you were born to play a Wookie.

I wore a white karategi and a Swedish bandolier at my 1st burn. No pics, sorry.

Indeed, generic SW garb could be suited to the high deserts of Tatooine.

I got my Darth Vader helmet and voicechanger mask. I think I'll just wear black clothes instead of my leather. I love the heavy breathing sound the voicebox makes. Probably led lights on a staff or lightsaber for safety.

Permission to brag?

I won a costume contest I didn't know they were having! I got a gift certificate to the place I got the jacket - I bought it for Burning Man.

nerdy details

Very cool!

You know, among dyed-in-the wool nerds, BM cred puts you near the top of the heap.

Most nerds I know, go into shivering fits when they think about the desert.

Well, I don't really consider myself a nerd - I don't even have internet at home.

I have been faintly suprised, by how fewish geeky types are burners, too - though I do know quite a few. They're regional burners, though.

My next project is collecting the cardboard boxes our veteran flag cases come in to make a 20-sided die...

'xactly. Now I know. Knowing is half the battle, red and blue lasers, etc.

Episode 1: 48 hours to release, I was a Jr. in college and I'd rescheduled all my finals so I could sit in line (had to bribe prof's with free tickets.)

Nope, I've never dresssed as Obi-Wan or any other Star Wars (tm) charecter.

If there's a SW camp at BM, I'll GLADLY defect from the fire twirlers, they're awesome people but nothing beats Star Wars nerds.

C.f.M. · Post by **C.f.M.** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 6:47 am

Hahahaha, I dressed like a Tatooine village woman for the midnight release, and gave my friend my Leia get-up. SHE got on the news, the bitch.

I don't really count 1-3 as movies, much less part of Star Wars.

Which is why Mike's reviews are so great. It's like sweet, sweet revenge for the hours of my life I gave that crap.

Back in December I got a Vader helmet @ a thrift store and had some fun with it.

Except other Star Wars nerds, if that's what they're into...

actually we were at 10:00, but your behavior was duly noted and recorded for future persecution.

I'm more of a Chewie girl, myself - I actually had a sex dream about Peter Mayhew, once.

I'd take one of these guys, too.

Not too tasty, either, as bitter and soured as I am.
