One time at a con, I walked past a guy dressed as Darth Vader, and I swear he made eye contact through the helmet—I froze like I was about to get Force choked. Ever since, I’ve been kinda obsessed with great Star Wars cosplay. I’ve seen some that made me laugh, some that gave me chills, and a few that made me go, “Yep, that’s canon now.”

1. Royal Canadian Mounted Mandalorian
Credit: u/GonnaGoFat
The whole outfit was wild—in the best way. Imagine a Mountie with beskar. The fur lining looked like it came straight off a tauntaun, and the whole vibe screamed “This is the Weh, eh?” I started calling them Canadalorians in my head, but honestly, “Mountylorian” or even “Moothasaur skull” totally works too. I don’t know if they were hunting bounties or geese, but either way—elbows up, bud. This is the way, 100%.
2. Kanan Jarrus, Post-Malachor Mood

I spotted this Kanan Jarrus cosplay and immediately slowed down—it had that energy. The visor was made from a modded motorcycle helmet, and he moved like the world was a little harder to see through. It was quiet, steady, Jedi-core. Just like how Kanan was after the fall: more intuition, less flash.
Nothing about it was overdone, and that’s what made it hit harder. The stance, the beard, the small details all came together like he just stepped out of Rebels and had unfinished business. Total respect.
3. Anakin, Right Before the Galaxy Burned

Okay, this Anakin cosplay? It was giving serious Mustafar pre-duel energy. The hair, the layered robes, that locked-in scowl—it was dead-on Revenge of the Sith. Like, if you told me Hayden Christensen moonlighted at cons, I’d believe you.
And depending on the lighting, there was this moment where I swore I saw a little Kylo in there too. The vibes crossed generations. Grandpa Anakin, grandson Ben. Cerakin, if you will. 10/10 Force intensity.
4. The Mandalorian, But Make It Studio-Grade
Credit: u/another_derek
This Din Djarin setup wasn’t just cosplay—it looked like it came straight out of a Lucasfilm storage unit. The paint? Legit Alumaluster. The helmet? Resin-cast perfection. Even the gloves had voice lines. I didn’t want to stare, but come on, it was impossible not to.
There were hidden speakers, high-gloss everything, and just enough weathering to keep it grounded. The guy didn’t look like he was playing Mando—he looked like he was Mando, laying low between bounties. If Pedro Pascal ever retires, we’re covered.
5. Frog Lady With Eggs and Attitude

Okay so I thought I was ready for anything, and then Frog Lady showed up holding a wrinkled sign with Baby Yoda’s face on it like she was searching for him at a galactic bus stop. The mix of dead seriousness and total chaos? Perfect. The hand-drawn Grogu? Adorable. The whole thing? Hilarious and on point.
But don’t let the pink head and wide-eyed look fool you—this build had layers. Textured robes, webbed fingers, the posture—everything sold it. She looked like she’d just crossed an ice cave, lost half her eggs to spiders, and was now politely asking for directions to the nearest Jedi. Peak side-character energy, and honestly, I’m obsessed.
6. Luke Skywalker: Jedi Drip Era
Credit: u/lovinglyme91
This Luke cosplay had serious Return of the Jedi energy. All black everything, octagonal belt, cloak flowing like he was about to take down Jabba again. Hair? Nailed. Expression? That calm, focused Jedi stare that says, “I’ve seen things.”
What got me was how clean the whole look was without being boring. It walked that line between classic and cool without overdoing it. Felt like Endor Luke with just a little extra confidence. If I didn’t know better, I’d say Mark Hamill time-traveled in for a quick flex.
7. Twi’lek Dancer, Ready for Spotlight
Credit: u/angel_of_azarath
This one just looked smooth. The lekku had that perfect shape and flow—none of that clunky, stiff stuff. Instead of full body paint, they used colored tights, which actually worked way better under con lights and made cleanup way easier.
Everything about this was polished but still fun. From the shimmer to the poses, it didn’t feel like cosplay—it felt like someone hit pause on a scene from Jabba’s palace. Not gonna lie, I wanted to clap.
8. Captain Rex, But Make It Personal
Credit: u/mirholley
I’ve seen some Rex cosplays before, but this one hit different—it was made by someone’s dad, and the heart behind it showed. The armor was spot-on, the bald cap and beard combo worked way better than I expected, and the whole thing gave off that seasoned-vet energy.
He looked like he had just stepped off the Ghost and was about to shout “For the Republic!” Made me emotional in the best way. Cool cosplay, cooler story behind it.
9. Asajj Ventress, Straight-Up Cinematic
Credit: u/KyloRenClub
This one was so good I did a double take. The makeup? Sculpted to perfection. The costume? Layered and textured like it came off a live-action set. But here’s the wild part—they actually shaved their head. No wig. No bald cap. Just commitment.
They shot photos by a foggy coast, and it worked way too well. Looked like Ventress was about to duel someone for real. Total assassin energy—intense, clean, and just scary enough to make you keep your distance.
10. The Mandalorian… Plus One Missing Green Baby
Credit: u/star_nacho
So this Mandalorian build was already cool on its own—EVA foam armor painted with a sock (yes, seriously), silver finish, some weathering, and then boom—a helmet finally added. The shine was legit, and the whole look gave off early-season Din vibes.
But what really sold it was the caption: “now gotta acquire green baby at all costs.” The mission was clear. Whether that meant a plush, a prop, or straight-up painting a melon green—I respected the determination. This is the way. And possibly a felony.
11. Ahsoka Tano, Warrior Mode
Credit: u/Daisy_Cosplay
The Ahsoka look here was crisp. Everything from the montrals to the face markings to the dual lightsabers screamed Clone Wars-era Ahsoka. There was grace, there was strength, and it all came together like she’d just stepped off a Star Destroyer mid-duel.
What I loved most? The way it captured her growth. She wasn’t a Padawan anymore—this was the battle-hardened version who survived, led, and kept her head held high. Real respect to the craft and the character.
12. Older Han and Leia, Still Got It
Credit: u/elee0228
This cosplay hit me right in the nostalgia. Not just because it looked great (it really did), but because it told a story. The jacket, the hair, the calm confidence—Han looked tired, in a good way. Leia had that leader’s presence without needing to say a word.
Together, they felt like the version of these two that lived through love, war, and everything in between. No flash, just two legends showing up and holding it down. Simple, strong, and unforgettable.
13. Fallen Bastila Shan, No Redemption Needed
Credit: u/TheNeonConduit
Now this was a twist. Dark-side Bastila doesn’t get nearly enough cosplay love, but this version? Fire. The armor was sleek, the yellow saber glowed just right, and the pose said, “You can’t save me, and I’m fine with that.”
There was emotion baked into every part of it. You could almost hear the KOTOR music playing in the background. Honestly, it wasn’t just a costume—it was a whole vibe. And it worked.
14. Hand-Sewn Jedi Robes, Straight From the Temple
Credit: u/Titand120
Sometimes, simple hits the hardest. This Jedi cosplay wasn’t flashy, but the craftsmanship spoke for itself. Hand-sewn tunic, natural colors, soft layers that moved just right—felt like it belonged in the halls of the Jedi Temple, no question.
Paired with a leather belt and the right boots, it gave off that peaceful, confident Jedi energy. It didn’t need armor or a saber to feel strong. Sometimes, calm presence is enough.
15. Clone Wars Obi-Wan, Just Needs the Beard
Credit: u/EmceeMonte_CosplayDJ
This one nailed the Clone Wars look almost perfectly. The white and gold armor was clean, the saber stance was solid, and it looked like a still from the animated series. If you slapped a filter on it, I bet you could fool a few people.
Only thing missing? The beard. And look, I get it—growing one takes time. But that Kenobi beard is kind of iconic. Add that, and this cosplay becomes elite tier. Still, even without it, the build was solid and the vibes were strong.
16. Boba Fett Arrives
Credit: u/Mads_five
This Boba cosplay was a full-on project. Built entirely out of EVA foam, painted and weathered by hand, and packed with screen-accurate detail—it looked ready to walk into Jabba’s palace and take over.
The battle damage was clean, the color layering was pro, and the jetpack? Absolute cherry on top. Apparently, it’s not even that uncomfortable to wear—just hot. But honestly, with how good it turned out, I’d sweat through it too.
17. Order 66, But Make It Drive-Thru
Credit: u/Ksrugi
This one broke my brain in the best way. It was literally just a tray with a burger, no drink or fries, labeled “Order 66.” And somehow, it worked. It was dumb. It was brilliant. It was the exact kind of cosplay joke I didn’t know I needed.
There were even condiments—Sith sauce, mayo, ketchup. It was all too much, in the best way. Bonus points if someone called out “Execute Order 66” when they picked it up.
18. Commander Thorn, Ready to Fall in Style
Credit: Reddit
Red armor. Giant blaster. Total presence. This Commander Thorn cosplay brought one of the most underrated clones to life, and he looked like he was ready to yell “For the Republic!” while holding the line.
Everything about it felt animated but real—like he walked straight out of a Clone Wars battle scene. The pauldron, the detail, the stance? Intimidating in all the right ways. Gone too soon, but not forgotten.
19. General Grievous, Cape Tricks and All
Credit: u/etymologynerd
Now this was next-level. The person inside the cape operated a full Grievous puppet suit above them, complete with moving limbs, tall build, and glowing eyes. From a distance, you’d swear it was CGI.
The tech behind it was crazy. Feet synced to movement, eyes hidden behind the mouth, shoulder arms collapsing—it was all built with purpose. And yeah, someone did walk up and say “Hello there.” They got “General Kenobi” back instantly.
20. Darth Vader, Rogue One Edition
Credit: u/rt1026
This Vader cosplay didn’t mess around. Red lenses, high-gloss armor, dramatic cape, and the most menacing two-finger Force choke I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t just a Rogue One look—it was that hallway scene in cosplay form.
The details were tight—repainted shin guards, working chest box lights, and a Black Series helmet with just the right tweaks. He didn’t even have to say a word. You could feel the power from across the room.
