Fans of cult classics like Star Wars have a long history of dressing up in costume for movie premieres. Whether you’re dressing up as  a classic character like Darth Vader or Han Solo or a new one like Kyle Ren or Rey, you’ll have plenty of fellow costumed friends.

Unfortunately, idiots have ruined things a tad. Many theaters across the country won’t be allowing fake weapons like light sabers or mask’s like Vader’s into theaters when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens later this month.

Whether you are dressing up to be seen before the movie or getting in costume for a Star Wars viewing party with friends, here are some Star Wars costume suggestions.

Princess Leia

Carrie Fisher performance of Princess Leia in the original films  forever made the character a sex symbol. The hair is so iconic that many of the costumes come with wigs because who has time for that?

Just read up on the history of that “Slave Leia” outfit before you go out in public in it.Then when that gets you down, go back to reminise about when Amy Schumer was on the cover of GQ as Princess Leia.

Jabba The Hut

Jabba The Hut isn’t really one of the more popular costumes that fans wear to movie premieres. That’s probably because being movies theater seats aren’t really made for alien creatures the size of a hut. This inflatable Jabba The Hut costume from Amazon isn’t one you’d wear to the theater, but it is rather awesome and can be yours for just $89.98.

Luke Skywalker

Dressing as Luke Skywalker is one of the more traditional Star Wars looks. Even if he is mysteriously absent from The Force Awakens marketing thus far, he’s sure to play a part in the new trilogy. The costume is a fairly simple one, but if you would rather just buy a costume, here’s a good Luke Skywalker costume. Here’s a guide to making your own Luke Skywalker costume.

Jedi

Are you thinking you want to dress as a Jedi warrior? Maybe Anakin Skywalker before, ya know, that thing happened? A Jedi warrior costume is  one of the more elaborate ones done right. If you dress up more that just for the movie premieres, grab this Anakin Skywalker Jedi Knight costume from Jedi-robe.com.
