Every year at San Diego Comic-Con International, it’s easy to spot a stormtrooper from The 501st Legion, a Jedi or Rebel pilot from The Rebel Legion, and the essential Slave Leia. But there are also those fans who go above and beyond to make some of the coolest, original costumes on their own — whether it’s a Death Star dress fit for the runway or a homemade Jawa costume or even an impressive group of Nightsisters.

Here’s some of our favorite Star Wars costumes spotted at this year’s Comic-Con.

    I think the blue Twi’lek was going for Alema Rar with the black suit, not Aayla Secura, but an awesome costume nonetheless. :)

    I like the Green Lantern Fett costume, if only someone would come up with a Darth Maul/Snake Eyes costume.

    Oh, and that IS Alema not Aayla. I’ve talked (online) to that girl about her costume. :) Tsk, tsk, you’d think they’d know Alema Rar by now!
