Help me choose a space themed costume!

[Wryel]

Alright, the theme is space but we all know that means Star Wars. This site is pretty good and means I don't have to make something (Google Bender cosutme and you'll see how much work is involved). I found a site that does some pretty decent costumes at not too high prices (apart from the £800 Stormtrooper costume). As this is a special event for me I'm willing to spend the cash though. I've narrowed it down to:

Boba Fett (http://www.jedi-robe.com/94,star_wars_costumes___adult.boba_fett_costumes.h tml)
Stormtrooper (http://www.jedi-robe.com/105,1082,star_wars_costumes___adult.stormtrooper_c ostumes.Star_Wars_Licenced_Costume_Deluxe_Adult_St ormtrooper.html)
Ben (http://www.jedi-robe.com/88,645,star_wars_costumes___adult.obi_wan_kenobi_c ostumes.__Star_Wars_Obi_Wan_Kenobi_Costume___Tunic _with_Replica_LIGHT_BROWN_Jedi_Robe_and_Leather_Be lt.html) +light saber (http://www.jedi-robe.com/112,1041,star_wars_lightsabers.Star_Wars_Obi_Wan_K enobi_Clone_Wars_Force_Action_Lightsaber___Blue___ Light___Sound___Trigger___NEW.html) (Expensive!)

I think I'm leaning toward the Stormtrooper due to price/quality balance but I'm not sure. What do people think?

[leowyatt]

If it's a party are you not liable to find about 40 other people who all thought 'Star Wars'? :p

Don't turn up but telle everyone you did and say you were an empty space.

Bad-um-tish!

[Glaucus]

yeah do something non star wars as everyone will do that. Become a grey alien or something.

Failing that you want the red emperor royal guards.

or even better if you can find it a shadow guard

Well its a festival and its only the people I'm going with that have chosen this theme, but yeah I suppose its not the most original idea.

Cover your entire body in black clothes, coal up your face and limbs and attach sparkly stars all over yourself.

Or dress up as a Hoover. ;)

You won't like what I've chosen but it will look very good. I might even get round to posting some pictures when my hair is the right length....
