This one right here:

None better! I would take this one because nothing struck me as more bad-ass when I was a kid and first saw the movie.

 

[St. Matticus]

BoShek! The galaxy's second coolest smuggler!

Because: Bossk + Elvis = BoShek


Also cool on account of the Windak Pressure suit was used in a H.G. Wells film (with some great Ray Harryhausen stop-motion effects)"First Men on the Moon" and in a Dr. Who episode- "The 10th Planet", plus bossk and some other random Cantina dude walking around with his helmet on...

Without question, the Biker Scout. There is just something extra cool about these guys. The design of their helmets and uniforms set them apart from the rest of the Empire. Sleek and crisp yet rugged and ready to really go to work unlike the regular Stormtroopers who look less able to engage an enemy. Their introductory sequence was so distinctive that it didn't even need adventurous music to artificially create excitement.

Like many people, I was just a kid when all of these movies came out so I was able to express my fandom by collecting the toys and trading cards. When I got older, I learned that Don Post had actually made a replica! I searched high and low and finally found a guy living just a few miles from me who was selling his. #2 of 25 ever made!!! I quickly arranged to obtain a full set of armor. I loved seeing the Biker Scouts and now I got to actually BE one!

I now have two more Biker Scout masks on order from eFX which will join my collection in an esteemed place.

I always enjoy picking up Tricia Biggar's book, Dressing a Galaxy, to look upon my favorite costumes so to be able to add Star Wars Costumes to the library to sit alongside the growing collection will be nothing short of perfect.

Well, I'm gonna say Jedi Luke because the rules say I have to pick one and eventually I had to just choose.

No, but really I love the simple elegance, particularly the version later in the film once he ditches the tabards. In a weird way, it seems iconic and incredibly evocative because of its simplicity.The fitted, all black outfit with a single glove is so simple and functional, but at the same time so incredibly specific and memorable. I love it even more with the slight accent of the folded down chest panel.

For me, far and away its Boushh.

I remember being 10, my dad taking me to my second Star Wars movie (sadly I didnt get to see SW in a theater) Return of the Jedi.
All the hairs on my arm standing up when iconic Williams theme strikes up, you see the desserted planet, they show Jabba and then this new character comes walking in with Chewbacca. I was intrigued.

I was like "WOW" whose this new guy?! Whats he going to do? Blow stuff up? Save Han? and then....the reveal.
Every young boys favorite crush, its Leia! Mannnnnnn, how rad was that, the girl of your dreams in armor and an amazing looking helmet too!

It's my fave, so when my wife made Boushh, I was more than happy to help her!

Always loved the Emperor's Guard costume. The red was so different compared to the ordinary white of the stormtroopers.

 

[franz bolo]

Boba Fett. Best costume in the series. Even Lando knows it.

 

[Jdoe7]

Leia's Hoth costume has always been my favorite. The combination of the grey boots, with the white jumpsuit and vest are both simple, but still elegant enough for a princess. It also looks very warm, which I am a fan of winter clothing!

 

[Tommyarts]

Boba fett for the win!!

 

[themacalu]

I've always loved the stormtrooper armor, especially the helmet with the iconic "frown", which gave TKs both a menacing and funny look. It also has that timeless feel to it.

 

[Idaho Jones]

The Tusken Raider - Dirty, mean and primal

 

[Jeff Angel]

The Jedi!!!!

 

[harmfulAdam]

The scout troopers have always been my favorite 'trooper variation. Might have been from the awesome scenes between Luke/Leia/Ewoks.

 

[jedimasterboy]

I prefer Darth Vader, specifically the Ep. VI varient of the costume. This is where Anakin is starting to break out of the Vader shell. Another thing about this costume is the lightsaber that he uses has been one of my favorite saber designs since I found out there were different versions of the saber, let alone the costume.

 

[Dark Menace]

I would have to say Darth Vader in A New Hope. When I was a kid and I first saw him I was scare to death but at the same time loving the character and when passing by the costume shop near my place they had the helmet on display made me dream that one of these day when I grow up I will have a Darth Vader costume. I'm still dreaming to this day so maybe one day !

 

[nibenninja]

Has to be the classic X-Wing pilot uniform, it contrasts with the black and white of the empire with the bright colours, and to me the open faced helmet with their unique designs, show they are real people within the Rebel starfighters, unlike the always uniformed pilots of the Imperial Military

 

[Phr4gG3r]

The Scout trooper for its more humanised appearance of the Storm Trooper (a close second). The outfit still fits greatly with the simplistic design of most of the empire and its references to european fascist states and their uniforms and mass marches where the simplicity and cleanness is enhanced by the multitude of soldiers. At the same time the Scout trooper fits the job of small groups capable of moving around the forest, looking a bit more agile than the storm trooper outfit

 

[TrooperPX]

It would have to be Willrow Hood.



What other character had the power to bring a Dolly Madison ice cream maker into hundreds
of homes, three decades after it was discontinued by Rival? :cool Willrow, that's who.

Take that, Empire!

 

[Vanessa Garcia]

For me, Ceremonial Leia, to give this a variation... But I like every single one of her suits.

 

[Fossey19]

This is my favorite costume because I was a kid when RoTJ came out and I fell for Carrie Fisher. There are so many other costumes from the OT I love as well though.
