Look For These Things When Shopping For a Stormtrooper Costume

By Matt Smith


A Stormtrooper costume is one that will always get attention Every person who has seen a Star Wars movie will know automatically which character you are and, if you have the right kinds of accessories, like the blaster, you will make a fabulous impression at any party. There are many ways to acquire a stormtrooper costume, depending on your budget and how authentic you want to appear.

When you buy (or make) a Stormtrooper costume, pay particular attention to the helmet. This is typically the very first thing that people notice about a costume and it will help people understand that you are a Stormtrooper. Obviously, if you can spend lots of money on your costume you should be able to get a really good quality helmet. If you really want to get into your role, you can find plenty of authentic looking replica helmets. If you're making your own costume, you'll have to remember that you don't only need a helmet to cover your head, but your face has to be covered as well. Part of the stormtroopers' sinister appearance is that their entire bodies are covered in armor, so they lose all individuality. Therefore, if you want to be a convincing stormtrooper, you should have a mask or helmet that gives you the right appearance.

If you've learned anything at all about the Star Wars universe, you probably know that there are a few different kinds of Stormtroopers. Yes, most of them dress entirely in white but there are also Shadow Troopers who dress in black.

This is for cloaking purposes, and allows the shadow troopers to operate like ninjas, where they can easily hide or sneak up on their enemies. You might want to choose the Shadow Trooper costume if you like the look because it is an even more sinister character than the ordinary Stormtroopers. The black Stormtrooper costumes usually hang next to or close to the white ones or you might decide to make your own, using the movies or photos you find online as inspiration.

You can wear the Stormtrooper costume on your own or you can coordinate with some friends and make your own Star Wars theme. Stormtroopers are, essentially, soldiers so you could have a whole group of people dressed up this way which can be quite an impressive thing to see. You could have a friend dress up as Darth Vader--the ruler over the Stormtroopers. The Darth Vader costume is also incredibly popular. The "good guy" characters are also popular, costume wise, like Yoda, Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi, so you might think about having some friends dress up that way too. You'll have all sorts of possibilities open to you when you want to get your friends together to play Star Wars characters.

A Stormtrooper costume is a great way to participate in the Star Wars universe. Because just about everybody has seen at least one of these movies, nobody will have to guess who you are trying to be. At the same time, people won't be able to see your face if you're wearing a Stormtrooper helmet, so you should take it off every once in a while when you want to actually have conversations with people.
