The first Star Wars film was released in 1977. Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, Carrie Fisher and James Earl Jones, the subsequent films which were released after Episode IV: A New Hope continues to inspire fancy dress costumes. As further sequels are due for release from 2015 onwards, there will be many more inspirations. When looking for fancy dress costume ideas that have a Star Wars edge, here are five of the best:
Darth Vader
One of the scariest movie characters of all time, Darth Vader not only looks menacing but his voice is perfect for his costume. As soon as someone wears a Darth Vader costume, there will be no mistaking who they are. A fancy dress retailer might have this particular costume in a variety of sizes. So, a father and their son or daughter could go to a party dressed as Darth Vader.

Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker appeared in the original Star Wars trilogy. With his blonde hair and gun, a fancy dress retailer might have many types of costumes that are associated with this character. In Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker wears a black jedi costume because he turns to the dark side of the Force – a fancy dress retailer can also have this particular costume in their catalogue.

Princess Leia
As with Luke Skywalker, there are many costumes which Princess Leia wears. Along with a white dress, Princess Leia also dons a gold bikini when she is enslaved by Jabba the Hutt. Either of these fancy dress costume ideas is perfect for a woman. A stag do could have a Star Wars theme where a groom-to-be has to choose a Princess Leia costume.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
One of only a handful of characters that appeared in all Star Wars films, Obi-Wan Kenobi was played by Alec Guinness in the original trilogy and then by Ewan McGregor in the latest trilogy. With his long brown cloak and beard, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a wise Jedi. A fancy dress retailer might include a lightsaber and a brown cloak for their costumes.
Yoda
The wisest Jedi of all time, Yoda is one of the most well-loved Star Wars fancy dress characters of the entire saga. The way Yoda speaks is something which people can have a lot of fun replicating at a fancy dress party. To look like Yoda, buy many tubes of green body and face paint and apply liberally. Just like with Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, an entire Yoda costume might be purchasable. Although it might not be provided, a lightsaber could be included as an accessory along with the other parts to a Yoda costume, such as a white cloak. To complete this popular Star Wars costume, buy a bald cap or green ears. By choosing a fancy dress retailer that has all of the accessories which are required to recreate a Yoda costume, no other expense accrues. Therefore, the cost of purchasing a Yoda costume is all that’s required and not a penny more.
