Title: Luke Skywalker ROTJ Costume
Post by: Kryptonian Jedi on September 07, 2019, 08:10:15 PM
So at DragonCon 2019 I did my first cosplay and attended my first photoshoot. There are definitely things I would like to upgrade (including myself  :P) but people seemed to enjoy it and I had a good time. The people at the shoot were fun to be around and The Archon V3.1 looked great for it especially in the night time shots. (Don't know what you need to get a blade to shine bright in the daytime.) Here a few pics.

This is me with my wife. Not only do I like this pic because she's awesome but also because the V3.1 looks really good in this one.

I had got asked to be in front and even got to "fight" Vader. Guy playing him was super nice and we basically traded lines from the movie the whole time we were holding our pose. Which is really fun because I got to say things like "I feel the good in you, the conflict." while in-suit.

Hilariously in the group-shots I was beside a guy playing Crunk Jedi lol.

Awesome....have a point.  As for day time shots most people use Day Blades.... Blades that are colored.  They won't really shine but its good for daytime and indoor shots for cosplay.

BTW...I haven't mentioned how I like your name.  A Kryptonian Jedi would be a powerhouse..... well...under a Yellow sun.   Huh.  Makes you wonder what a Kryptonian would be under Tattoine's suns

Hey thanks Darth Tepes! Just showing my love for 2 of my favorite things. I actually hadn't thought about what the 3 suns of Tatooine would do to a Kryptonian. I guess it could possibly overload their cells or maybe charge them up to a point where they would achieve some kind of Super God Rao Saiyan over 9 billion! type mode.  :D

BTW, where is a good place to shop for those Day Blades?
