Homemade Star Wars Costumes From The 1970s
Just because Star Wars cosplay is extremely popular today doesn't mean people weren't dressing up like their favorite characters when only one or two of the films had been released.
Star Wars has been big from day one, especially as Halloween costume inspiration, and every kid with space in their head and a bunch of tinfoil was trying to make their own R2 unit.
Check out all the groovy getups in this gallery of retro photos and you'll discover that Star Wars cosplay has come a long, long way since the good old days!

That's one scary C3P0. This was an era when costumes were truly home-made, and not just bought.

Great pics. I also think it would be fun to see a photo collection of homemade Star Wars costumes from the 1870s.
