C2E2 2018: Some of the best cosplay, from Star Wars to Stranger Things

Princess Leia and Obi-Wan

There were, of course, a lot of Princess Leias running around — but few found their only hopes. This was also one of the first Leias that I saw who also had the hood up and pinned to her hair. That’s what helped me decide to stop these two and take their photo.

But while there were a lot of regular Princess Leias, there was just one who put  lights under her dress to give the effect that she’s the Leia who sent a message to Obi-Wan Kenobi, the one R2-D2 carries in his memory circuits. There wasn’t really a darker area for me to get the full effect, but the fact that you can see the lights glowing under the strong lights of the convention floor should let you know how much glow she was giving off.

The Force-Wielders

It’s hard for a girl to resist light-up lightsabers, especially when the four represent such different aspects of the Force. A Gray Jedi, Darth Revan, a Sith and even a Jedi Knight all agreed to stand together and be captured in one photo. Talk about bringing balance to the Force!

(These four, if my memory serves, couldn’t quite believe I wanted to take photos of them, but hey guys!)
