Suggestions For Finding the Right Stormtrooper Costume

By Pinky Arnisola


There are lots of choices for Star Wars costumes, the Stormtrooper is just one of them. Ever since the first film came out in the 1970s, it's been a mainstay of popular culture, and different characters have their fans. Stormtroopers, while villains in the movies, can be great for costumes, with their impressive body armor, helmets and blasters. Here are some of the ways that you can come up with a really good Stormtrooper costume.

If you want to add some extra realism and scariness to your Stormtrooper costume, you should get a voice changer that will help you sound like them as well as look like them. The units are easily found on the Internet; you can usually even find them used on eBay. If any of the stores in your area sell Star Wars novelty or related things, you might be able to find one there. These are voice amplifiers that you mount inside of your Stormtrooper helmet so that you can sound really authentic.

The settings can be adjusted so you might need to practice with it a few times in order to get the sound right. It will really surprise your friends when they realize that you don't just look like a Stormtrooper, you sound like a Stormtrooper too! You have many choices when it comes to searching for a stormtrooper costume. There are many costume shops, often found in shopping malls, that sell reasonably priced costumes of all kinds. There are also costume shops that specialize in higher cost costumes that cater to films and theaters where you can find costumes that are more authentic looking. There are also a wide selection of costumes to be found online. Aside from well known retail sites like Amazon, you can find more specialized sites that sell costumes. eBay and other auction sites out there can be great sources of used costumes and that can be a fantastic way to save money on higher end costumes. If you want your own Stormtrooper costume, you should also check out the websites that sell Star Wars accessories.

You can wear the Stormtrooper costume on your own or you can coordinate with some friends and make your own Star Wars theme. Because Stormtroopers are soldiers, you can work with a big group to play the role and have fun making a big entrance. Someone could also play Darth Vader, who is the master whom the stormtroopers serve. Lots of people dress up as Darth Vader too. You might also have some people dress up as the "good" people like Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi or even Yoda. There are a lot of options when you want to get people together to be the Star Wars characters.

Wearing a Stormtrooper costume can be a great way to have fun in the always fun Star Wars phenomenon. Since just about everyone has seen at least one of the movies in the franchise, nobody will have any questions about who you are supposed to be dressed up as. At the same time, it will be hard to see your face if you're wearing a stormtrooper helmet, so you may have to pull it off every so often if you want to converse with anyone.
