Hello There,

My name is Luke. My entire life has been centered around Star Wars. I'm not complaining. I have been making my own costumes and going to Comicon's, and Star Wars themed events for a few years now. I have even convinced family and friends to join me in doing so. I was at the WV Black Bear Baseball game when i ran into some members in my cosplay, where we had a very informative conversation and showed me how to join the forum.

I am very enthusiastic to get a costume started and approved. I look forward to partaking into events and making more friends in this community.
Some Costumes i am interested in making, Kylo Ren, Storm Trooper (ANH), Clone trooper Phase 1, Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars).

I would Like to start with the Kylo Ren and complete that sooner than later so i can start participating.

I cant wait to get started and meet more nerds like me.

May The Force Be With You,
Lukeflip

Welcome Luke... you came to the right place! That Sith Lord and TIE Pilot are still after me.

Welcome Luke. Glad you’ve fallen to the dark side. If you would be interested in going with ANH Storm Trooper, this would be a great opportunity for you to start building.

HI Luke! It was great talking to you at the baseball game. I've talked to our GML, Michel, who will be helping you get started and also assigning you to a costume advisor to get your journey underway.

Kylo has some options, there are 5 different 501st approvable costumes for him.
  • Kylo Ren: Starkiller Base
  • Kylo Ren: Supreme Leader
  • Kylo Ren: The Force Awakens
  • Kylo Ren: The Last Jedi
  • Kylo Ren: The Rise of Skywalker
Here's a link to the CRL specific to the Sith Lord detachment where Kylo's costumes are located: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SLD_CRL

I've always loved The Force Awakens one specifically, but check out the options in the link.

From the 501st perspective (because I don't know about the Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars) costume), the Kylo costumes will have a fair amount of source materials and vendors that can help you completing the costume, whereas the ANH TK and Phase 1 Clone will have a larger community and source materials to help you on that journey.

I do not want that to sway your initial selection, but wanted to share that. Michel and others can chime in on more with regards to that.

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you as a cadet! Looking forward to your build!
