Scary Halloween Masks

If you enjoy the Star Wars movies and stories, you probably want to dress up like one of the characters from the franchise and the Stormtrooper is always a fun choice. Stormtroopers aren’t exactly the most well thought of characters from Star Wars…after all, they’re impressively scary bad guys outfitted in extreme armor and carrying weapons. This can make them fun character costume choices and in this article we will help you find some ideas for tracking down the best Stormtrooper costumes and accessories.

No matter what costume you want to plan, details are key to making it look realistic. When you want to dress up as a Stormtrooper, the boots are one important feature that shouldn’t be overlooked. These are, after all, loyal and tireless soldiers of the Empire, who march on all kinds of terrains and they must have solid footwear. A costume that you buy from a shop probably will come with boots but if you want to build your own, you need to find a super good pair. Your boots need to be white and tall and the white needs to be the same white that the Stormtroopers armor is made of. Your tall white boots do not need to cost lots of money but they ought to blend in nicely with the rest of your costume.

One very important accessory for your Stormtrooper costume is the blaster. The blaster is the deadly weapon used by the Stormtroopers to strike fear into their enemies and they look quite a lot like laser guns. You can find many blasters for sale, and some are good replicas of the ones seen in the films. Like with any Star Wars accessory, if you want your blaster to look authentic, it will probably be expensive. Sure you can find less expensive costumes that have blasters in their packaging but these tend to look like toys, not weapons. If possible, try to get a blaster that lights up and makes sounds when you fire it, as this is sure to attract plenty of attention.

You can enhance the effectiveness of any costume by playing out your role in a way that makes it seem you really are the character. When you want to learn more about the Stormtroopers, you can watch the Star Wars movies, which is where they mostly appear.

You want to get the appearance down as accurately as possible, but you should also pay attention to the way they walk and move around as well. This becomes even more fun if you’ve got a partner or group of friends who will all dress up like Stormtroopers with you so that you can create the appearance of an entire unit of soldiers. If you portray a stormtrooper in an authentic manner, people may actually get nervous if you point your blaster at them!

The Star Wars franchise is not showing any signs of slowing down or fading away; the popularity of the costumes from these movies is still quite large. Some people like to play the more heroic characters from the films, but someone has to play the part of the villains, and the stormtroopers have an important role in the stories. So use these hints to help you find a Stormtrooper costume when you need to dress up for something.
