Thinking about buying a Star Wars costume? Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
A long, long time ago (the 1970s), the movie Star Wars was released, and an incredible fandom was born. And much like the actual universe, enthusiasm for the Star Wars universe keeps on expanding. For the last decade, Star Wars fans have celebrated the fourth of May — AKA May the Fourth — a cheeky pun on the famous Star Wars saying 'may the force be with you'.
However, 2020 is a year like no other in living memory. Most of humanity is hunkered down in their homes, unable to venture out into the world. It is now impossible to celebrate traditional May The Fourth activities, like marathon movie sessions at the cinema, light saber dueling tournaments, or Tattoine cantina-themed parties.
But with a little imagination (and the right costumes), May the Fourth can feel just as Star Wars-y as ever. Why, you're not trapped at home! You're on board the Millennium Falcon, enduring an enormously long hyperspace voyage.
At Blossom Costumes, we stock an enormous range if different Star Wars outfits, costumes, and accessories. Whether you're looking for an outfit to fit a kid, adult, or need something in plus size, we've got you covered.
Can't leave your house? Then wear these delightful costumes around the home
With everybody trapped at home, tolerance for uncomfortable garments has hit an all time low. Nobody has to look impressive anymore. Suits and tight jeans are out. Track pants and activewear are the next big thing.
Luckily, Jedi costumes are basically just pajamas and dressing gowns. So, while you're binge watching the Star Wars movies back to back on May the Fourth, you can dress up in a way that is both authentic and comfortable. You'll love the Deluxe Master Warrior Cloak Suit Costume.
It's just as well, because uncomfortable clothes are the path to the dark side. Uncomfortable clothes lead to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Working remotely? Surprise your coworkers with a Star Wars costume
In 2020, many people are working from home. Since May The Fourth falls on a Monday this year (and because it is not yet legally recognised as a public holiday) this allows you to appear as a Star Wars character in the virtual office. It's sure to get people talking.
"Who's that in the Google Hangout? Is it a space princess? No, it's just Janet from Accounts, looking fantastic in the Galactic Princess Leia Costume Wig."
We stock new character costumes for a new generation of Star Wars fans
Ever since Disney took over the Star Wars franchise, the series has exploded with fantastical new characters. Take May The Fourth to bold new places, and demonstrate what a super fan you are, with some of these brand new costume ideas.
Buying a costume for a youngling? Go for a Star Wars Episode 9 themed costume
If you're shopping for a children's Star Wars costume, forget about the stars of movies past, like Han Solo and Darth Vader. The kids these days are all about the new stars, like Rey, Kylo Ren, Maz Kanata, Snap Wexley, Rose Tico, and other household names which are sure to stand the test of time.
We stock many great choices, like the deluxe Rey Jakku Star Wars outfit for tweens, and the Kylo Ren costume for boys.
And don't forget The Mandalorian!
In late 2019, a new grown-up and mature Star Wars television series was released on Disney+. The Mandalorian, which stars alternative favourites like Bill Burr, Taika Waititi, Werner Herzog and Richard Ayoade, has won a slew of enthusiastic new fans. Why not dress up like everybody's favourite Mandalorian bounty hunter, Boba Fett? We can supply a Mandalorian costume for men, women, and children.
Something for the adults: explore your very own 'Rule of Two' with these racy costumes
You can't leave the house this May The Fourth, but with these saucy dress ups, you won't even mind. For example, you could fulfil your Star Wars fantasy with this Princess Leia costume. Alternately, dress up like Padme Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, and imagine you're rolling around together in the lush fields of Naboo.
