Where and When to Join the Fun

Mark your calendars, space adventurers! The Galactic Costume Contest will take place on October 26th at the Bespin Arena, located on the third floor of the Cloud City Cantina. If you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to dust off your favorite outfits or try out a new look, this is it! Whether you’re planning to attend or just cheer from the audience, the Bespin Arena will be buzzing with excitement. Be sure to check your time zone, so you don’t miss a second of the action.

The Galactic Costume Contest: Categories and Creativity

The contest is split into three exciting categories, offering something for every kind of costumed participant:

• Star Wars Costumes: If your heart beats to the sound of a lightsaber, this category is for you! Pay homage to your favorite Star Wars character, from Darth Vader to Ahsoka Tano, or create a totally new character inspired by the galaxy far, far away.
• Other Universes: For those who love a good crossover, this category invites you to bring characters from other sci-fi, fantasy, or comic book universes into the Star Wars mix. Ever wondered what Superman would look like battling Jabba the Hutt? Or how Doctor Who might fare in Mos Eisley? Here’s your chance!
• General Costumes: Not into sci-fi? No problem! This category is for creative costumes of all kinds. Whether you want to dress as a spooky specter, a futuristic warrior, or just your favorite alien species, anything goes!

Each category will be called out separately, allowing participants to strut their stuff across the arena stage. It’s a costume catwalk in space, where anything can happen!

The Prizes: A Galaxy of Rewards

Of course, no contest is complete without some stellar prizes. Each category winner will receive a special selection of six items for their in-game wardrobe. While the contents of these mysterious bags are under wraps, there’s plenty of speculation about what might be inside. Here are some of the rumored items that might make your wardrobe pop:

• Bespin Jacket: Perfect for those chilly nights on Cloud City.
• Nightsister Clothing: Tap into your dark side with these unique robes.
• Adventurer Jumpsuit: A must-have for those who live on the edge of the galaxy.
• GMF Jacket: Show off your Galactic Moon Festival spirit in style.
• Special Stated Necklace: Add a little bling to your look.
• New Belt: Because every intergalactic explorer needs a stylish place to keep their thermal detonators.

But that’s not all! From the three category winners, the judges will select an overall champion. The grand prize includes a collection item of your choice, a hefty 2,000 GMF coins, and a shiny new title that will have everyone in the galaxy talking.

Group Entries: Share the Fun

Got a couple of friends who want to join in on the fun? While solo entries are preferred, the Galactic Costume Contest also allows small groups of up to three to participate as a single entry. It’s a great opportunity to team up with your fellow adventurers and create a coordinated theme. Just keep in mind, if your group wins, you’ll need to divvy up the rewards among yourselves. But hey, the bragging rights are worth it, right?

Tips for Making a Stellar Costume

If you’re planning to enter, you might be wondering how to make your costume stand out. Here are some fun tips to give you the edge:

• Be Original: While classic Star Wars characters are always a hit, don’t be afraid to add your own twist. Maybe a Sith Lord Ewok? The more creative, the better!
• Mix and Match: Use items from different sets to create a look that’s uniquely yours. Combining pieces from Nightsister and Mandalorian gear could make you the talk of the cantina.
• Think Outside the Galaxy: For the “Other Universes” category, the sky’s the limit! Ever imagined Gandalf wielding a lightsaber? Go wild with those crossovers.
• Practice Your Walk: Strutting across the Bespin Arena stage is all about confidence. Channel your inner Han Solo swagger or the graceful poise of Princess Leia.

Get Ready for the Fun: What to Expect at the Event

The Galactic Costume Contest isn’t just about the competition; it’s a chance for the entire SWG Legends community to come together and celebrate creativity. The atmosphere is set to be filled with fun and friendly banter, as audience members cheer on their favorite costumed characters. It’s not every day you see a stormtrooper shaking hands with Gollum, so expect plenty of surprises and laughter along the way.
