Halloween is only a few days away! In addition to candies, decorating the house, and watching horror movies, it is also a time when you celebrate your favorite fandom by dressing as your favorite character. However, costumes can get pricey and may be hard to find if your character is not “in” right now (remember the time when Elsa costumes filled every store?). You may not possess the skills or the sewing machine to make a movie-accurate costume. But fret not; here are some fairly simple Star Wars Halloween costume ideas that will not break the bank, and most importantly, require zero sewing skills. 

7. Luke Skywalker (Return of the Jedi)

  • Black long-sleeved shirt

  • Black pants

  • ONE black glove

Optional: Black knee-high boots

Probably one of the easiest and quickest costumes you can throw together from what you can find in your closet. Add a green lightsaber to complete the look.

Just remember, the glove goes on the RIGHT hand.

  • Black vest

  • White or beige long-sleeve shirt

  • Navy pants

Optional: Black knee-high boots

Now you too can be our favorite scoundrel! Don’t forget to perfect the iconic smirk in the mirror before heading out. Dress your dog up as Chewbacca, and the two of you can roam the galaxy/neighborhood as the original trilogy’s dynamic duo. 

5. Princess Leia (A New Hope)

  • White long-sleeve dress

  • Silver or white color belt

Maybe you can’t quite pull off Princess Leia’s slave outfit from Return of the Jedi, but her outfit from A New Hope is quite doable. The hardest part would be putting your hair in the iconic cinnamon buns. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope. 

4. Jyn Erso

  • Brown vest

  • Black or dark grey long-sleeve shirt

  • Dark grey pants

Optional: Grey scarf

Not many people may recognize you, but you will definitely be a hit among fellow Star Wars fans. Our reluctant Rebel plays an important role in bringing down the Empire, after all. If you have time, you can also make Death Star plans to hand out to Princess Leia cosplayers you see. 

3. Rey

  • Grey or beige tank top or short-sleeve shirt

  • Grey leggings or cropped pants

  • White or beige fabric for arms

  • Brown belt

  • Long beige scarf

Like our scavenger, you too can easily scavenge the parts to make a Rey costume. The trick is in how you drape the scarf and secure it down with a belt. There is also flexibility in the color of the fabrics, as Rey’s costumes in the movies range from light beige to dark grey. Add a mop/broom handle for her quarterstaff.

2. Cobb Vanth

  • Maroon long-sleeve shirt

  • Brown belt

  • Long brown pants

  • Red scrap fabric or scarf

Optional: Brown boots

Mandalorian armor might be a little hard to make/find, but it is not hard to dress as Marshal Cobb Vanth. Don’t forget to complete your look with a swagger.

Honorary Mention: DisneyBound

The idea of “DisneyBounding” stems from Disneyland’s rule that guests over the age of 14 may not wear costumes inside the theme parks. Because of this, older Disney fans have to come up with a different way of expressing their love for their favorite Disney characters.

DisneyBound is simply taking color schemes and elements from the character and applying them to your everyday clothes. For example, making and wearing the Togruta head-tails is a bit tedious (not to mention cumbersome to wear for long periods of time) for your Ahsoka costume. On the other hand, you can easily pair an orange top with blue jeans or a blue scarf with a maroon dress. The sky is the limit!

1. Force Ghost

  • Brown bathrobe

  • Beige shirt

  • Blue tulle

Optional: Knee-high boots

The brown bathrobe has been a staple for many Jedi costumes over the years, but now, you can stand out from the other Jedi this Halloween! All you need is some light blue tulle that covers you from head to toe. Be one of the few who achieve the rare feat of becoming a Force ghost.
