Twitter user Star Wars 1977-1983 posted this very awesome picture of early cosplayers in their homemade costumes. I would imagine this was taken in 1977 or 1978 and it shows the dedication many already had to George Lucas’s space saga. Keep in mind this was taken way before cosplaying was deemed cool and companies manufactured pre-made costumes. These people made their own costumes out of anything they could get their hands on.
