Home Made Star Wars Costumes

Fall 1999 Communiversity
presentation on Star Wars Costumes

The Communiversity Costume Class was held on Tuesday, September 21 1999.

The Communiversity set us up in the Kansas City Public Library's conference room.  A few minutes before the class started a Star Wars fan with a heart of gold brought some very valuable SW memoribilia and GAVE IT AWAY ! !   This fan exemplifies the spirit of true appreciation for the movie and the joy that it has brought to so many people.  Some examples of what he brought were: a beautiful Hildebrandt poster from 1977, the Star Wars soundtrack on LP (beautiful shape) and a rare book - the Star Wars Album.

We watched my 40 minute video that features an overview on building several of the costumes and additional information on molding and casting techniques.

I brought several different examples of props, costume pieces and reference books.  Naturally, we had a great time sharing Star Wars costume experiences after the organized presentation.

Thanks to everyone that attended the class.  Stay in touch!
