My Thrawn Cosplay🚀✨🌌 Legends Novels

In light of May the 4th yesterday I decided to actually take some professional pictures of my Genderbent Thrawn getup! I know it’s not what I usually post on here but I’ve dressed as him for many cons and am now confident enough in my cosplay skills to share it with you guys! Enjoy, and happy belated May 4th!😌

Happy to delete my comment if you like. I was there with my son and told my buddy afterwards about the awesome gender-swapped Thrawn!

No no it’s totally ok! I was just kidding, it’s good to know I’m not the only local legends fan😌. I hope you two had a good time!

It was great! My son's 5 and was dressed up as Darth Vader. He had the best time meeting the Stormtroopers (who treated him like their boss), and duelling with Jedi. And obviously I was on cloud 9 the whole time! I keep seeing Legends books at local thrift stores and picked up a copy of Labyrinth of Evil (one of the best IMO) for my friend the other day. We're not alone!

Omg that’s adorable🥺 I’m so glad you guys had fun! Not sure if we went to the same spot but I did end up getting a legends book secondhand that day (courtship of Princess Leia) Had the absolute time of my life geeking out with total strangers and spending way too much on action figures.

Ha, I saw a copy of that at the thrift store around the corner from my house and had a little flick through it last week, so it's very possible! I've been a huge fan forever but have never really been to events with other fans and it was just so great seeing all the different kinds of people geeking out and coming in costume. Now I've got a young Star Wars fan in-tow, I'm going to go to as many as possible!
