Best Star Wars Halloween Costumes

This costume from The Force Awakens is a total must-have for any young Star Wars fan who wants to emulate the scrappy scavenger heroine. It includes Rey’s signature woven top with the wrapped scarf, her desert-ready pants, arm sleeves, boot covers, and a faux leather belt with an attached side bag, accurately recreating her Jakku look.

It also feels like the costume was designed to balance screen accuracy and playtime functionality, so kids can run around feeling like the real Rey. The top fastens up easily with velcro, while the pants have an elastic waist so they’re comfy to wear. Also, the added arm warmers and wrist cuff? Totally nailing Rey’s style!

This one’s so high-quality, it’ll make you feel like royalty! Seriously, this dress is both soft and meticulously crafted to resemble one of the original trilogy’s most iconic outfits, Princess Leia’s white dress from the original Star Wars movie. Leia is a paradoxical character, but in a good way.

She’s such a serious and powerful warrior that it’s tempting to say the “princess” element of her feels out of place, but it never really does. Whenever she enters her softer, more diplomatic mode, it always seems to make perfect sense. Her character has the depth it needs to carry both of those aspects of her, and, with this costume, now you will too.

Darth Vader is not only one of the most recognizable characters in Star Wars, but he’s also one of the most instantly recognizable characters in cinema full stop. Not only just his appearance, but the way he sounds too. The instant you hear the sound of Vader’s breathing you know exactly who’s coming for you.

Speaking of sound, this costume has a button that’ll let you play some of Vader’s most famous lines. With this product, you can dress your little one up as one of the most heinous villains in the history of fiction. If that’s what you want, or, more likely, what they want, this product is for you.

Ahsoka originated from the Clone Wars animated films and show. Though her existence was something of a ret-con, she was lovable enough that she managed to cement her status as a break-out character, and she’s since gotten more attention on her through her appearance in The Mandalorian and her own series on Disney Plus.

This official costume will give you most of what you need to become Ahsoka included. You’ll need to find the face paint somewhere else, (here’s just one option) but after that, you’re all set.

Speaking of the Disney Plus live-action original additions to the Star Wars universe, here’s the star of the show in which Ahsoka’s live-action self debuted: The Mandalorian. Din Djarin, the man under the flashy Beskar armor, has become a staple of the Star Wars canon since being introduced to fans.

Odds are if your kids like Star Wars, they like him, and this all-in-one costume lets them become one of their favorite characters. The jumpsuit that mimics Mando’s suit covers everything from your neck to your feet, meaning your shoes won’t ruin it, not to mention that it comes with a mask in the shape of his iconic helmet!

Have you ever wanted to dress your child up as a fascist death machine? No? Okay, well, that actually makes sense, but, c’mon, it’s a freaking stormtrooper. Barring Vader himself, this is the most recognizable villain in the history of Star Wars. You can show anyone a picture of a stormtrooper and they will, at the very least, know what it is.

Even though they’re the baddies, we’d hazard to guess some of your little ones like the idea of dressing up as one of them. If your child is looking to have fun being a villain, but prefers something not tied to a single specific character, this is definitely the costume for you.

You know, most franchises as old as Star Wars would struggle to keep cranking out iconic new characters, but somehow, it manages to keep ’em coming. Here we have, perhaps, the cutest character in the history of the franchise. If you’ve got a little kid you need a costume for, or if you’re looking for something that’ll go great with the Mandalorian costume above, this product is for you.

It doesn’t actually hover (though, come to think of it, that might not be a reasonable expectation) but the pram it puts the wearer in still looks pretty good, and the way its color scheme extends down into the legs and feet is a nice touch.

Maybe you don’t quite feel up to covering yourself head to toe in armor or orange body paint. Maybe you want something a little more understated, or that isn’t tied to a single specific character. Something subtle, that won’t be recognized by everyone, but will bring a special little thrill to those who do know what it is. If that’s the case, this costume is for you.

This formal tunic has shown up on a few characters in the Star Wars universe, including Luke, and a whole lot of Republic senators. It seems to be a piece of formal wear, and, even though it’s not the primary outfit of any of the franchise’s most recognizable characters, most people will, at least in the back of their mind, know where it comes from, and that carries a special little thrill.

Every major series needs an adorable little character for the kids to fall in love with, and, before we had Baby Yoda, that role was filled by these little guys. Ewoks were specifically designed to be turned into toys, and their entire design is oriented around that, and, well, no one can claim that they didn’t pull it off.

First introduced in Return of the Jedi, Ewoks have become an adorable part of Star Wars canon, and now you can turn your baby into one. Available in a few different sizes, and if anyone dare ask if they’re a teddy bear, you have our permission to immediately handcuff them to the nearest television and force them watch the original trilogy from start to finish.

If your Star Wars costume is almost complete and you’re here looking for a finishing touch, perhaps what you need is a lightsaber, and whether you love the latest trilogy or hate it, Kylo Ren’s crossguard lightsaber may well be the coolest design the series has seen so far. If you turn the lights off, you’ll be able to see the lightsaber glow, and it even makes the iconic humming sound.

If you’re worried the Dark Side might consume you, or just looking to dress up as another iconic character, there are loads of other lightsaber designs available from Disney’s store.
