Plenty of us find ourselves rooting for the bad guy... but Star Wars doesn't just give us iconic villains to cosplay as, but also pretty sweet soldiers and men/women in uniform. Imperial Stormtroopers may be the worst shots in all the galaxy, but their armour is so iconic that literally whole platoons of identical massive skull-helmeted nasties descend upon Star Wars conventions all over the world, resembling nothing so much as a bag full of mint imperials. Here's a few specialist soldiers to vary the palate a little. Our favourites for sheer spectacle have to be the Imperial guardsmen... And there are plenty of people with the imagination to try something a little different... If anyone out there knows of anyone who's cosplayed the Death Star, feel free to point us in their direction in the comments, so that we can worship them like the pagan gods they are.
