Aug 22 2008Artistic Photo Gallery Of Star Trek And Star Wars Fans Dressed Up As Characters
This is an artsy photo gallery by photographer Steve Schofield containing a ton of people dressed up as Star Wars and Star Trek characters. And, because it's Friday and I've already started drinking, I threw in a Ninja Turtle for good measure. Remember the sexy Comic-Con and Princess Leia galleries? Well this is the opposite of those. If those galleries were the hot girl in high school you always had a crush on, this is your ugly little sister. But it's definitely still worth a view, the photos are incredibly well done. I really love the feelings they evoke. It's almost like you ARE that person all dressed up in your costume, posing for the camera, and thinking, "what the fuck have I gotten myself into?"
Hit the jump for the monster gallery. It really is awesome.
Thanks To Jenny, The Bloggess, for always kicking ass.

i haven't seen that many sagging tits since my last visit to the retirement castle.

that TMNT is taking a crap on the couch
9. Nava - August 22, 2008 5:22 PM
Man, those two Klingons on the couch look like half of the Geico caveman KISS coverband.

I've never been so happy and sad at the same time

OLD- saw this many moons ago on Digg's front page. Kudos to Geekologie for this being a rare thing...

This is win and fail wrapped into one
13. J1m - August 22, 2008 5:38 PM
Father & son Vader FTW!
[Insert your own "I am your father" joke here]

Father and son Darth Vader, adorable.

Good job (claps)
Way to point out what happens on this site everyday....
Do you think Picard leaves Picardboard up all day?
16. jbl - August 22, 2008 6:07 PM
#11. We get it, you spend to much time on the internet.
Dont be so gay all your life.
17. marlo - August 22, 2008 6:17 PM
GENIUS. Now I feel like re-watching Trekkies. Nerd trainwrecks where you can sort of empathize with the nerds and laugh at them at the same time are so much win.
I think my favourite is the Imperial Guard with his kittycat.

Is that a Jump-to-Conclusions Mat in photo #8?
Oh, PLEASE tell me that's a Jump-to-Conclusions Mat!
19. NastyBedazzler - August 22, 2008 6:33 PM
That was surprisingly excellent. Well done... well done indeed.

Hey! That's my house!
21. F!TO - August 22, 2008 6:58 PM
Awesome!, i'm not a huge fan of any of the franchise, but they all look incredibly good!
22. Oldschoolgamer - August 22, 2008 7:02 PM
Where the hell do some of these people come from?! This is the epitomy of Geek!

picardboard comment might be the funniest thing I hear all week.
25. kelsey - August 23, 2008 2:08 AM
Picture 5-that cat looks frightened. Frankly, I don't blame him.
26. kiki - August 23, 2008 5:57 AM
cat with imperial guard= adorable.
i think they are all pretty freaking amazing though.
i love it.

i'm a geek.
27. Darth - August 23, 2008 6:20 AM
22, if you were a real geek, you'd know that it's spelled "epitome..."
;)
And I LOVE the storm-troopers using pay phones. That's a great shot.
28. this is stupid - August 23, 2008 6:57 AM
what the hell is wrong with you people? am i the only one who think that these guys look like absolute losers? some of the shots are just really stupid.
except the cat. he's awesome.
29. ~zeus~ - August 23, 2008 7:35 AM
pic #14.. wtf? owned!?
30. Ben - August 23, 2008 8:13 AM
If you are incredibly bored (like on the verge of killing yourself bored) look for the following items:
- a mini-yoda
-an unplugged keyboard
- a wok (the pan not a typoed ewok)
- a hanger
- a wii
- a piano

star treck & star war
32. commiepants - August 23, 2008 11:30 AM

the is the 1337est costume of them all.
33. riz - August 23, 2008 12:57 PM
ninja turtle FTW!!!!!
34. Thumperchica - August 23, 2008 3:12 PM
Ben,
I am that bored, and there are 2 problems with your list (or my eyes)
#1 - there is more than one mini-yoda
#2 - wtf, I see no Wok!!!
#3- I am lame, I actually looked for them *tear*
35. Dullard - August 23, 2008 3:45 PM
The wok is not a lie!
36. Snot - August 23, 2008 6:55 PM
The emperor is a starwars geek who collects action figures? ...huh
37. johnny k - August 23, 2008 7:20 PM
the tmnt seems to have been photoshopped...

40. port@l - August 24, 2008 11:36 AM
the cake is a lie!!!!!!
but not the wok.
41. Ben - August 24, 2008 12:47 PM
Thumperchica,
Dammit now you have me looking for a second mini-yoda. Can't find it.
As for the Wok, it's in the Picardboard picture.
You would have gotten a really sweet prize had you found it. Sorry.
42. Pakistan Gifts - August 24, 2008 1:51 PM
I love the robot guy, and the poor cat near that mutant...SICK !
43. Thumperchica - August 24, 2008 3:29 PM
Ben,
2nd pic, top shelf, left figure. I now see the wok, thank you. BTW- just got done watching Clone Wars, worth watching!
44. Momboelitist - August 25, 2008 9:48 AM
It would seem that some of these people spend more money on their fantasy world than on their home decor. I spend on neither.
45. Alli - August 25, 2008 10:20 AM
the chewy one is the best
46. Susanna - August 25, 2008 10:24 AM
the storm-trooper on the phone wins.
47. esther - August 25, 2008 8:02 PM
wookies should use bodynets in the kitchen for hygiene
48. Stuey - August 26, 2008 1:14 PM
AHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA
some of those peeps have some swank digs. and some.....don't lol
49. Yewtree - August 27, 2008 11:40 AM
Awesome! That guy really looks like Jean-Luc Picard. I wonder why the family with the Klingon dad had the curtains pulled? I like the one with the cat on the hearth-rug, too. And the kid Darth Vader.
50. STARWARSFREAK - August 28, 2008 6:01 AM
Ok, that kid trying to be Anakin, is STUPID. the rest are great tho, but the stormtroopers take the cake.
51. Lua - August 28, 2008 1:06 PM
hahaha, pretty cool
52. Yewtree - August 29, 2008 5:22 AM
Check these out: http://www.oddee.com/item_96474.aspx - World's Geekiest Weddings - some are also dressed as Star Wars characters.

54. Nunuv Yerbizness - September 3, 2008 1:59 PM
I can't help but remember Shatner's famous "Get a life!" routine from Saturday Night Live. Alas, NBC made Youtube take it down.
55. TechnoPhoebe - September 9, 2008 8:59 AM
Excellent, some of them look a bit scarey, others just a bit sad. The one in red with the cat on the rug is best... nice colour dress :)

mini vader will burn his fingers if he holds his saber like that too much.
