Cosplay is truly an art form unto itself that's practiced by millions of people each year at conventions and other various events across the globe. As always, Star Wars fans in particular are always finding ways to push it to the next level, and some brand new Star Wars Battlefront II cosplay that just popped up has been turning a lot of heads.
Chief creative officer of Industrial Light & Magic and the man who first pitched the idea that would become Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was recently interviewed by former Mythbusters star Adam Savage on the SYFY25: Origin Stories Podcast. On the podcast, the visual effects legend told the story of how he got his start at ILM and the early days of Rogue One. Check it out below,
Former Mythbusters star Adam Savage has become a legend among geeks everywhere for his contagious passion for filmmaking, costuming and collecting. On his YouTube channel, Tested, Savage has made a tradition out of wearing incredible costumes at comic conventions and challenging his fans to spot him in the crowd. Last year he walked the showfloor of San Diego Comic Con as Kylo Ren, and just last month he visited Silicon Valley Comic Con dressed as a familiar walking carpet.
Although most will know Adam Savage as a "Mythbuster" from the incredibly popular television series that ran from 2003 until earlier this year, some might not be aware of his passion for cosplay. Savage has created and worn numerous costumes over the years and has made a tradition of attending San Diego Comic Con every year "incognito" as a plethora of different characters. In doing so, Savage challenges his fellow Comic Con attendees to try and spot him in his masked ensemble.
Now that we're a few weeks removed from San Diego Comic Con Savage and his team have begun to officially unveil the costumes he wore at the convention. This year he cosplayed as two different characters, the first being the bear from The Revenant and the second is Kylo Ren from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
On Savage's YouTube channel, Tested, a video was posted showing of his experience walking the Comic Con show floor while wearing the Kylo Ren costume, which was created by ANOVOS. You can see the video below:
