Star Wars X-wing Fighter Costume

To celebrate "May the 4th" in 2023, I built an X-wing fighter costume and my buddy Ian Baillie built a TIE fighter costume and we "flew" around our home of Asheville, North Carolina. 

I attended Dragon Con for the first time in September 2025 so I could march in the huge Saturday parade. The Star Wars group was the largest and was placed at the very end of the parade. The response to my X-wing costume was fantastic. People actually cheered when they saw me! In the video below you can scroll to the 1 hour 27 second mark to see me in my costume. At the one hour 3 minutes 27 second mark you'll see a huge Sand Crawler filled with Jawas!
