I couldn’t resist. It isn’t every year that this awesome
holiday falls on the day I’m slated to blog. Today is Star Wars Day, and I’m a
fan. So, I went digging to see if there were any associations between Star Wars
and the Regency period. What I found amazed me.
Now, I would love to post the pictures on this blog, but I couldn’t
find a way to ask permission. So, I will point you to this link instead and describe just one of the wonderful portraits of Star Wars characters in
Regency garb: Kylo Ren, all in black, in a double-breasted coat, patterned waistcoat, and cravat. Be
still my heart!
I wasn’t the only one moved. Two cosplayers were inspired to
take these pictures live. Nicely done!
And it turns out there’s actually a thing on Tumblr of
Regency Reylo (Kylo Ren and Rey romantically involved, in Regency garb). Who
knew?
May the Fourth inspire you to go and be creative too.

LOL! I wonder what Georgette Heyer would have made of Star Wars?
Wow! Really cool stuff, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes both Regency and Star Wars!
