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.
