Inspired by "Star Wars"

Denver resident Liz Welch, 21, dressed as a custom-designed Star Wars Snow Trooper, while her friend Thomas Beyer, 33, created a Boba Fett-inspired character he named Solos Kyr. From Phoenix, Beyer got interested in making his costume when he started making one for his son. The costume pictured took him three months to put together, and he noted that he'd just finished the gun holster the day before the convention.
