Mara Jade Cosplay Preview

I got an impromptu shoot with after we spotted an interesting location near my place that looked very Star Wars like. When he mentioned about shooting there I knew I had to have a Star Wars costume ready. I already had a Tatooine Padme Naberrie costume, but Mara Jade was a costume I've always wanted to make. Mike also mentioned he wanted a lightsaber for the dusk shots if it was going to be Star Wars; so it was settled that Mara was the right costume for the shoot.
For those of you who are unsure of who Mara Jade is, she was a character from Expanded Universe. She later became the wife of Luke Skywalker. She was probably the most popular EU character..that is until Disney dismissed EU a couple years ago...so now the character no longer exists...unless she makes an appearance in the movie. We will have to wait and see.
We caught the sun right at the correct time for the golden hue photos. This was taken a in a small sand dune in some low lands off a hiking trail. 
I invited my friend out for some pics since he has movie grade Shadow Trooper armor so we were able to get a very cool Star Wars shoot going.
This is just a preview of the shoot. I have about 15 more photos from the set. These were among some of my favorites!
Had to post these in light of the new Star Wars movie coming out!
I can't stress enough how much I LOVE how these photos turned out! So many people have told me they look like movie stills! Thanks so much Mike for being awesome!
