Our first group comes from Charlotte, NC, as a group of Imperial officers, under the watchful command of Kylo Ren, captured a princess, a young girl, and a couple of news reporters. We hear the interrogation was light, but a little ticklish.

While some theaters were more restrictive than others, there are still some decent photos of lightsaber action going on at certain opening night showings. This Kylo Ren cosplayer was one of the lucky folks that got to wield his weapons of a more elegant time, and he even brought two in case there were any random opponents who wanted in on the fun.
Loved #StarWarsTheForceAwakens. Best about #openingNight -costumes, #lightsabers, & full theatre applause! @starwars pic.twitter.com/HsZYTjVGny

Re-watching the original trilogy in the run up to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we can safely say Yoda and Darth Vader never faced off, especially with Luke Skywalker and a Stormtrooper to watch on. That said… we kind of wish we could have seen that, especially after the Detroit Free Press shared this group photo.

Of course, what would an opening night cosplay gallery be without the legendary 501st Stormtrooper Garrison! Here’s some of their upstanding members at a theater in Athens, Georgia – all ready to watch their next costume upgrades in action on the big screen!
Fun Opening Night with the 501st Stormtrooper Garrison at Ovation last night! Great Friday seats still available. Come...
