Young Star Wars Fans in Wheelchairs Get Epic Costumes at Comic-Con

Another San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone, and among all the amazing pictures rolling in, these will melt your heart (and blow your mind).

Magic Wheelchair, a nonprofit organization that builds epic costumes for kiddos in wheelchairs at no cost to families, raised $25,000 from over 500 backers on Kickstarter to create stunning costumes for seven young wheelchair-bound Star Wars fans and fly them to Comic-Con, which wrapped up yesterday.

The results are seriously spectacular. The costumes included a huge rancor (from Return of the Jedi), Anakin Skywalker’s starfighter, Kylo Ren’s TIE fighter, an X-Wing, a Destroyer droid (first seen in The Phantom Menace), a Boga (from Revenge of the Sith), and Rey with a bunch of porgs (from The Last Jedi). The kids were all in a parade outside the convention center, so other SDCC-ers could marvel at the amazing getups.

The team of designers included Adam Savage and the Tested team, Tom Spina Designs, Fon Davis and Fonco Studios, Michael McMaster and Echo Base, Gordon Tarpley, Pixologic, Monster City Studios, Dangling Carrot, Massivit 3D, and Sean Fields and Project 842, who used their talents to make glorious creations for the seven kids.

If this warms your soul as much as it warms ours, you can donate to Magic Wheelchair for their next effort. A New Hope indeed.
