Seriously dressed up Star Wars fans in Mexico City

Hundreds of Star Wars cosplayers from seven countries took part in a parade in Mexico City on Saturday. The event was organized by the Mexican Garrison of the 501st Legion, which describes themselves as a non-profit organization made to amaze fans and bring more people into their fandom through its authentic-looking costumes.

Most of the participants dressed as the side characters of the saga, that kicked off in the 1970's as a science fiction space opera. Only a few were selected to perform as the main characters. Stormtroopers opened the way to Darth Vader, escorted by Imperial pilots in the parade.
