Star Wars, Geek Culture, and Power Converters
You’ve heard us talk about it before and you’ve even seen a teaser picture but now, direct from Dragon*Con, we bring you the Gender Swapped Wraith Squadron featuring, yes that’s right, some of the Tosche Station staff! We had an absolute blast getting the group together especially since we got to chat with the one and only Aaron Allston after a panel as the Wraiths.
The Wraiths with their creator! Check out the rest of the photoshoot after the jump!
Cosplay Week continues here at Tosche Station with not one, not two, but three costumes today! Not only are we featuring one of the best Tenel Ka costumes but also a Teneniel Djo and a Ta’a Chume! That’s right: the entire line of Hapan Queens live and in person! Heather, one half of Zhobot, as Tenel Ka Djo, Jesse as Teneniel, and Jean as Ta’a Chume.
And we’re back with Cosplay Week! We saw so many awesome costumes at Celebration VI and Dragon*Con that we just had to share some of them with you as soon as possible! Again, we don’t know who the cosplayers were for most of these so if you recognize the costumer, please let us know so we can give proper credit!
Today’s awesome cosplay by Lisa was spotted Friday night of Dragon*Con. At first glance, she’s just Mary Poppins, right? Which is amazing all on its own because who doesn’t love Mary Poppins? But take another look. The handle of her umbrella is a sonic screwdriver, her bag is a TARDIS, and she’s wearing a smaller version of the Fourth Doctor’s scarf! If this isn’t a good argument for Mary Poppins being the Twelth Doctor, then we don’t know what is!
It’s Cosplay Monday! No wait, that’s not right. Today’s Sunday. Actually, we’ve got something better for you than just Cosplay Monday: it’s Cosplay Week! Between Celebration VI and Dragon*Con, we at Tosche Station have seen a TON of fantastic costumes lately and we couldn’t wait to share some of them with you. So for this week only, we’ll be posting an awesome costume that we saw these past two conventions every day! We don’t know who the cosplayers were for most of these so if you recognize the costumer, please let us know so we can give proper credit!

If you’ve been paying attention to costuming photos from conventions, you’ve probably noticed that one of the cool new trends in costuming is to gender swap a costume. It’s gone from being something you see every now and then at a convention to a sort of costume that you now expect to see at conventions. Some groups, such as the fantastic Gender Swapped Justice League, have become far more internet famous than others but gender swapping certainly is not limited to just superheroes. (Just ask the Doctor Who fandom.) For everyone person who thinks that these costumes are cool, there’s probably another person tilting their head in confusion and asking “why?” If you’re one of those people, you should absolutely keep reading.
It’s been thirteen long years but Expanded Universe readers can finally get their hands on a brand new X-Wing novel and wow is this book worth the wait. Mercy Kill helps put the fun back into the galaxy far far away and does so with a typical Allston flourish.
Mercy Kill is set after Fate of the Jedi in a galaxy where Wraith Squadron hasn’t existed for a few years. But there’s a general who’s clearly been up to no good and that calls for Face Loran to reassemble the Wraiths to take care of business.
