Why doesn't anybody wears Rancor costume?

These fanboys who gathered here at Gedung Indonesia Menggugat probably knows who is Dr. Evazan, Klaatu, Barada, Garindan & Nikto. You will be greeted by Rebel Pilots from the entrance and there are lot of fanboys who wears Stormtroopers, Scout Troopers, and even kids cosplaying as Jawas. Some even go to greater lengths to wear Darth Maul, Boba Fett and even C-3PO costumes! For you massive toy collectors, there's also a special mini-bazaar selling Star Wars Medicom Kubricks, '70s Kenner basic figures, Hasbros, Legos, Even headphones, Bobbleheads, Yoda's ear & custom lightsabers. One of the stands even sells STAR TREK enterprise (blasphemy!!) haha.. Some DJ's were playing in the main exhibition hall, where the artworks are displayed. We liked all the artworks but the Metal Darth Vader from Ken Terror and Mufti Amenk Priyanka's couples seeing stars were our favorites. Special ultra-rare collectors item were also displayed with the 'do not touch' sign. A massive ice planet Hoth battle diorama with many AT-AT's were also displayed in the center, with Jabba's palace multi-layered diorama beside it. At night there were some choregraphized lightsaber duel and also real duels. There's also a 'Cantina' (without the cantina band) selling snacks and Bandung's most prized spicy cassava, Maicih, with Star Wars packaging. A massive Star Wars movie marathon were playing all 1-6 episodes. I wonder if there's an audience staying put from episode 1 till 6. Enjoy this photos from Yellow Dino, Sam, Ing, Eric, & Kum. This was organized by a community for Star Wars enthusiasts called Order 66 Bandung Homebase to celebrate 35 years of Star Wars.
