StarWars.com is shining a light on those who truly give the saga its power: the fans. In the StarWars.com Fan Spotlight, we’re honored to tell their stories.

Like many of us, Rachel Maksy became a fan of the galaxy far, far away as a kid. She started dressing up as one of her favorite Star Wars heroines one fateful Halloween night — and she hasn’t stopped since, now putting her skills as an award-winning makeup artist and self-taught seamstress into crafting unforgettable Star Wars cosplay.

Rachel most often cosplays as Princess Leia, she tells StarWars.com. “Carrie Fisher is a huge inspiration and I just find Leia to be super tough and sassy,” she says. “I have done a couple makeup tests for Padmé and Rey, with plans to make Padmé’s

It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee. And few things could enrage Chewbacca more than the disappearance of his close friend Han Solo, frozen in carbonite and lost in the galaxy.

Marvel’s crossover event, War of the Bounty Hunters, centers around Boba Fett’s journey to bring Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt following the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

The frigid planet would host one of the saga’s most memorable sequences in the Battle of Hoth, in which snowspeeders attempted to thwart the impossibly-big AT-AT walkers. In StarWars.com’s exclusive excerpt from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Special, a rich celebration of Episode V from the makers of Star Wars Insider (and on sale now), we learn the genesis of Hoth, from George Lucas’ original ideas for the locale, to design, to shooting in Norway.

With temperatures as low as -60°C during the nights and landscapes constantly buried under ice and snow, this is one
