Even though he’s yet to be seen on the big screen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, actor John Boyega is at the level of stardom which means he can’t even walk around at a Star Wars convention and not get noticed. I mean, sheesh! Fortunately, there’s a Clone trooper helmet for that.

It’s been a necessary evil for any celebrity wanting to walk the floor of a convention unfettered. I remember back in 2009 telling Lost’s Daniel Dae Kim, who was really interested in seeing what it was like on the floor at New York Comic Con, that he should just put on a mask. And now, that’s a thing. Daniel Radcliffe has done it, Peter Jackson has done it, and countless others who maybe never even revealed their disguises.

Moving through the crowds at celebration grabbing all the merchandise a fan boy needs.
