Photos by Marianna Orlova

Star Wars fans know that there are few things as graceful as a female Twi’lek… simply walking with a pair of lovely female Twi’lek’s is a sign of influence and wealth. On top of that, the entire humanoid species is naturally quick and cunning, making them one of the most known races in the whole Star Wars universe.

Although Twi’lek characters come in all walks of life, one thing Star Wars fans haven’t seen is an original burlesque style Twi’lek cosplay, and the following photo series is just that. The idea was devised by Russian cosplayer Valentina Leontyeva who collaborated with photographer Marianna Orlova, creating an alluring photo series full of soft color, draping in pearls and femininity. The idea for this humanoid is captured so amazingly well, I think George Lucas should take a look. What do you think?
