Blast from the past: Star Wars has managed to stay cool throughout the decades, in spite of the fact the George Lucas-directed movies first hit the big screens of the Plaza Theatre in Kyabram in 1977. Kyabram’s Ruby Vanderdonk preferred a more modern superhero for her costume and was surrounded by some of the Star Wars droid characters.

Kyabram’s Plaza Theatre was transformed into COSPLAZA for one very special evening on the weekend.

The Cosplay event, which offered people the chance to dress up as a character from a film, book or video game, attracted plenty of attention at the historic Allan St venue.

Villains and heroes: Shepparton’s mother and daughter combination, Susan and Joy Parnell, represented good and evil at the Campaspe Shire Cosplay event at Kyabram’s Plaza Theatre.

Favourite characters: Isabella Cartwright (left, as Kinoko from *My Hero Academia*), Hailee Smith (No Face) and Aero Richards (a pirated named Ambrose, of her own creation) were on hand for the pizza and cosplay celebrations at the event on Saturday evening.

Nothing strange about this: Kara Harris is part of the Bendigo cosplay community and was among several costumed participants to travel to Kyabram for the event. She is, of course, Dr Strange — of Marvel fame.

Making a statement: Bron Faisst and Mary Rose, who went dress as Tom Baker’s *Dr Who* character, caught up at the event to discuss their favourite movie, television and book characters.
