“Max Rebo” Cosplayer Stabbed In the Back During Fight Over Racist Costume
A human male dressed as Max Rebo was stabbed in the back early Monday afternoon after he reportedly tried to break up a fight between a male Twi’lek dressed as a Gungan warrior and a human male dressed as an Old Republic era pilot. According to the witnesses, the human in the pilot costume attacked the Twi’lek in the Gungan costume because he thought the garb was racist. The costumed character fight broke out at 2:45 p.m. on Monday 10/31 on West Skywalker Street near the corner of Republic Way, according to the Coruscant Police Department.
Several witnesses reports that the 30-year-old “pilot,” dressed specifically as a Clone Trooper, was arguing with the “Gungan warrior” about his costume when “Max Rebo” stepped in. The pilot then allegedly pulled a vibroknife out of his boot and stabbed “Max Rebo” in the back.
A spokeswoman for the CPD said that “Max Rebo” checked himself into the emergency room at Coruscant Grand Hospital, and that his injuries weren’t life threatening. (She couldn’t confirm a witness’s report that “Max Rebo” suffered a lacerated spleen.) No arrests have been made, and an investigation is ongoing.
Stay safe out there fakers and make sure to take a REAL Jedi with you to avoid any entanglements.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
