Dean-Charles Chapman’s Shocking Confession: My Acolyte Outfit Is from Spirit Halloween
*Hollywood, CA* — In an exclusive interview, actor Dean-Charles Chapman dropped a bombshell: His elaborate costume from the Star Wars series “The Acolyte” was not a bespoke creation by a renowned designer. Instead, he revealed that he snagged it from Spirit Halloween during a last-minute Halloween In July sale.
Chapman, known for his roles in “Game of Thrones” and “1917,” sat down with FakingStarWars, to spill the glittery beans. “Honestly, I was in a bind,” Chapman admitted, sipping an iced latte at a trendy West Hollywood café. “The showrunners said, ‘Dean, we need you to look like every ugly old guy on the Jedi Council, but like crustier and mixed with the guy from the Leprechaun movies.’ And I thought, ‘Spirit Halloween has it all.'”
The costume in question—a generic Jedi robe, Hobbit boots, and Bearded Lady beard—reportedly cost Chapman a mere $29.99. “I even got a plastic lightsaber as a bonus,” he chuckled. “It blinks and makes ‘pew-pew’ sounds. What more could a Jedi ask for?”
But the real pièce de résistance? Chapman’s makeup skills. “I watched a few YouTube tutorials,” he confessed. “Learned how to perfect the battle scar over my eye, super realistic. I even mastered how to contour my forehead into the ultimate Jedi pattern baldness.”
Fans were initially baffled by Chapman’s appearance in the show’s trailer. One Twitter user wrote, “Is this a Jedi or the lil fella on the box of Lucky Charms?” Another quipped, “I sense a disturbance in the Force—and it’s called ‘budget constraints.'”
Lucasfilm, caught off guard, issued a statement: “While we appreciate Dean-Charles’s resourcefulness, we’d like to clarify that our costume department is not, in fact, a Spirit Halloween annex. We’ve since hired a team of professional costume designers and stylists to salvage the situation.”
Chapman, undeterred, defended his choices. “Look, Darth Vader wore a helmet, and he’s an icon,” he said. “I’m just adding a little lived-in flair. Besides, scars and beards are timeless.”
In a bizarre twist, Spirit Halloween’s stock of Jedi robes and Bearded Lady beards have skyrocketed. “We’re calling it the ‘Chapman Effect,'” said store manager Brenda Hall. “Our Halloween in July section is now a Jedi Council cosplayer meet up.”
