Welcome to the Redback Forums! 
As the other gents have said you can do any costume you like
If it helps I'll try break down some of the 'costs' for some of the costumes
Fett and Vader are among the most expensive costumes in the Legion and will take thousands of dollars unfortunately just because of the complexity of them (Usually sitting in the neighbourhood of $3500 - $6000 and take a number of years to build)
Whereas Stormtroopers are around $600-$700 if memory serves me right (could be tad different), so they're way way cheaper and quicker to build then some of the high profile stuff. Then there's the TIE Pilot as Slide suggested which is similar but not as expensive as a Stormtrooper I believe.
Then more affordable again are the Reserve TIE Pilots and pretty well all the Imperial Officers, which you can do quite well for a few hundred typically.
Have a read through the CRL's, there's way more costumes than you could possibly imagine and sign up to the relevant detachment forums if anything strikes your fancy!
Anyway hopefully that kinda helps, welcome to the forums!
Enjoy your time here, choose a costume you like and enjoy the ride!
