Yep. When I was 10, my mom rigged up a cheesey R2D2 costume for halloween. She did her best... if I can find a picture it'll generate much mirth.bloggit

This is like the nicest, sweetest, least-snarky thing ever posted on this blog, and I can’t believe no one has anything more to say about it. Geez.

Oh: LAST!

I remember the endless wait for the next Star Wars movie, which was supposed to come out in 1986, but never did. Remember that? The Prequel Trilogy was supposed to be released in ’86, ’89, and ’92, and then the big finale trilogy was supposed to come out in ’95, ’98, and ’01. There wasn’t an internet and SF reporting was pretty spotty back then (Damn Starlog!), so I didn’t get concerned that nothing leaked out about the new production for ’86 – I mean, fairly little leaked out anyway in those days.

And it never came. And then 1987 began, and I started to realize how awful “Return of the Jedi” really was…and it’s been downhill ever since.

Ahh man, I forgot about my Return of the Jedi bed sheets! I’m also happy to note that my mom wasn’t the only one weird enough to take photos while we were sleeping.

Seriously, we have these exact same photos somewhere – me freaking out over my ewok village on christmas, the Darth Vader birthday cake that my mom made for my brother with the icing that turned everybody’s mouths blue…this is great. Even the living room carpet, the brick fireplaces, the dining room tables, the church rec-rooms, they’re all the same! Thanks for posting.

Yeah- those were def “the good ole days”!
I had just married and all of my new nieces and nephews were calling ME Princess Leia!
(I had long brown hair- which ended up wrapped around my ears for a while!!!)
They loved it because I was goofy enough to play Star Wars w/ them…it was great fun…my
95# German Shepherd got to “be” Chewbacca, as well…
(Geeks Rule!!)

I forgot I was watching football for a moment there. I can see my daughters and my own enthusiasm in those pictures. Our little family making her Jawa Halloween costume this year was the best. My wife told her a couple of times how lucky she was to have a Geek for a dad. But I think it’s more of a honor to have a Geeky 5 year old who wants to be a Jawa for a daughter.http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=104280830&albumID=2310162&imageID=34522325
