Look at this 4 year old's adorable Jawa costume her grandmother made her. This is way better than my juvenile attempt of wrapping myself in an old blanket and stumbling around on my knees.

Last year her brother went as a Tusken raider. Apparently she was jealous and wanted a similarly cool costume this year.

    My dog is going as Chewbacca this year, but she’s a golden retriever so all we really needed to do was add an ammo belt.

    Back in ’77 these two girls from up the street had homemade Jawa costumes. They were the shit, with hoods, lights, masks: the works! It was one of the few times I wished I was short.

    Some day I will take full advantage of being 6’6″ and get a full-scale high quality Chewbacca costume.

    I always heard “Houdini”. I wonder what it is in the script (if it is in the script)?
