I saw this over at Alex J. Cavanaugh's site, and I thought it was worth sharing.



Do you agree with these rules?  What is Star Wars when it's at its best?

Awesome Halloween Costume

Last year we made a homemade robot costume for my son Jude.

Jude in his robot costume, and Lyle in his
dinosaur costume.

The robot costume all lit up.

I don't think we'll be able to top it this year, mostly because we aren't the most adept at that sort of thing.  Still, in the course of searching for ideas, I came across this impressive costume.

And no, we won't be trying to replicate this.  I already know this is beyond our abilities to duplicate, but it's very much worth sharing.
