Jawa! The 3rd Halloween he's been a Star Wars character! According to Wookieepedia (and yes, there is such a thing), Jawas were typically short humanoid natives of Tatooine. They were often scavengers, seeking out technology for sale or trade in the deep deserts in their huge sandcrawler transports. A band of Jawas was responsible for locating C-3PO and R2-D2 and selling them to Luke Skywalker's uncle Owen Lars. Another tribe of Jawas, led by Tteel Kkak, found Jabba the Hutt's rancor. They had a reputation for swindling, as they had a penchant for selling old equipment such as outdated droids to moisture farmers, but they were passive beings, and hardly put up any resistance to colonists of their planet unlike the other natives the Sand People, instead seeing them as an excellent business opportunity. Fascinating, huh?
I think we did pretty good with the costume. With E-bay, Joann's, random things around the house, and Grandma's help sewing the robe, it all came together and he is so excited to wear it. Here's the original dudes...

A Vampire! All her own choice, though of course I couldn't resist resurrecting part of my costume from last year and playing along as her mother vampire for the pictures. And for those wondering--this is NOT my costume for this year--that will be revealed the night of Halloween! I'm all up for playing a little guessing game though if anyone wants to guess...
