The Big Reveal!
M4P 2015 DIY Star Wars Costumes:  C-3PO and R2-D2.

C-3PO and R2-D2 are just like our kids.  They fight, argue, bicker, they insult and occasionally even kick each other…  Don’t believe me?  Here are some side-by-side comparisons from A New Hope, and our house.

The trick is to dress up enough to reinforce the theme, but not so much that you take the focus away from the little ones…

The Littlest Nerfherder (DIY Han Solo Holster)

DIY Han Solo Costume.  Check out all our other Star Wars costumes on our blog! #hansolo #holster #starwars #starwarsparty #maythefourthbewithyou #starwarsbirthday #starwarscostume #halloweencostume #cosplay maythefourthbewithyoupartyblog.com

Without a good holster, your blaster might get stuck, and then Greedo will shoot first…and we all know how terrible THAT would be. (DON’T get me started!)

With the exception of the holster, Han Solo’s costume was probably the simplest Star Wars costume we have made to date.  It was done in a just a few hours.  The holster on the other hand took some tinkering – but worth it, it is what makes Han’s costume cool!

There is no one as smooth as Lando.  He is by far the best ladies man in Star Wars.  Obi-Wan is a too much like our dad.  Qui-Gon, nice, but, honestly, a bit boring.   Mace is cool, but dangerous.  Han is pretty rough around the edges.  And Luke is, well, our brother.  Lando, however, is the guy who one would want to take home and introduce to mom, AND at the same time the one that will make all your female friends swoon with jealousy.
