Next time you want to get excused from jury duty, try dressing like Princess Leia. In this week’s episode of the hit show 30 Rock (Season 3: Episode 2), Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) gets out of jury duty in Chicago by doing just that.
“I never get put on a jury. I wear my Princess Leia costume and they dismiss me immediately.”
Sure enough, she wears the classic A New Hope garb to jury duty and says in a rather bizarre accent: “I don’t think it’s really fair for me to be on a jury because I can read thoughts.” “DISMISSED!”
Watch the full episode here on Hulu.com:

While some kids dressed up as Darth Vader, Princess Leia or Yoda this Halloween, this youngster went trick or treating as a Chicken Walker! If it was gray instead yellow, he could easily double as an AT-ST — a two-legged walker from Return of the Jedi. All he needs now are some Ewoks to shoot at!
WATCH VIDEO: See the Chicken Walker Costume in action

words: Bonnie Burton
Craft magazine Senior Editor Natalie Zee Drieu is not only a crafting genius, but a bit of a Star Wars fan. Thanks to her, I’ve been able to do Star Wars craft tutorials at the Bay Area Maker Faire for two years in a row, teaching kids how to make Yoda Dolls and Star Wars Marble Magnets. So when she told me about the Star Wars costumes she made for her adorable little dog and her furry friends, I had to know how. Thankfully, she blogs about the costumes and how you can make them easily from felt, cotton fabric, yarn, and ribbon.
Natalie says:
Ever since last Halloween, I’ve wanted to make Lulu an Ewok costume for Halloween. Last year I just didn’t have the time so I knew I had to get this going this year. It turned out her two best friends Gello (Darth Vader) and Lucy (Princess Leia), wanted costumes too for the upcoming neighborhood Halloween pet party this Sunday. Needless to say, these three are inseparable and known around our neighborhood together so we had to bring the Star Wars theme to all three dogs.
Check out how to make awesome dog costumes of an Ewok, Darth Vader and Princess Leia (with hairbuns!) here:

Boba Fett never wore a clean, pristine outfit, so why should you? Learn how to weather your Boba Fett cape using a pizza cutter, cardboard and spray paint from TK409.com! Personally, I love the dog cameo at the end.

Whenever I’m asked what one of my favorite memories of Celebration IV happens to be, I’m always quick to mention Amira, a professional belly dancer who mesmorized fans as she danced in a Slave Leia outfit. At C4, she also brought fans onstage with her to teach them the basics. It’s always amusing to watch someone dressed as Boba Fett shake and shimmy to the beat.
So it’s no surprise that Wired magazine finally caught wind of her talents and profiled Amira in Underwire. She talks about the first time she danced as SLave Leia:
“I danced in the outfit for the very first time at a Halloween show at the restaurant I perform at here in Orlando,” Amira said. “I then wore the costume to dance at a 2006 sci-fi convention in Connecticut. It was hit.”

Superman and Jabba spend some quality time together.
Yeah, yeah we know. San Diego Comic-Con 2008 is over. But we took a LOT of photos, and more keep rolling in. And when we spot some truly great photos, it’s just rude to keep them to ourselves. So here ya go. This time, we bring you snapshots taken by Lucas Online’s Internet Marketing Manager Staci Baird. She got some great kid costumes portraits, Slave Leias in action, and that rather funny one with Superman and Jabba.
Obi-Wan sneaks a snapshot of Slave Leia, and is that Professor X?!
Awww, sleepy droids…
