And once our Ultrasabers arrive, our costumes will be even better. My paired green sabers are just cheap breakable store-bought sabers. Good enough for photos, but we've broken several over the years with just light sparring.

Wow great pictures!

So these are the ones that are going to beat you in sparring?

Probably, especially since I'm sticking with paired/staff 24" sabers and they'll each have 32" full sized.  And I still can't believe how they've grown in just 4-5 years.  My oldest (left) is already taller than me at only 15 and my youngest (13) isn't far behind.

I'm really happy with they way my costumes turned out.  Almost everything is homemade (except the sabers, Vader helmet and my cloak). Nothing sewn, although I can do that, because I find it easier to find items that are close and modify them.
I've made some tweaks to my Jedi outfit (including actual Jedi-style boots) and once my REAL sabers come in the mail, I'll get some photos up

Everything home-made? Wow, respect for that.

And yes, they do grow fast. Made me a bit scared, 'cause mine are 9 and 12 at this moment. And then the moment that you can't win anymore with wrestling or messing around and they finally have become the stronger one...
I can still remember the day I won from my father Wink

Nice collection of pictures. It's good seeing how your padawans grown

Dang, fella... what are you FEEDING those kids?  They’re growing like weeds!

Thanks for the pics, and those costumes really look good, too.  I think it’s great that your kids are interested in this, too, and are willing to be ‘caught on film’ with you.  Cherish these moments.

Well, if you notice, there's no 2018 photo.  My oldest didn't want to dress up that year (at least until he saw how much candy his brother got).  I only got them to do a 2019 photo by telling them how much it meant to me to have a growth comparison.

But who knows about 2020? Maybe with REAL sabers they'll want to dress up again this year for pics.
I know for sure that my youngest won't fit in his Resistance jumpsuit as it was a bit tight in 2019.  But he can go back to being Vader as that still fits me since I played "Dad Vader" in 2017

You're never too old to trick or treat!

Also, teens out getting candy aren't doing bad stuff.

Point 1:  As someone who hands out candy to trick-or-treaters, I agree.  I prefer that the “beggars” (as they are properly called, since it’s Beggars’ Night) be in SOME kind of costume, but I don’t insist.  Also, I offer candy to the parents/chaperones who stay on the sidewalk and let the young ones approach.  After all, they’re out there giving their time to this effort, too.  (Many laugh and say they’ll just wait for the young’uns to fall asleep, but a few accept the offer.)

Point 2:  I plead the Fifth.

These are great, Galef! Hopefully they will continue to enjoy SW with Dad as they hit their "alien" years. Don't worry if they don't, though...they'll be returned to you around age 23 and then even more fun can begin!

Wow... nice outfit, and it’s cool that she joined you in this.  My wife is very understanding about the purchases (and I just got done thanking her for this right before I saw this post, actually), but she’s not as excited about the cosplay aspects, so I think you’re very lucky here.  My wife would have no issue with me cosplaying, and she enjoys looking at the pictures I take at comic conventions, but she’s content to help me with this kind of effort from the sidelines.
