Princess Leia & Darth Vader: A Halloween Love Story

10/31/2008 By

Leia shows Vader the plans for the secret rebel base, because isn’t that what love is all about — the sharing?

Against all odds — the disparity in their ages, their cultural differences, her hair balls and his melty-gooey face — love overcame. Brings a tear to your eye, don’t it?

Happy Halloween, everybody!

PS: Apparently this post is featured in today’s Five Star Friday! This is my third featured post on FSF (the earlier two are here and here), and it’s an understatement to say that I’m proud and honored. Thanks for the props, my peeps. It really does mean a lot to me.

PPS: Today is my bestest buddy and partner-in-crime Kelly’s birthday. Not only that, but she’s turning 30 today. (Welcome to old hagdom, beeyatch!) Anyway, please go and give her some lovin‘, because she’s special and shit.

PPPSarrgh!: This morning Jamie sent me an email with a link to this photo a coworker of his had taken. BEST. COSTUME. EVAR!

    May the force be with them. Or better yet, Samuel L Jackson.

    And the fact that he's actually her father? Not creepy AT ALL. :)

    Love it! I tried so hard to make C a Jedi or Storm Trooper but no, he wanted to be a Pirate (again)! Gah! When will he grow out of this stage?!?! Anyway, loved the co-worker photo too – so so cute, plus they're UGA fans, those are my kind of people! ha ha hah

    Kieran is Luke. Again, Sweetney's and my life are eerily mirrored. http://momcast.blogspot.com/2008/10/hero-of-rebel…

    Except for the fact that they're father and daughter, it's a heartwarming tale…

    Haha, those costumes are great! Well ever since my kids and hubby bought me a gorgeous diamond necklace from http://www.idonowidont.com for my birthday this week, I decided to throw a halloween bash for my kids tonight. We all dressed up as Simpsons though we would love Star Wars costumes next year too!

    Aw. Love. That is the most awesome Leia.
    Walking: I'm REALLY hoping this whole thing is just platonic for exactly that reason.
