I was watching The Clone Wars this AM on CN and right after it ended I looked out my window to see a freakin' Jedi! Well, not a real Jedi. It was my neighbor's kid in his Jedi cloak sporting a green light saber. We was pulling out all the jedi moves to destroy the invisible army of droids in the yard and using the force to push them away.
I got to thinking about how rad it would have been to have those costume items when I was a little kid. I mean, he actually looked like a real jedi! Well actually, more like a Jawa with a light saber. I had a crappy plastic darth vader costume in like 85 that my mom bought me at the Murphy's five and dime. You know the kind that had the elastic straps on the masks that hurt your ears? We had nothing like what the kids have today! And... I had to walk to school up hill, both ways, in a blizzard every day. Sheesh!

But at least we had light sabers back in the day....even if the blades never retracted at all or anything
I learned way back in Middle School that the newer generation will ALWAYS have it better than the older one. Case in point: In Middle School, at the end of the year we always had a class trip somewhere. 7th grade was to the state zoo 2 hours away, 8th grade was to Sea World, etc... Well the kids a year behind me went to places like Epcot and such when they were in the 7th grade! All we got was the freaking zoo at that grade! |

I always had a broom handle, painted blue, with a bike grip on the end. That was my lightsaber. Worked pretty good too... it made you a better swordsmith, because you were fighting against another broom handle - and if you weren't good - you'd get your knuckles smashed.

My mom used to hand sew costumes for my brother and I every Halloween.
1 year we were Batman and Robin. My mom was a crossing guard, and before I went to school full time I used to patroll her stop dressed as Batman every day with her. |
