Who's Your Daddy?

Star Wars caps off Movie Night '04 beautifully. The men, Obi-Wan and Luke, bravely brandish their light sabers at...um...to protect the Leias.





If you can take your eyes off Laurie for a moment, check out the drink in Angela's (the lesser Leia's) hand: toxic waste with star fruit.


Best costume accessory: The jawa's glowing red eyes. An inspired choice by Lisa. Even Laurie's shameless near-nudity could not upstage the Jawa. We had high expectations of Lisa's costume, considering the obsessive secrecy surrounding it, and she did not fail to deliver.


In the running for best movie night photo. Peyton's reaction: Dad, how did you do that?



Star Wars

Movie Night Costume as Personality Test: Angela, the lover of details and a stickler for rules, picks the perfect costume and hair for the Leia character in Star Wars. Laurie, camera loving, attention-hogging diva, picks the most famous and body baring costume of the Star Wars trilogy, even though it was not a costume in Star Wars. Lisa, supporting character, geek who never met a spreadsheet she didn't like, makes a costume that requires batteries and working parts, but forgets details, like gloves. And the men, well, they looked fabulous (as usual, damn them).

Most shameless attention-getting ploy: Gold bikini, anyone? Did it work? What do you think?

Guest(s): MattBob was in town (and staying at Angela's) but refused to dress up. Hissss. He's only partially forgiven for taking pictures and praising our costume skills.

I'm Chewie.

According to OKCupid.com (great - I'm on their mailing list now), Chewbacca epitomises the idea of a "gentle giant" -- someone whose stature is intimidating but who is actually very kind and caring. In many ways he's very similar to Han Solo, his best friend, but he's much more comfortable with his emotions.

Chewie is, in a word, sweet.

For about 30 seconds Laurie considered coming as Chewie. Frankly, I think she was looking for an excuse to make the Chewie sound over and over in the costume shop. That gold bikini was hers all along.

Emphasis on "princess."

Sometimes, emphasis on "crazy."

Yoda
You scored 50% airiness, 36% squishiness, and 68% edginess!
According to our patented JawamaticTM technology, you are most like Yoda in personality.

A traditionalist at heart, Yoda has honed his intuition through hundreds of years of meditation and study. But don't let that fool you -- he believes the old ways are the best ways. To him, the known is preferable to the unknown.

Yoda is, in a word, reliable.

(The polar opposite of Yoda is Luke Skywalker.)
