Britney Spears and her mom Lynne took Jayden James and Sean Preston to see Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief yesterday evening in Calabasas. It's a PG-rated film — should her little SpiderMan-costumed tykes be seeing watching…

This is a child dressed as a helmet -less Darth Vader . Why any parent would subject their child to this sort of cruelty is beyond me. One look at himself in the mirror and that poor bastard is scarred for life. So creepy . I think I speak for us all when I say closing your eyes and imagining Darth Vader’s shriveled rutabaga head in Return of the Jedi is a surefire way to shoot down a rogue boner. Morbid Darth Vader Costume For Kids Looks Deadly! [walyou]

Now hear me out: you add some lights and sound effects , and then wear it while you ride around on your bike at night wearing all black. How cool would that be?! If you answered, “Ice f***ing cold!”, congratulations, you won the right to buy me a Zima. Damn right it’s coming back! Let’s high-five. No? I’m not a girl you’re a girl. Top-Heavy: Star Wars TIE Fighter Costume [greatwhitensnark] Thanks to David B., who drinks Mike’s Hard Lemonade and isn’t ashamed to admit it except he did explicitly ask me to not mention it in his shoutout. Woops.

Superherofhype forum member Masterle247 went and made himself a War Machine costume in anticipation of the new Iron Man 2 movie . It’s super impressive . And it would be even more impressive if he hadn’t posed in front of Talbots at the mall. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure all the moms shopping there were super tickled pink (read: horrified there’s a terrorist at the mall), I just would have posed in front of something a bit more serious. Like the Pretzel Palace or arcade. Or, if you could hold out a few months, with the Easter Bunny! Listen rabbit — you’ll tell me what you did with Jesus or I’ll blast your rodent brains all over this food court! Oooh, Orange Julius! Hit the jump for several more, including one of War Machine kicking back and drinking a Corona.

I never saw ‘ Up ‘ because I heard it was sad and, quite frankly, my life is sad enough. But if you did see the movie and were wondering what a real-life Russel would look like, your prayers have been answered. This: he would look like this. And, wait — are those all Boyscout Cookie eating badges? Picture Thanks to sham, who once tied like forty helium balloons to a picnic table and dined in the sky.

Would she look like this? Admittedly, at first I thought this was a ninja turtle with its shell on backwards, but then I spotted the helmet. Buzz Lightyear, right ? I jest! Booba Fett . Also, what in the hell’s that green thing standing behind you? Because I just put a $6 bounty on its head! *pew pew* Juuuuuust kidding! Nice shot though. Picture Thanks to wes, who admitted he’d let himself be hunted if it meant spending the night with Fett. Unfortunately it doesn’t, wes, just being shot.

In a mash-up of universes that’s about to make my head explode, it turns out Tusken Raiders love Scooby Snacks . And speaking of which — I’d like to see Scoob and the gang try pulling THAT dude’s mask off. Ruh-roh is right — you gonna die! Sand People like Scooby Snacks [tk8247's deviantart] Thanks to sham, who only tried Bantha fodder once and didn’t like it.

I hate out of season articles as much as you do, but this tauntaun Halloween costume by Scott Holden was too good not to post. Plus, I’d have already forgotten about it by the time Halloween rolls around next year (booze). Scott made this amazing costume from scratch. Using designs made in Solidworks, he started to outline the Tauntaun. The head mold was detailed using clay, then a mold was made , then it was cast, and on and on. The horns were made in almost the same manner. Never thought an animal would have a chassis did you? Well this beast does! This component too made completely from scratch and the best bit of this costume? The costume walks and is not a static display. Scott had to fabricate his own stilts to make this beast complete. Good looking, Scott! The costume, not you. I mean, you’re handsome and all, but that’s not what this is about — this is about the costume. But yours eyes….it’s like you can see right through my computer screen and know I’m not wearing anything but a smile and Ewok pelt. Hit the jump for a bunch of the process and a video of the costume in action.
