The Empire Strikes Back

Good morning my young padawan learners,

The dark side has made its latest strike attack at us UK costumers, so this will be specifically aimed at you guys.

I overlooked the fact that most/all of the links that I have put on my page under Costuming Links on the right hand side are USA based companies and that once you have paid for the items and shipping costs you WILL be liable to pay TAX & IMPORT DUTIES my crude calculations have worked it out to be about 30% of the total amount you have paid including shipping costs,but please DO NOT quote me on this, if I were you and I was going to buy from a USA based website I would e-mail first and they could probably tell you either an exact or apporximate amount that you would pay on top of the total price and shipping costs.

Some of the USA based websites actually work this out for you and to be honest its swings and roundabout as the amount that you pay in the UK for a costume is probably double what you would pay in the USA, this is just a WARNING for one and all!!

Today I will again trawl the Internet for UK based companies that sell an assortment of Star Wars Costumes and I will provide the links on my page.


May the force be with you.... Always

I have a VERY good feeling about this!!

Hello my Padawan Learners,

As you can see I've had a fantastic day... After finding many websites that sell a variety of Star Wars Costumes not only has it made my life easier by informing friends and family but I've actually been able to create the links on my blog.

Please see below right column for a list of very helpful links to websites that provide Star Wars Costumes & Accessories.

I have visited each and every one of them personally and I will continue my quest over the next few weeks to update and upgrade this section to give a comprehensive index of reputable sites.

If you are actually invited to My Wedding then please do not hesitate to use the links provided and start shopping!!

Don't forget there's not long to go and you don't want to be the only one without a suitable costume!!

I have also added the video blog which has been initially setup with the infamous Star Wars Kid Video... Load it up and Check it out... It's Hilarious!!


May the force be with you.... Always

Searching for Costumes & Ideas

Hi all,

Spent the whole of last night trawling the internet looking for Han Solo's blaster and droid caller!!

No joy really, no-one seems to do a cheap but good one... Mostly .33 Replica's or the Master Replica Han Solo Blaster which is very very expensive!! Definately too much for costuming.

Anyone out there know where I can get a good one??

Found alot of American websites that do decent Full Jedi Costumes and the main characters such as:

Stormtroopers Darth Vader Darth Maul Jango Fett
Princess Leia Queen Amidala Padme Chewbacca and what seems to be a very poor Yoda.

I did however find a good website for the latex masks of such characters as:

Greedo Kit Fisto Jango Fett Jar Jar Binks Darth Vader Tusken Raiders Clone Troopers Yoda Sebulba C3PO Rune Hakko Even Piell Ki-Adi-Mundi among others!!

I shall continue my quest for my costume and others... I will update with some helpful links soon.


May the force be with you.... Always

I will also list useful sites that I have purchased items from and include any sites that I have used for reference with costuming for the wedding.

I will also be adding a list of costuming ideas for people and a who's who so far, so if you need any advice on costumes or ideas or just want to air your views on Our Big Day... just log on and let me know!!

May the force be with you.... Always
