Joel Chandler Harris, a story teller from the 1800's who wrote The Uncle Remus series of children's books from which the movie by Disney, "The Song of the South".

I do not consider this a racial issue, but rather an art issue.
Yes I would.
At some point we have to quit being so sensitive about our differences and embrace our differences. We have shown that overt racism cannot be tolerated on any level, but now we need to be able to look at that period as a time of growth and realize it in a historical context instead of a racism context.
It is time to start getting over ourselves and realize that we our views changing and start putting it behind us.

Since 1969, Sesame Street had given Jim Henson's Muppet creations exposure; however, Henson began to perceive that he was pigeonholed as a children's entertainer. He sought to create a program that could be enjoyed by young and old. Two specials were produced and aired that are considered pilots for The Muppet Show. Neither led to the sale of a prime-time network series. However, the prime-time access rule had just been enacted, which took the 7:30 to 8pm ET slot from the networks and turned it over to their affiliates. CBS suggested it would be interested in Henson's proposal as a syndicated series it could purchase for its owned-and-operated stations, to run one night a week in that time slot.[citation needed]
Lew Grade, head of the British commercial station ATV, offered a deal to Henson that would see his show produced at the ATV studios in Elstree, England. ATV, as part of the ITV network, would broadcast the show to other ITV stations in the United Kingdom, and its distribution arm, ITC Entertainment, would sell the show in the United States and around the world. Henson put aside his misgivings about syndication and accepted.[citation needed]
At first, signing guests was a challenge and producers had to call on their personal contacts. The breakthrough was the appearance of the ballet dancer, Rudolf Nureyev. His appearance on such an unusual show generated such positive publicity that the series became one of the sought-after productions to appear in[citation needed]. The Muppet Show premiered in 1976 and finally, after five years and 120 episodes, it went off the air in 1981 because of Henson's desire to move on to other projects and the withdrawal of ATV's membership of the ITV network.

Recurring skits
Fozzie Bear and Rowlf the Dog perform "English Country Garden" on episode 218 of The Muppet Show
At the Dance The sketch was a regular during the first season but was used less frequently from the second season onward. Muppet characters circulated on a semi-formal dance floor offering rapid fire one-liner jokes and come-backs as the couples passed in front of the camera.
Bear on Patrol Fozzie is an unlucky police officer and Link Hogthrob is his incompetent superior who always get into the silliest situations with the criminals brought in. The voice of the announcer was performed by Jerry Nelson.
Fozzie's Act Fozzie Bear gets on stage and performs his infamously bad jokes. Statler and Waldorf heckle him, in a perpetual rivalry. The sketches became less frequent as Fozzie's off-stage presence became more prevalent. In one first season episode however, Fozzie turned the tables on his rivals with help from Bruce Forsyth, and they waved the white flag in surrender.
Muppet Labs Segments featuring the latest invention from Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, with his assistant, Beaker, getting the worst of its inevitable malfunction. The character of Beaker was introduced in the second season; during the first season Bunsen hosted Muppet Labs by himself, but the writers soon realized that another character was necessary to show Bunsen's failings.
Muppet News Flash A news announcer, a variation of the Guy Smiley puppet[citation needed], gives a newsbrief only to have some disaster befall him (typically the same disaster he was just describing), or another strange scenario: such as the time that he ran on, stated "There is no news tonight.", and ran off. In the first season, the Muppet News Man read out news items that occasionally featured the guest star for that week playing a character that was somehow involved in the item. Muppet News Flashes often used absurdist humor; in one sketch, the announcer stated that the Atlantic Ocean had been kidnapped. Another example is this statement: Reports are coming in from all over the world that Television News Reporters are blowing up. These unlikely rumors are... KA-BOOM! A third example, a cross-over with the Swedish Chef, has the Swedish Chef open and cause a wine bottle "explosion" (if a bottle is shook too much before opening it for the first time, fizz will shoot up and out of the bottle) and flies through the air, classified as a UFO by the news reporter. As the scene goes, he was reported directly above the Muppet News Room and he landed on and crushed the news reporter.
Pigs in Space Parody of science fiction shows like Star Trek, but also old '30s sci-fi serials. The spacecraft is called USS Swinetrek and the title voice-over is a parody of main Star Trek competitor Lost in Space. It features Captain Link Hogthrob, Miss Piggy as first mate, and Dr. Julius Strangepork (the name a takeoff on "Dr. Strangelove"). Usually, the sketches would involve the long-suffering Piggy putting up with the wacko Strangepork and the brain dead Link treating her as an inferior because she is a woman. The early sketches also usually featured odd introductions for all the characters, such as calling Link the flappable captain, Miss Piggy the flirtatious first mate, and referring to Dr. Strangepork as 'describable.' Strangepork usually got the most unusual description out of the three during these introductions, as he was the oddest member of the group. This portion of the introduction was dropped during the third season, and the announcer would simply claim it was 'time for...Piiiiiigs...iiiin...spaaaaaaace!'
Swedish Chef Cooking show parody. It consists of the Swedish Chef, who speaks mock Swedish, semi-comprehensible gibberish which parodies the characteristic vowel sounds and intonation of Swedish. He attempts to cook a dish with great enthusiasm, until the punch line hits. A hallmark of these sketches was the improvisation between Jim Henson, who performed the Chef's head and voice, and Frank Oz, who was his hands. One would often make something up on the spot, making the other puppeteer comply with the action. Famous gags include "chickie in du baskie" ("two points!"), meatballs that bounce, chocolate "moose", attempting to cook Kermit's nephew and perhaps most famously, repeatedly adding pepper to a recipe.
Vend-a-face A vending machine that offers unique face-changing services usually agonizing contortions of the Muppets who feed the machine. It was originally intended to be a one-time sketch. However, because the Vend-a-face puppet was so costly to make, it was used multiple times to justify its creation. One sketch that did not deal with mock face lifts was when it claimed to dispense psychological advice, and repeatedly asks Fozzie Bear to deposit another coin. After Fozzie does this several times, Vend-a-Face tells him, "Your problem is: you are too generous".
Veterinarian's Hospital Parody of the soap opera General Hospital and other medical dramas, consisting of Dr. Bob (Rowlf) cracking corny jokes in the operating room with Nurses Piggy and Janice, much to the confusion of the hapless patient. Each installment ends with Dr. Bob and his nurses looking around in puzzlement as a disembodied narrator tells viewers to tune in next time to the "continuing stooory". On a number of occasions, the "Veterinarian's Hospital" sketch would crossover with the cast or set of another, such as "At the Dance" or "Pigs in Space." In the first season the narrator was usually voiced by John Lovelady, but Jerry Nelson originally performed the role in the Harvey Korman and Rita Moreno episodeshe first two episodes in recording order that had the sketchefore taking over the role permanently from the Phyllis Diller episode. In the introduction, Dr. Bob went from "a former orthopedic surgeon" to "a quack" who's "gone to the dogs."
Wayne and Wanda Usually introduced by Sam the Eagle as part of his idea of "good, wholesome entertainment", Wayne and Wanda a slapstick tribute to Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald sing songs that inevitably end in disaster. It is considered an accomplishment for them to get to the chorus. After a recurring run in the first season, they disappeared after Wanda's puppeteer, Eren Ozker, quit the show. Wayne still appeared occasionally as a background character or as the hero in a series of Melodrama sketches co-starring Miss Piggy and Uncle Deadly, but soon vanished as well. It was eventually revealed that Kermit had fired them, but forgot why he did and decided to rehire them. Unfortunately, seconds after they started to sing, Kermit remembered why he fired them (because they were terrible) and instantly fired them again and forced them off the stage. Wayne and Wanda would reappear in The Muppets Take Manhattan as guests at the wedding of Piggy and Kermit, and Wanda was seen participating in a choir.
List of guest stars
Harry Belafonte with The Muppets on The Muppet Show, performing one of the series' most celebrated performances, "Turn The World Around."
No guest star ever appeared twice on The Muppet Show, although John Denver appeared both on the show and in two specials (John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas Together and John Denver & the Muppets: Rocky Mountain Holiday). Additionally, several guest stars from the show had cameos in one of the first three Muppet theatrical films.
One unusual guest star was one of the series writers, Chris Langham, who took the place for Richard Pryor when the star was unable to attend taping[citation needed]. The last episode, in 1981, featured then-James Bond 007 actor Roger Moore.
Many episodes featured people most UK viewers had barely heard of at the time, such as Linda Ronstadt, some featured veteran performers like Ethel Merman and Rita Moreno, some featured well-known pop singers, including Elton John and Leo Sayer - the latter featured Leo Sayer singing his hit "The Show Must Go On" - he changed the lyrics in the second verse slightly, from "I wish I could tear down the walls of this theatre" to "I wish I could tear down the walls of this Muppet theatre".
List of The Muppet Show episodes
The Muppet Theater
The Muppet Theater is the setting for The Muppet Show -- a grand old vaudeville house that has seen better days. In episode 106, Kermit identifies the name of the theater as The Benny Vandergast Memorial Theater, although by the time of It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, it is simply called "The Muppet Theater." It is then that the theater becomes registered as a historical landmark.
According to The Phantom of the Muppet Theater, the theater was built by a stage actor named John Stone in 1802. At some point a production of Hamlet ran in the theater, with Stone playing the title role. An alternate exterior is also shown in the book.
Locations seen in the Muppet Theater include backstage right, the dressing rooms, the attic, the canteen, the prop room, the stage, the house, the stage door lobby, and the back alley.
Scooter's uncle J.P. Grosse owns the theater, and rents it to the Muppets, as Scooter is only too happy to remind Kermit. In a deleted scene from It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Kermit reveals that J.P. has died and left the theater to the Muppets in his will. This would have taken place sometime after 1996, as J.P. can be seen (and referred to as such by the head of the KMUP network) in episode 107 of Muppets Tonight, the 1990s reworking of The Muppet Show.

Syndication
Reruns of The Muppet Show aired in syndication for many years and eventually turned up onTNT from the channel's sign-on in 1988 to 1992. From 1994 to 1997, reruns aired on Nickelodeon. In 1999, the reruns moved to Odyssey Network (which was co-owned by Henson's company), featuring new introductions by Brian Henson, until Odyssey shut down Henson's half of the channel in 2001; it has not been seen on American television since.
Outside the US, The Muppet Show and MuppeTelevison segments and Muppets Tonight were all put into an umbrella syndication package called The Jim Henson Hour. Disney Channel UK picked up the original series from 2005-2007.
DVD releases
Time-Life began marketing 'best of' volumes of The Muppet Show for mail-order in 2001, with six initial volumes with 3 episodes on each DVD. Unique to each episode was an introduction by Jim Henson's son, Brian. Nine more volumes were added for 2002, the Muppet's 25th anniversary. The collection was available for retail in 2002 via Columbia Pictures Home Video by which time Time-Life had released its tenth volume. (There were five additional Time-Life 'best of' volumes released only on VHS.)
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, a division of The Walt Disney Company, released the first season on DVD in Region 1 on August 9, 2005. The rights to the episodes and characters used in The Muppet Show, and subsequent film outings, were bought in February 2004 by The Walt Disney Company.
Several songs were cut from the Season 1 DVD release due to music licensing issues. There have also been some cuts in the intro sequence, and backstage scenes leading up to these songs. However, episodes that used Disney music remained unaltered (for example, episode 14 of Season 1 used "Never Smile at a Crocodile" from Peter Pan).

Spin-offs
The Muppet Show characters went on to star in The Muppet Movie, which was the first film to feature puppets interacting with humans in real-world locations, and later films such as The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets from Space, and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz.
The Jim Henson Hour featured many of the same characters, plus new and boldly different content. The Muppets appeared as toddlers in the long-running animated series Muppet Babies. The Muppet Show format was later revived as Muppets Tonight in 1996. The first 10 episodes aired on ABC while the rest aired on The Disney Channel. Today, all three incarnations are syndicated together as a single package.
In 2005, the Muppets launched an award-winning webseries titled Statler and Waldorf: From the Balcony. The biweekly webshow created new episodes for 15 months on movies.com and starred Statler and Waldorf along with many other popular Muppet characters from their theater box from The Muppet Show. Each episode featured the duo as they discuss upcoming films, watch movie trailers and share the week's "balconism".
There is talk of a new revival of the format, with FOX being the initial serious contender.[citation needed] Disney considered using the America's Next Muppet mini-series to test the viability of a full-fledged series.
The hit Broadway and West End Musical Avenue Q is loosely based on The Muppets as well as Sesame Street but is required to provide disclaimers stating that it has nothing to do with the characters, particularly due to the musical's adult theme.
The Muppets were brought back in 2008 for a short on the Disney Channel called Studio DC: Almost Live.
For the muppets.com channel on Disney Xtreme Digital, over 100 new, web-exclusive sketches have been produced as of January 2009.
The Muppet Show Comic Book began publication in 2009 written and drawn by Roger Langridge and published by Boom! Studios.
In France, in 2006, the first French private TV network TF1 produced with Walt Disney a new version with originals Muppets and French guest stars. Low ratings killed the program after few months.

Is there a way to cram a lifetime's worth of a comic book fan's knowledge of Marvel & DC into a couple weeks?
I'm a fan of comic book characters being made into feature films like Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man etc, but I hate that I don't know enough about the legend to really enjoy the movie - is there, like, a book or encyclopedia that's like a condensed compendium of every Marvel & DC Comics character ever created?
Or an animated series? Or five..
****ALSO!! Do u guys belong to some kind of website that tells you ahead of time what new comic book movies are coming out?
One way is to visit the publishers' site.
DC Comics has mini online comics on Superhero origins and History of the DC Universe.
http://www.dccomics.com/dcu/heroes_and_villains/
Marvel Comics has something a little similar though I find it more confusing at times. But they give summary descriptions of characters, or teams, or events (like Civil War).
http://marvel.com/universe/Main_Page
There are also books available that you can either buy or read at your local bookstore.
Marvel Encyclopedia
Aren't we lucky! Star Wars Fandex Deluxe is a perfect meeting of format and content, bringing all the virtues of Fandex to the supergalactic saga of our times, delivering an obsessive deck for the obsessive fan (and the perfect cheat sheet for parents who want to know what their kids are talking about)...
Modern myths, cheap trash or the objects of fetishist desire? Most people know something about Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman, even if what they know is heavily filtered through film and television versions, rather than the comics in which they first appeared. Yet, even though the continuity of the DC and Marvel Comics universes rival or surpass in size almost anything else in Western culture, surprisingly little attention has been paid to comics, which we are supposed to grow out of. In "Superheroes ," acclaimed cultural commentator Roz Kaveney argues that this is a mistake, that, at their best, superhero comics are a form in which some writers and artists are doing fascinating work, not in spite of their chosen form, but because of it. "Superheroes " discusses the slow accretion of comic universes from the thirties to the present day, the ongoing debate within the conventions of the superhero comic about whether superheroes are a good thing and the discussion within the comics fan community of the extent to which superhero comics are disfigured by misogyny and sexism. Roz Kaveney attempts to explain the differences between Marvel and DC, the notion of the floating present (or why Spider-Man, fifteen when he adopted the costume, is still only in his early thirties), and the various attempts by both companies to re-invent and re-boot individual characters and their entire continuity universes. She also looks at the influence of comics on the group of film and television screenwriters she calls "the fanboy creators," all of whom moonlight as comics script writers, using Joss Whedon as her case study, and examines the adaptation of well-known comics into large-budget feature films, not always to the advantage of the material.
Here are 100 of the most important, most incredible, and most bizarre comic-book covers from DC's incredible archives all perforated and ready to display in your apartment, dorm room, or cubicle. From Action Comics #1 and Batman #1 to lesser-known heroes like Mister District Attorney, this oversized compilation features every major milestone in DC's extraordinary history: Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Watchmen, Fables, 100 Bullets, and much more. On the reverse of each poster are images of related covers and entertaining commentary, often with remarks from the cover artists themselves. Complete with a foreword from longtime DC Comics veteran Paul Levitz, this amazing anthology is a must-have item for any comic-book fan.
There's been a great deal of film news lately for DC Comics fans to chew over. First off Zack Snyder was confirmed as the director of the upcoming Superman reboot and then the title of the third Christopher Nolan Batman was revealed as The Dark Knight Rises.
However, one of the biggest film trailers to hit the web in the last few weeks must surely be the first for DC and Warner Bros' The Green Lantern. For those who don't know the backstory of this popular, but as yet untested superhero, his name has been bestowed upon many an alter ego in years gone by.
Since 1940, the man behind the green mask has been Alan Scott, Guy Gardner, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner, to name just a few. But, for his first silver screen outing, the Lantern will be Hal Jordan - a gifted, yet somewhat hot-headed test pilot, who has been selected by the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps to help protect the Universe from a new and terrifying enemy known as Parallax.
Directed by Martin Campbell - who's previous credits include two Zorro movies and James Bond reboot Casino Royale - the movie is set for a June 2011 release and will star Ryan Reynolds as the title character. As a huge comic book fan who has already starred as Deadpool in 2009's X Men Origins: Wolverine, there is a lot of hope that Reynolds will be able to do justice to the beloved character when he dons the famous green suit and magical ring that give him the necessary unearthly powers to bring balance to the cosmos.
While film reviews are a long way off on this one, there's no real doubt that this is going to be one of the biggest flicks of 2011. The internet is already buzzing about this new trailer and the bloggers are busy dissecting all of the tiniest elements of the footage to see how much they can glean on what to expect. Some have speculated that the jokey nature of Reynolds' Green Lantern is not really in keeping with the more serious spirit of the original comic series, while others have welcomed the lightness of touch the actor is bringing to the performance. One thing is for sure, next year a new DC Comics superhero will arrive on the block and will get his shot at lining up to the likes of Batman and Superman.

Iron Man 2 Trailer
Iron Man 2 Movie Trailer E.M. Hammer
You wanted it and now it's here: Iron Man 2 is coming to a theater near you this spring. The question of course is what it's about and when the official trailer is going to come out. We don't have the official trailer yet, but we can tell you a little something about to expect in the next movie.
First off, Jon Favreau has been brought back to direct the sequel after he stunned the box office with his smash success back in 2008 and Robert Downey Jr., whose career had been in something of a nose dive is coming back as well, reprising his role as Peter Stark, the Iron Man himself. This time, our hero will face off against old comic book favorites Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) and Whiplash (Mickey Rourke).
Readers will recall that the first movie ended with Stark admitting to his true identity as Iron Man and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury visiting him to discuss the “Avenger Initiative.” This time around, Stark is dealing with the consequences of his rash decision and the subsequent fame and infamy that come from admitting his superhero status. He is battling an increasing drinking problem and being confronted by his strange new secretary, Natasha, who just so happens to be a super spy in her own right, the Black Widow (played by Scarlett Johansson ).
Of course Pepper Potts (still played by Gwyneth Paltrow) is back as well and is now the CEO of Stark Industries. We can only imagine all the tension on the set and in the movie between her and Johansson's Black Widow. Still, Paltrow has promised fans that this will not be the typical bout between two women fighting for the same man, telling Entertainment Weekly that this is not going to be your standard cat fight. Instead, it will be more nuanced, providing for a level of sexual tension sure to thrill movie goers this spring.
Missing from the original cast is Terrence Howard, who played Stark's best friend, Lt. Colonel James “Rhodey” (War Machine) Rhodes. He is being replaced by Don Chedle of Oceans 11 and Hotel Rwanda fame.
So what will the new movie be about? Well we do know this: Favreau has promised that the movie will explore Stark's alcoholism but will not be a rehash of the comic story, Demon in a Bottle. Rather, says Iron Man Robert Downey Jr., it's going to be kind of an interim story, taking place somewhere between Iron Man's Origins and the Demon in a Bottle Story.
The one thing we can say for sure about the movie is that it's going to hot and action packed. But for more details, we're going to have to wait for that movie trailer, which should be arriving shortly on a screen near you.
how is Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi comparable to today's world?
I have a school assignment, where i have to compare the movie Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi (1983), with the post 9/11 world. I was thinking Darth Vader and the "Death Star" could be al qaeda as a start. Any more suggestions?
Vader and the Empire would not be symbolic of Al Qaeda.
The events of Return of the Jedi would more appropriately correlate to the change in presidency between the Bush and Obama administrations.
If you look at the entire Star Wars saga of all six films there are a number of parallels between the fall of the Old Republic (and the subsequent rise of the Empire) and how the Bush administration conducted itself after the events of 9-11-2001.
Technically, a Star Wars analogy could apply to both "The World in General" and "The USA specifically", though most tend to use Star Wars towards just the USA and the Bush Administration. To apply Star Wars to describe the world and recent events then you would have to make the following corollaries:
The Old Republic = The United Nations*
Coruscant = The USA
The Empire = The USA and Allies under the Bush Administration
Emperor Palpatine and the Sith = Dick Cheney and the Neo-Cons**
Darth Vader = George W. Bush
The Separatists = Terrorist Sponsors
The Clone Wars = The War On Terror
The Rebellion = U.S. Citizens and US Allies in opposing Bush policies
Before the start of the Clone Wars (War on Terror) disputes between the member worlds (countries) of the Old Republic (United Nations) were given every effort to be handled diplomatically. The Sith (Neo-Conservatives**) manipulated events in order to gain power and influence over the galaxy (world). With the start of the Clone Wars (War on Terror) member worlds (countries) were forced to pick a side either to align with Coruscant and the Republic core (USA, Britain, and allies) or the Separatists (Terrorist Sponsors).
With the Rise of the Empire (The USA under the Bush Administration) there were many worlds (countries) were controlled, manipulated, and/or influenced by the New Order (Bush/Cheney policies) to follow the Empire. The lack of diplomacy, democracy, constant oppression and war under the Empire (Bush admin) caused many worlds (countries) to grow weary and long for the freedom and peace that exsisted before the Empire (Bush Admin).
Even in its early days there were those that would oppose the dictatorial and warmongering policies of the Empire (Bush Admin) and sow seeds Rebellion. After years of war and the end of the Empire (Bush Admin) a return to the ideals of diplomacy, peace, freedom, and democracy was ushered in with the New Repbulic.
*The original intent of the United Nations was to serve as the means for countries of the world to settle differences through diplomacy and peaceful means, but the UN never achieved this potential because the creation of NATO and Warsaw Pact alliances were used to circumvent the UN and allow the two superpowers of the USA and USSR to grab power and influence. This robbed the UN of it's power to bring peace and stability to the world, hence the Cold War.
**Neo-Conservatives hold to the line of "might makes right" and believe that the USA should use whatever military power (over diplomacy or economic influence) it can bring to bear in order to influence and control other nations. Many conspiracy theorist believe the events of 9-11-2001 were ochestrated (or allowed to happen) by the Neo-Cons like Dick Cheney so that the USA would have a reason to rebuild its military to Cold War levels (and larger) and then establish military control in new countries. This would coralate to how the Sith manipulated events in the Star Wars prequels, but I don't but into much of the conspriracy theory. I think 9-11 was an act of complacency (not conspiracy) on the part of the Bush admin and the Neo-Cons took advantage of the situation to push their agenda.

Halloween Outfits - Star Wars Costumes and Accessories
The numerous Star Wars movies have their fans and critics, but one thing is for sure - no one can resist the chance to do a bit of play-acting in a Luke or Anakin Skywalker or Princess Leia costume. While Halloween is the perfect chance for you to publicly announce your affiliation to these movie heroes (or anti heroes), Star Wars costumes are also suitable for many other occasions - fancy dress contests, sci-fi conventions, and cosplay.
Show your support for the Jedi knights, Clone Troopers, Han Solo, Obi Wan Kenobi, Padme Amidala, Yoda, R2D2 by buying Star Wars costumes and Star Wars masks and accessories. If you are a fan of any of the minor characters from the Star Wars universe, no problem - just order Qui Gon Jinn, Jar Jar Binks, Ewok, Boba Fett, or Count Dooku Star Wars costumes. Darth Vader, for all his socially unacceptable ways, remains a popular character, and there is always a huge demand for Star Wars costumes inspired by his masks, capes, and light sabers.
You need to select the entire costume and all accessories to lend authenticity to your getup. Thankfully, these can be found through online costume stores that sell kits for a particular character. Included in the kit is a true to life costume and accessories - complete with beards, mustaches, and false teeth. So you don’t have to worry about playing Darth Vader without a cape because you forgot to order one.
Size It Right
A poor fitting can spoil the look. When choosing Star Wars costumes, it is important that you get the size right, especially since many of the costumes and accessories are not returnable. Buying the right size costume online can be a little challenging. Just make sure you buy one size larger than you usually do. While women's sizes are the regular 0-18, men need to request costumes by waist diameter. For children, buy two sizes larger than what you normally do because children may need extra clothes underneath to keep warm. Star Wars costumes offer a great chance for you to experience the adventure and action of the movie series, whether you are a kid, a teen, or an adult.
