The Star Wars Great Hidden Aussie BBQ.

A long time ago in a place far away, Mary Hitler was hosting a star wars costume party.

“Come as your favourite Star Wars character. Ok?” she said in the embossed invitations. “It’s going to be an Aussie BBQ because I don’t know what they all eat. You’re getting sausages.”

Ulrich was fighting with his brother over who would get to wear the adult sized, $89.99 Chewbacca costume. It looked eerily real, so much so that his mate, Cronin, was going to think that he had landed straight from the sets of the Star Wars shoot! He had tried it on and knew that it was extremely comfortable. It came with the furry body suit and an overhead latex mask, sash and pouch. He was going to look like a perfect Wookie and he couldn’t wait.

“I’ll give you five bucks if you let me wear it,” he said to Brad.

“Ok,” said Brad, "It's a deal."

Larry was over the moon. He had just splashed out $629.99 for the Darth Vader Supreme Edition costume and didn’t know where to wear it. Mary Hitler’s do had come just in the nick of time. He had saved $270 and was just tickled pink! The jumpsuit had quilted ‘Faux Leather’ pants and sleeves. The ominous and flaring cape came from Lucas Studios original patterns and everything! Heavy duty injection molded armor pieces were cast from the original Lucas Studios molds. He couldn’t ask for anything more.

The evening went off without a hitch. Ulrich boiled to bits in his Chewbacca suit in the Australian summer evening, but didn’t give off so much as a moan, he was enjoying being a Wookie so much. Larry stole the show with his breathing. He came down with a mild case of pneumonia which lasted quite some weeks afterwards, but it had all been worth it. Mary Hitler, you’ve done it again!
