Star Wars Family Halloween Costumes: Family Bonding Done Right

It’s very rare for me toย findย Halloween costumes super cool nowadays, but when my aunt Joy Ampil-Galang posted photos of her family’s Star Wars costumes for Halloween this year, I actuallyย did a standing ovation in my head, put my phone down and applauded the photos. A FOR EFFORT!!!

Naturally, I asked her and her husband Neil Galang a few more questions about the costumes because,ย well, most of my family members aren’t Star Wars fans and getting them all to dress as anything as a family for Halloween would never, ever happen. Heck, even my five-year-old refuses to tandem up with me sometimes. Haha huhu.

Neil shares thatย they were inspired by comic con cosplayers and then decided to go full on with theirย Halloween costumes. He adds that the costumes areย 60% bought and 40% DIY, and Joy shares that it took them a fewย months to get everything done.

“Wicket’s costume was fun to build,” shares Joy. Neil explains, “We got an oatmeal bear and made a hood from rags that attaches with Velcro, while Joy added charms.

” Cute!!!

Their daughter Nina likes Queen Amidala, but isn’t big on dressing in gowns and princess-type outfits, so she went as Padme!

Their daughterย Kobi is an arte version ofย Boba Fett,ย so her hair highlights and makeup reflected his colors.

“The whole family did their share and it definitely bonded all of us,” says Joy. All of the costumes were very well done – don’t you think? I’m gonna go ahead and put this on my ‘Future Family Goals List’!!!
