Many bathmats died to bring us this costume.

So, yes… it’s pretty fantastic as far as cardboard costumes go.

But in the meantime: it’s still made of cardboard.

5) The 1977 Official Star Wars Chewbacca Costume for Kids

THANKS, 1977!

The only way the design of this Chewbacca costume could have been more lazy is if they plastered recycled artwork of The Wolfman’s face across the chest.

4) The Gorilla-Faced Chewbacca Costume

A compelling argument against gene-splicing technology: Gorilla Grodd crossed with a Wookiee. A super-smart gorilla who rips arms off all willy-nilly.

Good thing you’re not old enough to know better, Baby, because you look like a Fraggle who could easily be mistaken for a feather duster.

The last three things that should ever be made into “sexy” costumes: (3) Gary Busey. (2) Chewbacca. (1) Herpes.

Anderson: We need to get more exposure for our act. We should make a viral video.

Roe: Yeah, but we play the piano. No one cares about pianos. I mean, sure, we play our pianos rather vehemently, but… still.

Anderson: What if we played a Star Wars song? The internet gobbles up that kind of sh*t.

Roe: Good point. I’m sure if we post a YouTube video of our playing “The Imperial March,” some hapless geek blogger will immediately post it, for fear of someone else posting it first. The rules of blogging can only work in our favor.

Anderson: Indeed. And then some kid on Tumblr will pick it up, and–because it’s something quirky having to do with Star Wars–it’ll get reposted and reposted like some kind of virtual circle-jerk. We just have to sit back and enjoy the publicity.

Roe: Does everyone know about this formula? ‘Cause it seems like more people would be doing it, if it were so obvious.

Anderson: Five words for you: George Lucas lives for royalties.

Roe: Oh, right. Well. He’d never come after a couple of innocent-faced kids like us, would he?

And while you’re at it, make an offering to the gods of toy customization (glue and epoxy?) in hopes that Sillof eventually treats us to custom Star Wars figures in the style of Seinfeld.

In the name of science, obviously. The only question is whether Kramer would be C-3PO or Chewbacca. Tough call.
