Kid-Made Star Wars Paper Dolls
This is Lucas’s most recent invention: Star Wars “origami,” aka paper dolls. He started with Yoda first on Thursday night. Then proceeded to make nine more lickety-split. It helped that we had a much-admired adult friend over for dinner that night, I think. Lucas enjoys impressing her.
“Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.” (I love her hair!)
Luke and the droids: I suppose we should have used a sand-colored Tatooine backdrop for this one.
C-3PO is funny. You can almost hear him lecturing R2.
Lucas is proud of these paper creations. He helped pose them for these photos.
Here’s Darth Vader fighting Luke.
The bad guys: Storm Trooper and Darth Vader. You might not be able to see it, but the Storm Trooper has a blaster in his hand.
Somehow, these two, Han Solo and Chewbacca, have the most personality—just as in the film.
Lucas has seen only the first Star Wars film (Espisode 4). Nevertheless, Star Wars mythology features heavily in this 9-almost-10-year-old’s world. I think it’s beyond awesome that he makes his own Star Wars stuff to play with, since his stingy mama doesn’t buy SW toys.
