This is Darth Fairy, a custom-made costume by Booturtle for her daughter. It is, without any question, the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen. It’s tough to tell in that pic, but the end of the wand is actually a Death Star; you can see more pics here. I would love to give this girl an infinite amount of high-fives, if I weren’t a 30-something white man and my every interaction with a child not my own seemed suspicious if not outright sinister.

About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
