The force is strong with this one. Maybe a little too strong. I mean there is a love of Star Wars and then there is a love that borders on obsession.
Witness the majesty of the planet Hoth's indigenous Tauntaun in costume form. This amazing, but slightly unsettling, Star Wars Tauntaun costume is jaw-droppingly time consuming but surely worth the effort. Yes, you too could become your very own steed with the help of a bit magic, some wood and some fake fur.
You can admire a video of its maker, Scott Holden, stalking about his garden Tauntaun style here.
I'm not sure how much good the costume would be at a house party though. I can see that learning the Jedi Mind Trick might be useful. Incidents where you destroy the entire contents of the mantelpiece while throwing a few Tauntaun dance moves to a bit of Christmas tune after too much mulled wine will be instantly forgotten.
