Conversation with a young man(5 years of age, more or less) last night at the Edendale bar:
BOY: (something incoherent)
ME: I'm sorry?
BOY: What're you going to be for Halloween?
ME: You know, I was thinking about going as an army guy.
BOY: I'm going to be Darth Vader.
ME: Nice. That's a great costume.
BOY: Darth Vader has a lightsaber.
ME: Yeah! That's awesome.
BOY: I'm also going to have a blaster.
ME: wait, what...?
BOY: Darth Vader has a lightsaber but I'm also going to have a blaster. Because I have a blaster gun at home.
ME: Blasters are awesome but isn't a lightsaber more awesome?
BOY: Yeah. I'm going to carry the blaster in my back pocket.
ME: ....so...you're going to conceal it?
BOY: Yeah.
Something tells me that Luke Skywalker isn't going to be happy by this sudden turn of events in the Star Wars story. If any of you see Luke, you might want to recommend he pat down Vader before they walk into the Emperor's Throne Room.
