Me as Darth Maul








In 1999 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was due to hit theaters. The excitement was in the air. I amongst thousands of fans had waited for 16 years since seeing the last Star Wars film Return of the Jedi in the theaters. In May a week before the release I participated in a Star Wars costume contest as the new villain the Sith Lord Darth Maul and won 1st place. I know it wasn't really Halloween but for one day that summer it felt like it. Using the picture from the toy that I had bought for my little brother, my twin painted my face and put the colored contacts in my eyes (I had never used contacts before and couldn't get them in). A purchased lightsaber, a black trench coat inside out under my martial arts gi, a thick vulcanized rubber belt and leather boots rounded out the rest of the costume. I know the horns are too big but we hadn't seen the movie yet so we didn't know, and it was hard to tell from the toy. The horns were standard devil horns. Now a days you can purchase "alien horns" that are closer to screen accurate but back then that was all there was. Two news stations covered the event and I won a cash prize as well as 500 bucks worth of vintage Star Wars toys, that I still have. Here is the toy I bought for my little brother that I based the makeup off of.
