Cosplay in the DC ‘burbs? Yes!

The 501st Legion also made an appearance…

These Star Wars cosplayers were clearly the highlight of the parade for me!

Nothing says “Christmas” like Darth Vader in a really large helmet–that thing was bordering on Spaceballs proportions, but the kids loved it.

Now this is how you kick off the Christmas season!
