I think it is cool. Everyone needs a hobby, and we all have different tastes. If he enjoys doing it, I say go for it.

loooooooosers - what could he have accomplished that was worthwhile with all that effort?

I think this is cool. Unlike most Americans, this guy wasn't lazy enough to just go and buy a cheap costume from the store. He worked hard to make this costume special and I think that deserves some credit. Keep it up dude!

Mr. Fordham and other members of his costuming group (in cooperation with the Make-a-Wish foundation) recently visited a young boy with an inoperable brain tumor. I'm sure that young man didn't think they were losers, and I find that extremely worthwhile.

Mark Fordham works on the electronic chest panel for his Darth Vader costume at his home in Provo. The panel has blinking lights, and his costume has a voice mike and a vacuum-molded helmet. (Douglas C. Pizac, Associated Press)
