Star Wars/Archetypal Hero Party

Today, I experienced a Star Wars-themed party for the very first time. A party, just a week and a half into the new school year!

For this party, I dressed as Darth Vader, everyone's favorite intergalactic villain. My costume consisted of a Darth Vader mask, which came with a Halloween costume I got back in elementary school. In order to match the Sith Lord's choice of dark attire, I wore a black jacket and black shorts. To top off the costume, I tied a dark gray cape around my neck to truly bring out Vader's essence as a robust imperial leader.

I also brought some snacks, which were my Imperial Fleeta Chips and Cheese. To make this dish, I first cut out about 30 large triangles and 30 small rectangles of both mozzarella and cheddar cheese. After spreading cheese dip on my triangular pita chips and triangles of cheese, I placed the mozzarella and cheddar on top of the chips to make shapes representing Imperial Star Destroyers from the movies. The whole process took a little over an hour. You can see what they look like below.

I then aligned the chips containing mozzarella and the chips containing cheddar on opposite sides of the pan, as if to display two different fleets of the Dark Side ships. Thus, my cheese and crackers snack truly represented an Imperial fleet, hence the name Imperial Fleeta (Pita) Chips and Cheese.
