Meet 'Pink Shorts Boom Guy.'
Stroll the floor of any sci-fi fan convention, and you're bound to see costume enthusiasts dressed as fairly typical Star Wars characters. Think Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and Jedi Knights.
For years, that man has gone largely anonymous to casual Star Wars fans. His name doesn't even appear in the film's credits. But the newfound attention from cheeky costumers brings a smile to the man behind the shorts, otherwise known as Ken Nightingall. Filmmaker Roger Christian, who served as a set decorator on"Star Wars" said conditions in Tunisia were horrendous.Nightingall's son, Terence, said his dad, like most of the crew, was initially skeptical of the George Lucas space opera.
"They went up to Buckingham Palace and had lunch in the garden with the royal family," Terence Nightingall said."They all went off dressed in top hat and tails, picked up in a Rolls Royce." "Finding an obscure character like that and having fun with it is absolutely the biggest thrill for us," Copeland said."Star Wars shaped our lives. This is something we love doing."
"The pink booty shorts are so delightful," Eve said from her home in Sydney."I just think it's fantastic. It's hands down my favorite costume right now."
