Star Wars - Storm Troopers and a Jawa

I have a friend who is a big fan of Star Wars.  She fan girls over our local troupe of storm-troopers and Darth Vader, and carries a messenger bag with Star Wars imagery   She's also really cute.  Why she is still single I have no idea.  Really, she's cute, nerdy, and awesome.  Anyone want her number?

Anyways, have a couple of storm-troopers and a Jawa cosplayer.  I wonder if the Jawa is a really, really short person, or a child.  If it's a child then those parents are doing it right.

And if it is a child cosplaying as a Jawa, are those the parents in the storm-trooper outfits?
