Silversun Pickups' Love of Ewoks Will Endor

[bonniegrrl]

Silversun Pickups drummer Christopher Guanlao is a Star Wars fan to the bone, which might explain why he has a German Sheppard dog named Kashyyyk, an email screen name of Guan Solo and the claim that his drums "can make the Kessel Run in 11 parsecs."

During his childhood on Halloween, Guanlao could be spotted going door to door collecting candy dressed as a cuddly Endor resident. "Once my mom made me this elaborate Ewok costume," Guanlao recalls. "It took her about two weeks to make. She got some pattern and really went with it. It was hot as hell. The cloth that she made it with was pretty thick and I added some pillows inside the costume to give my skinny frame a more Ewok-esque appearance. I thought I was the coolest Ewok!"
