When Tom Burns’ daughter asked him, “Do you think I could be Han Solo for Halloween?” his answer was, “Yeah, why, of course, you could. That would be amazing. Why couldn’t you be Han Solo?” Her tentative response: “Well…. I’m a girl.” To prove to his daughter that dressing up as a great character has nothing to do with whether you’re a girl or a boy, this Mighty Dad decided to dress up with her -- as Princess Leia! After his daughter expressed her concern about dressing up as Han Solo as a girl, Burns showed her photos of female cosplayers dressed as the popular Star Wars character. After that, his daughter was set on the costume and, since she and her father often dress in themed costumes for Halloween, she said to him: “Well, if I’m a Han Solo, you should probably be Princess Leia, I guess…” “She looked at me with an implied question in her eyes,” writes Burns, “And, c’mon, if I immediately told her YES, a girl can be Han Solo, it would’ve been pretty hypocritical of me to say Nope, a boy can’t be Princess Leia. So, as quickly as I could, I said, That would be FANTASTIC. I totally should be Leia. And that’s exactly what I did. Because that’s what dads do.
