Jacob French dressed as a stormtrooper from the movie Star Wars pauses on day 5 of his 2500 mile journey from Perth to Sydney to talk with a young Star Wars fan at Port Bouvard bridge, July 15, 2011 in Perth, Australia. French aims to walk 22-25 miles a day, 5 days a week, in costume. French is walking to raise money for the Starlight Foundation - an organization that aims to brighten the lives of ill and hostpitalised children in Australia.
