The kids got the stencils off the internet we just re sized them and printed them on plain paper. Then we tacked them to the pumpkin and used a tack to poke through the stencil on the lines removed the stencil and cut the shapes out. Took about two hours, and there you go.
Edit: Sorry Fu Bag I tried to put up pictures I took with my phone but I don't know how, evidently I'm the only one who can see them, after I posted them, anyway I carved Yoda, my son did a storm trooper, and his girl friend did super mario.
