No one does Halloween like TODAY, which begs the question: What will the anchors dress up as this year?

To gear up for this year's event on Monday, we're taking a look back at some of the highlights of two decades of Halloween celebrations on TODAY.

A long time ago, on a plaza far, far away ... actually, it was just five years ago that the TODAY anchors dressed up as the cast of "Star Wars," covering all the major characters, from Luke Skywalker (Matt) to Princess Leia (Meredith) to Yoda (Hoda, of course). And who could forget those crazy Ewoks? The Force was strong on the plaza that year — check out more photos here.
