Yes, I'm one of those old mofos who was lucky enough to have had his parents bump uglies 5-10 years before STAR WARS premiered. And there's something very cool about retro pics of other fans caught up in the phenomenon back in the day - so if you have some, post 'em up! This is where the obsession began for me...
The first two pics are from the annual "hobby show" that was held at my grammar school. I'm guessing that these are 1979 & 1980, respectively (pre-Empire toy release).
Halloween, 1977 - Me as Han Solo, although there's a lot of "cowboy" in that costume, so you'll have to take my word for it. The real star is my neighbor, Wayne, with the super-legit Vader costume.
Halloween, 1979 - Luke this time - but again with the cowboy gear. :unsure I remember my mom made the tunic and I wore the Hell out of it after Halloween.
