Star Wars Day

At 9 years old, I stood in a 2.5 hour line in 1977 to see the original.

The week before, the line was over 4 hours.

I mail ordered from a cereal box, a set of action figures.

Turns out those were the first ever produced and weren't in the collector guides until 2010!

I made my own light saber replica in 1977 from a golf bag club protector and a flashlig.

Beating the actual toy to market by almost a whole year.

Did not see until 1980 when we watched on a beta tape. Been a geek ever sense. LOL.
I was 16 when it came out and we joked about it being a kiddie movie.
Boy was i wrong.
