I’ve been meaning to post some pictures to the Growing Up Star Wars Flickr Group for a while now, so this as good a time as any to start going through the boxes and boxes of completely disorganized photos and see what else I can find to embarrass myself with each week.
Washington Irving Elementary – Durant, Oklahoma – October 1978
I think I had maybe a dozen Star Wars. I would wear them until the plastic iron-on picture would start cracking.

Note that I was clever enough to use sunglasses with the Darth Vader mask, but not clever enough to wear a black long-sleeved shirt. Man, these costumes were just awful back then, but we loved them! I’m pretty sure the one-fist-on-the-hip thing was probably my grandma’s idea. Sassy.
My Birthday – Germany – 1980
I remember that this was the puzzle I wanted because basically I liked anything that had Han Solo. Chewbacca, or the Millennium Falcon on it. I don’t think I ever put it together.

I love that I’ve been demoted to a storm trooper, but I’m still taller than Darth Vader.
Christmas – Altus, Oklahoma – 1976
Of course, with a haircut like mine at that age, not everything was Star Wars. I wish I could find a better picture with the insignia showing. If I do, I’ll post it. It would be the logical thing to do.

This is my favorite thing today. and possibly forever.
The puzzle pic is the most awesome. All those little boys in awe and worship of the Star Wars puzzle. Priceless.
These are great. We want to see more.
Oh.
My.
Goodness.
