I was an old skool Star Wars geek …

Crank Christmas 1980Hey there, I’m feeling silly and I’ve gotten a film scanner ( currently broken … again ) so I thought I’d pop this up.

The year was 1980, it was Christmas and I was a wee bairn of 6.

 

– crank!

    You do have that “I’m crazy, check out my new toys” look however; if you could bottle that happiness you would be a millionaire.

    Excellent. Dunno if you caught that Marvel Spotlight thing, but there’s a similar picture of me with an AT-AT on Christmas Day in Superman PJs.

    That is pretty much what I would have looked like in 1980 with all my Star Wars stuff. I was a total Star Wars nut. For my birthdays and Christmas my parents got me tons of Star Wars stuff. Oddly enough though, I never had underoos. I had sheets, curtains, quilts, hats, T-shirts, posters, glasses and tons of toys. Most are gone now but I was able to keep some. Wish I had it all.
