of Earth.I was just reading through zombie's http://secrethistoryofstarwars.com/starwarsmemories.html article and it made me think of my own memories. And how half of those memories aren't the movies themselves, but wearing Star Wars t-shirts everywhere. You know the ones- the low contrast, extremely faded, cracked iron transfer ones.
I know I'm wearing one in just about every picture of me as a kid... I'm sure the same is true for many of you.
Has anyone collected a bunch of photos like that somewhere? If not, may I humbly suggest that you, zombie, do so on secrethistoryofstarwars.com? It would make a nice companion to the above article.

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

is automatic for the people.Should someone tell xhonzi that his PM to xhombie was accidentally posted as a new tread?
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish memes.

Jedi KnightNo, I think he wants this as a public thing.
Xhonzi, that's actually a good idea. I will definitely do a follow up just for nostalgia if there is enough photos of "star wars memories".

Better a bad bomb than a bombadI LIVED in a red one with Vader on it when I was little. Wore it until it litterally rotted off me.

Reginald ScumI still have an old shirt I got from the Star Tours store, with Vader pointing towards you that says:
I WANT YOU
FOR THE IMPERIAL FORCES
travel to exotic, distant galaxies, meet a wretched hive of scum and villainy . . . and disintegrate them
It doesn't come out that much now because it's about 14 years old and a bit small on me, but I still wear it sometimes. One of my friends had it first, and I had to get one too when I saw it. ;)
I believe it is based on anti-Vietnam army recruiting parodies about joining up to see distant lands and kill the inhabitants.
