Where were you in '77?

Forgive me, OT.com, for I have sinned.
I have put money in the pocket of Lucas. I bought a pair of Star Wars sleep pants at Wal-Mart yesterday. They were on sale, and they were a cool retro print taken from this poster and had the old style logo and everything. I couldn't pass it up.
I hope that I can be forgiven.
I totally have those pants!
They're really great, tbh. I wish I was lazier so I could wear them all the time.
Alas...

I had Star Wars wallpaper. Before computers.
I know... pics or it didn't happen. I don't have access to the family photos to check right now, so I tried a Google image search - boy was that dumb.
You mean this? (I know Google-Fu.) It was expensive stuff, even in the 70's.
I found a sealed roll in a thrift store in the 80's. Finally cut a poster sized piece off of it and framed it several years ago. People who see it think it's an oil painting. ;)
There was supposed to be Empire wallpaper, but I've never seen it.
Where were you in '77?
That's me!
Just kidding. It would have been just before Empire IIRC, but that's not it. It actually had 'Star Wars' on there in the Star Warsy writing as well. Seems further investigation may be required. It might not have even been official but it was damn cool when I was about five.
Found the Empire wallpaper:
Still no luck with mine - I think I'd know it if I saw it, but it was over 30 years ago.
I had half a room of the Star Wars paper (it was really expensive) the other half started off as a tannish coloured plain paper but I eventually had every inch covered with Star Wars related material.
My cousin had one two walls of Star Wars and then two walls of the Empire print and a Star Wars bedspread (the jammy git).
But I had Tom Baker underpants.

Fixed it for you.
Any one seen the new Ultimate FX Lightsabers? They look like force FX Lightsabers but are cheaper .
So my boss gave me his 97SE Fullscreen VHS set, and when i told my wife about it, she recognized it as the set she watched the first time she saw the Trilogy.
My wife has never seen the OUT. I fail.

I really hated the way the original action figures had their lightsabers in the figures arm, which you then extended. I know what they were going for, but it didn't work

I thought that was actually pretty clever.

I suppose, but the sabers looked stupid.

I can't believe I spent time from 1999 through 2006 trying to convince myself that the prequels were good.

I bought the red Vader one for my 5 yo son. He's pretty rough on things, and it's held up so far.
It's definitely a toy, not a collectible like the previous FX sabers. It's made of all plastic, and the LEDs in the blade are kind of distinct. But the sounds are good (if a bit low compared to other FX).
Best of all, it's great in a three-way battle between me, my 5 yo, and my 8 yo son!
You know of the rebellion against the Empire?
Remember one time when I joked that LEGO Star Wars was my canon. Remember another time I swore that if young Han Solo was featured in anything, it would be immediately erased from my memory?

At least it's "Young Han Solo" and not "Stupid Kid Han Solo".
But yeah... I saw that and had to shake my head. Honestly though, I trust the Lego people have done a better job than LFL could have.

No.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Your brain just makes s**t up!
A fate worse than death? Having your head digitally replaced with that of Hayden Christensen!
You know what's scary? George Lucas considered putting Young Han Solo in Episode III so seriously that he was featured in a draft of the script! And they did concept art!
WTF!! Somehow the retardedness of it all just dawned on me. What the hell went through his head? It says a lot about how Lucas thinks these days.
