This has to be the best collection of images ever, and a great piece of social history documentation. People submit images of themselves – from 1977-1985 – with Star Wars; this being a costume, a toy, their childhood drawings or even curtains. Here are some of the best.

jesus, that last kid is amazing… wearing his yoda backpack to karate class at the Y, whislt rocking his bowl haircut and pre-retro accountant glasses… fil under cool 20 years too early…
Funny. The little catholic girl from the early sixties really had the star wars look.
I love that image too. However, it would not be from the 60′s as all the images are between 1977-1985.
