Flickr Find: Growing Up Star Wars

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away lived very small children, who grew up to be the coolest Star Wars geeks in that galaxy...Being total and complete Star Wars geeks for as long as we can remember (Watching the first movie -- or fourth, if you want to get into specifics -- for the first time at the age of 5 made quite an impression.) we can only smile and nod excitedly as we peruse the Flick group Growing Up Star Wars.

Glen Mullaly, who founded the group, states Growing Up Star Wars group states, "With the creation of this group you now have permission to post that Polaroid of yourself as Princess Leia in 1977...or that crayon portrait you did of the Death Star Droid that hung on your parent's fridge for months in 1979 until someone spilled Kool-Aid on it. Even that great shot of your little brother meeting an off-model Darth Vader at some local in-store promotion in 1983."

Enjoy and may the force be with you. Sorry! We couldn't help it.

Oh that's too funny - just last night my husband proclaimed he wants this for his 31st birthday.

I guess once a Star Wars fan, always a star wars fan.
Or that some people will (thankfully) always be young at heart.

hilarious!

star wars is becoming popular again -- my daughter has been to a couple of star-wars themed birthday parties. For her Princess Lea hair, we attached my old booby tubes from breastfeeding days to her head and wound her hair around them. Very effective!
