Darth Vader hits the Waterpark

[RSS]

Matt sent in this fun shot of him and Darth Vader in the Wisconsin Dells circa 1978, note the signed 8" by 10" glossy in his hands. Matt gets bonus points for the cool Starsky and Hutch shirt but I'm not sure why Darth Vader is wearing the buzzer from my grandmother's apartment building lobby on his chest...

Yeah, the suit isn't quite accurate, but I doubt any kid would've noticed that back then

I guess he was tepting kids to the deep end of the pool instead of the darkside of the force.Must've been a slow day on the DeathStar.

At least Darth's not wearing a Speedo. I wonder how many kids tried pushing that button on his chest to order a Happy Meal?

[Nostalgiabuff]

that's an early version of customizing.

Who else notices the bootleg lightsaber that was sold in toy sections shortly after Star Wars came out. They took a flashlight and put on a hollow beam piece. I had one.
