I just had to share this photo. I saw it on social media today. This is a kid (just like me) who became the proud owner of a Chewbacca mask released by Don Post Studios in the summer of 1977. In episode one of "The Star Wars Phenomenon" I tell my own story of begging my parents to drive me to California to pick up a Darth Vader mask directly from the Don Post factory in Glendale. They gave me a tour of the factory and at the end handed me the box and said, "Jon, you are the first customer in the world to receive this mask". Quite a mind blowing experience for a 13 year old Star Wars fanatic! https://youtu.be/1WSw49ccyHM
