Wow…back in 1980, had I been there I would've probably started crying and fainting like I was at a Michael Jackson concert! Darth Vader has always been, by far, my *favorite* Star Wars character.
I wonder what that says about me as a person?!?!
I remember Darth Vader, Chewbacca and R2-D2 coming to our grocery store about the same time. I loved Vader, I was actually scared of Chewie!
