If you're old enough to have seen the original Star Wars trilogy in theaters the first time around, and to have owned -- and, gasp, even played with -- the Kenner toys before they became collector's items, I Grew Up Star Wars will hit you right in the nostalgia.

It's a website that collects photos, primarily from the late 1970s and early '80s, from the early days of Star Wars fandom, documenting that unfettered joy of finding the Millennium Falcon under the tree, and that twinge of envy at your friend's birthday party.

It's virtually impossible to browse the site without breaking into a grin as wide as those on the kids' faces.
