Comic books? Replica movie props? No matter what nerdy things you collect or accumulate, one thing is for certain: the best times to truly geek out every year are annual conventions and Halloween.

So in preparation for the year of Star Wars (it's not too early to grant that title, is it?) we've decided to channel some of our pent up excitement into reliving some oh-so-sweet nostalgia from the trilogy that started it all.
