Meeting Chewbacca at the Burger King

That's me!

I'm the little kid on the right, and I was ecstatic to be meeting Chewbacca at the Burger King back in 1979. At the time, I just remember thinking he was completely real and having no idea that it was just a Chewbacca mask stuck upon a gorilla suit.
