For "Saturday Night Live" cast member, comedian and actor Bill Hader, seeing Star Wars at a young age left a strong impression on him -- removing a few baby teeth in the process. "The first movie I remember seeing in a theater was The Empire Strikes Back with my dad," Hader recalls. "And when the movie got to the part with the tauntaun dying and he's cut open and I saw all that rice-like innards, I freaked out. I was probably about 3 years old and that scene scared the crap out of me. But my earliest childhood memories are mostly about collecting the Star Wars toys. In fact, I knocked my first tooth out running around with my Millennium Falcon and I hit a wall by accident. I was doing about six parsecs to warm up for the Kessel Run."
When he wasn't slamming into walls, the young Hader had fun reenacting his favorite scenes with Star Wars impressions and showing off his impressive toy collection. "I remember being Darth Vader for Halloween when I was a kid," Hader says. "I had the supermarket costume with the plastic mask and cape. I also had the Rancor monster which I brought to Show and Tell at school. I also had the small lightsaber that when you push the button it lights up, way before the other plastic lightsabers that made noise came out. So I had to bring that to Show and Tell as well. Sadly, my mom sold everything in a garage sale when I was 13 thinking I was too old for them. I remember specifically wanting to show a friend my Star Wars toys that I had been bragging to him about at school and they were gone. I was pretty shocked that she didn't wait until I at least left home first."
