This TIE Fighter toy from 1978 is one of many Kenner Star Wars toys in a new exhibit at the Oshkosh Public Museum.
It’s May the Fourth, which means fans of Star Wars across the world are celebrating their love for the franchise. When
Star Wars hit the big screen for the first time in 1977, it became an instant classic. But there wouldn’t be any toys of Darth Vader, Luke, Han, Leia or Chewbacca for kids to play with until almost a year later.

Jarrod Roll began collecting Kenner Star Wars toys after a friend showed him his Darth Vader figure a year after the original Star Wars movie was released.
