As a female, the 80s started out with the hope that someday I would find a guy that would kiss me exactly the way Han kissed Leia in Empire....and dress like him tool...and have a heap of junk like him....well, you get the picture....
OK, Not quite Phoebe but slave Leia was definitely up there (plus I can post a pic without getting permanently banned)
That's why I don't like 1981 as the cutoff year for Gen-X, IMO in order to be a true Gen-Xer you have to remember seeing at least one of the Star Wars movies (The real ones not the prequels) in the theater.
