I was ten, and I'm pretty sure I never even heard of Star Wars till 79 or so. Or if I did, it didn't mean anything to me. I got into science fiction when Battlestar Galactica came out, and when I started (surreptitiously) watching Star Trek reruns, Buck Rogers around the same time.
Speaking of boots! In my sixth grade class "waffle stoppers" - heel length and usually brown hiking boots that had a waffle like tread were a big deal along with wearing white tshirts with all kinds of decals and characters on them!
I had a chopper bike. It was a Screamer Gremlin from Sears. Nerf balls were awesome, especially the football, as commonplace as the yo-yo. Anyone remember Dynamite magazine which also had cool stuff for kids about their favorite stars? I wish I held on to mine. Looks like they have many on eBay.

Not sure where this information came from, but I grew up in the 70s and none of these were that big of a deal to me or a y of my friends. Star wars yes for the younger kids when they came out but that's about it.
Moon boots must've been a five minute fad, and must've made no lasting impression on the culture. Because I was born in the late 60s, and I've never heard of, nor seen any version of them until this video. Or if I did (apparently the concept had a WIDE variety of interpretations) I never saw them as anything else but a type of colorful winter type boot.
When I was a kid, you had to love Pokemon. At least until the kids started calling it "Dorkymon". And then you're like oh yeah it's kind of lame isn't it? Then you immediately had to love Dragon Ball Z or you weren't cool anymore.
In 1977 , I worked in a toy store. You are so right about Star War toys. The kids were crazy for them. Couldn't keep them on the shelves.

I have the exact Blue Moon boots you keep showing with the Rainbow on top as a little kid I didn't know I was in Vogue😅
This was the best time to be a kid!
I worked in a gift shop in the 90's. We sold the Pet Rock, surprisingly it was pretty popular for Christmas of 91.
I had a chopper bike that looked more like what Fonda rode in Easy Rider. I loved it.
They even had chopper trikes for preschoolers. I think.
I still have all my original run Star Wars figures, guns and all!
I'd love to be able to cruise around the neighbourhood again with a chopper bike.

What about MAD magazine? That was a favorite of mine. “What me worry?”

Nerf balls were great for squeezing out your frustration sort of like a fiddle game.
When I bought a Nerf Ball, my pet rock ran away from home.😋
I was wondering what that rock was doing running down the street. 🤔
Someone gave me a can of dehydrated water for a gift once. I put my pet rock in a bowl of dehydrated water and the poor thing imaginary drowned. 😢
Dodge ball, Ford Ball, Toyota ball, Even Peterbilt Truck ball.
I had a wall poster of Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Taz.
A helmet?! Back then!
