In January of 1978, just a few months after the world experienced the first chapter in the Star Wars franchise on the big screen, a factory in Cincinnati, Ohio was hard at work producing the first line of Star Wars action figures. Kenner Products, famous for introducing Play-Doh, the Easy-Bake Oven, and many familiar childhood toys, produced official Star Wars toys for over 20 years until the brand was dissolved by its parent company Hasbro in 2000. Flickr user and Star Wars toy historian Darth Ray recently unearthed these photos from the original Kenner factory, including shots of the production line, a board showing employees how to assemble the Millennium Falcon, and some early promo photos featuring incredibly psyched little kids.
