Along with Darth Vader, Slave Leia, and about a thousand catchphrases, we also have Star Wars to thank for those sugar-fuled nights spent at the local laser tag arena. Originating in 1984, inventor George Carter came up with the concept after watching the Battle of the Blockade Runner in A New Hope, spawning a TV show, series of novels, and a number one selling toy line. Although the game veered off from his original idea, our childhood's are indebted to him for allowing us to live out our blaster pistol dreams.
