A Long Time Ago ... I became a Star Wars fan. My love for Star Wars was born when my father took me and my brother to see the original movie at the Regent Theatre in my home town, Great Yarmouth, in January 1978. I was 7 years-old. Needless to say, it made quite an impact on me. To celebrate The Force Awakens, I have created a 100-day countdown to its release. Using images from my collection, I will share my favorite memories of 35+ years of being a fan and collector of all things Star Wars.

49 days to go: Battle stations!
I certainly got my money's worth from all of my Star Wars toys as a child. Although generally I took great care of all of my toys, never parting with any of them, some wore the scars of battles between the Rebels and the Empire. Me and my best school friend, Michael, would recreate scenes from the movies in his garden. My original Imperial Scout Walker still has burn marks on its leg from where we got carried away with real fire to add to the authenticity of the battle!
Scout Walker, Palitoy
