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.

52 days to go: My first lightsaber
This may seem incredibly hard to believe, but I didn’t own my first lightsaber until I was 21 years-old! It was given to me by my now husband, Bradley, as a Christmas gift. It was the Luke Skywalker, Return of the Jedi green lightsaber by Kenner. As a child, I preferred to re-enact the movies (and personally created storylines) with my action figures rather than in person. I have since added an array of lightsabers to my collection. I'm hoping to add a Kylo Ren version from The Force Awakens in the not too distant future...
