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.

59 days to go: My 13th Birthday
I received this Millennium Falcon vehicle for my 13th birthday from my Mum and Dad. It was the first addition of a vehicle to my growing Star Wars action figure collection. Although well played with, I still have it in my collection and with the original box! I never used to dust it, as I always felt that a light coating gave it a more rustic and authentic look. When I took it out of the box to photograph there was still 30 year-old dust on it!
