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.

62 days to go: It's definitely the thought that counts
I am very fortunate to have friends who totally accept and support my Star Wars fandom. Elizabeth, a good friend back in the UK, took it upon herself to surprise me with a personalized autograph of George Lucas as a wedding gift. She secretly wrote to Lucasfilm with the request. Although not successful, George Lucas' secretary graciously wrote back to her and she gave me the response letter as a gift (it is on official Lucasfilm stationery!). It has pride of place in my collection and her efforts really meant so much to me. Incidentally, a George Lucas autograph still eludes me...
