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.

74 days to go: If I were a Star Wars Character...
I am often asked who my favorite Star Wars character is. I always struggle with this question, as I love them all and for many different reasons. Among the few that really resonated with me as a child was Princess Leia, as I love strong, powerful women. Darth Vader also made a mark on me, as I loved the mystery and the conflict within him. Visually, a very strong favorite were the Emperor’s Royal Guards, which were first introduced in Return of the Jedi. I just loved the contrast of their all-red costumes versus the cold dark colors of the rest of the Imperial army.
Emperor's Royal Guard: replica helmet, Kenner/Hasbro action figures, Kotobuyika ArtFX+ statues, Gentle Giant statue, Gentle Giant 1:6 scale bust, Sideshow Vinyl Collectible Doll Super-Deformed figure, Micro Machines Transforming Action Set
