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.

6 days to go: A long time ago in a bedroom far, far away...
I recently found this picture of one of the many Star Wars cities I created for my action figures in my childhood bedroom. It was on multiple levels and included an assortment of living quarters for my figures, landing platforms for my ships and general city amenities. Storylines would be acted out and would unfold over periods of months, culminating in big battles and usually the ultimate destruction of the city. There was only ever a short break before a new city would be constructed and the chapters to the story would continue.
