My Uncle took me to see Star Wars at The Odeon in London Leicester Square back in 77. I fell asleep and thought it was boring
Shame on me.

But for some reason, when it reached my home town I loved it and went to see it again and again with various members of my family and friends.
I do think though, if it wasn't for the action figures, I wouldn't have loved SW as much. Collecting them little babies holds the best memory for me. There was nothing better than finding that one bloody figure you've been looking for for ages, and seeing it on that shelf.

Remember seeing Empire, but Jedi was the best time for me. God I was so excited. A whole group of us went after school and man, I thought it was the best thing ever. I don't think I slept that night. It just kept going around and around my head. And because I only lived about 2 mins from our local cinema, I went to see it nearly every day. A few times I'd go and watch it in the afternoon, go home and get some grub, then go back and watch it again. 17 times in 3 weeks Happy days!!!
