My non-film related Star Wars memories mostly revolve around the toys.

I remember going with my mother to this department store in my home town about once ever couple of weeks back when I was maybe around 6-8. The main level was just clothes and stuff, but the basement level housed the toy section. Every time I went there I remember running down the stairs to the Star Wars aisle and looking for C-3PO (for a long while, the only droids I owned were R2 and the Death Star droid... "RA-7"... and I was getting tired of pretending the Death Star droid was 3PO).

I also remember getting Walrusman and Hammerhead for Easter one year. I was so young I couldn't even get their guns in their hands by myself, so my dad had to do it for me. I LOVED those two figures... to this day it remains one of my fondest memories of getting a gift. I just thought they looked so cool.

I also remember playing with my Jawa, R2, and "3PO" figures on my parents' brown couch. I'd lean a pillow against the arm of the couch, stick the Jawa back in there, and reenact the scene where they ambush R2.

I also used to have one of those Star Wars "Give-a-show" projectors from Kenner. I remember playing with it in our basement at home while my mom did the laundry. I especially loved the slide with the Sand Person weilding his gaffi stick.

But, looking back, perhaps my favourite Star Wars memory is of my dad endlessly drawing and redrawing his best rendition of the Vader / Obi-Wan duel for me on my little chalk board. He was no artist by any stretch of the imagination, and the drawings were just simple outlines of the characters' profiles holding their lightsabers, but for me it was magic :)

And people say Star Wars is "just a movie." It's clearly so much more than that... it was my childhood.
