Introduction

I grew up with Star Wars like all kids born in the 70's. I had all the toys. I watched the movies over and over. I even went as Jedi Luke from ROJ for one Halloween. Since then, I have become more interested in the more technical issues of filmmaking and character issues in storytelling, and have come to appreciate George Lucas' Star Wars trilogy even more as the modern myth that it is. I still collect the figures, watch the movies weekly, and join with millions of other fans in great anticipation for the new trilogy. Collected here are some pages of information I find useful. There are pages here on collecting both vintage and new figures, news on the upcoming films, and links to other Star Wars sites. Please peruse and enjoy. If you wish to discuss anything Star Wars related, just drop me an e-mail.
