This is so cool, I wish I was around when the films first released, it was a time when the cinema changed, and pretty much everything we have nowadays in film can be attributed to ILM. It's cool that you were a part of the clubs, I've never been a part of one but I can imagine it being a lot of fun. I do have some friends who are as into Star Wars as I am and we can spend hours chatting about it.
That's cool about the book too, and an interesting way to get introduced to it. Judging by the front cover, they used the concept of Darth Vader, but that makes sense since it released prior to the film. I can imagine being a 1st Edition and Print could make it pretty valuable, although the sentimental value of it would be worth a lot more I'm sure.
I was first introduced to it by my parents, and back when the 97 release of the VHS came out my dad picked them up, and I still have them, but I'd imagine they're pretty worn out haha, I can still remember the day he got them. I collect a lot of the figures and ships, I nearly have all of the original 77 Kenner Figures loose - which I'm hoping to make a display of soon. At the moment, I have about 56 of them. I also have four figures in their boxes, and a sealed Chewbacca signed by Peter Mayhew - the Chewie is the 90s Hasbro one, but still pretty cool nonetheless. I also have a ton of ships and sets.

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoThanks for the response. Star Wars is one of those films that is just such a blast to watch. That you have built up a very cool collection of collectibles, and even an autographed one, is awesome! You got me topped there by quite a bit. As Peter Mayhew passed away a few years ago - DON'T EVER SELL IT. You'll never be able to get another.
It'll 100% be at the centre of collection when I have it all placed and up on the shelving. I'm hoping to cut and hang the shelves over the next couple of weeks and I'll be documenting the proccess of it. I'm looking forward to the room being finished. It's a small little box room I've turned into an office and by time it's done it'll be a cool place to work from, especially for writing.
Yeah it's such a great franchise and one that can be enjoyed countless times and on a lot of levels, I love the games, and I've read a lot of the novels, mainly the old canon stuff, or "Legends" as it's known now.
