Hello Friends
This is a great piece of vinyl in perfect condition - the inside is a 20+ page book and you turn the pages with the record - great for kids and adults - I only listened to it once long, long ago
Just tell me you favorite personal StarWars story
I was like 6 years old when Jedi came out - I had been to a theater to see SnowWhite and 101 Dalmatians only - I had been to the drive in a few times...
Anyway back then we only got to watch StarWars like once a year when it came on TV same with EmpireStrikesBack - so my uncle walked 5 or 6 miles to my house right about the time my dad got home... Uncle Keith told me dad he was there to take me to see Jedi so he gave my uncle the keys and away we went... I was too young to read the Jabba the Hut subtitles and he had to read them to me, same goes for the opening credits - I'll never forget it - this was beyond child movie magic this was STARWARS at the theater loud and proud!!! What a great memory, can't wait to read yours
all shipping is on me

I want it! I don't have any stars wars amazing story, I just remember playing with my stars wars action figures... but I watched the movies like 5 years after they were on the theaters :( so I invented my own star wars stories :oops: and to tell you the truth my own stories were better

Alpine Valley Resort is etched in my brain!!!
Edit: Jedi came out in 83 I think, so must have saw that when it originally came out. I was 5 in 1980, so I don't recall what year it was.

Well, I love SW!
My best memory is when my Dad would go to trips abroad in the early 80's and he'd come back with some of the original figures for me and my brother! I used to love playing with those :-)
My worst memory, however, is coming back to live in Greece after many years abroad only to find out that all of my toys had gone missing, including all the original Star Wars figures and vehicles...
I've made some Star Wars illustrations and prints (some humour based ones too) and if you want, you can check them out here ;-) http://www.society6.com/studio/eyejacker/store
Here's one of them
Thanks for the chance!!! :-D
AWESOME!!
Now to watch Fanboys again....great movie for all star wars fans.
Falcon's I've made..before and after
We went to see the Star Wars exhibition in London..all the props(lightsabers, blasters, original R2&3PO!, costumes(Boba Fett! The Emperor! Chewie!), starships (aaalll sortsa models..No falcon though :( ) and full scale stuff like Anakin's podracer, from all six films, all in these huge rooms with characters from the film walking around in costume..it was amazing...
anyways it was in a huge place and I got separated from my friends, and I was walking down this empty corridor and took a left. Just as I did, about 30 feet away down the turn I just took, is Darth Vader looking around(a guy in an exact replica costume(all the suit-lights & lightsaber working!) There he is. The man who haunted my nightmares as a child...all 7 feet of him or whatever he is..
so, he turns slowly, and sees me...
kkhhoohhhhh kkissshhhhhh...
and Lurches and starts walking towards me, i'm frozen in fear...and lifting his right hand slowly as he comes, slowly forming a claw..like he was holding me frozen with the Force..
all the while...the breathing..
kkhhoohhhhh kkissshhhhhh...
kkhhoohhhhh kkissshhhhhh...
he's stalking towards me..I'm frozen solid to the spot and i am f***-ing terrified!
He comes right up to me and just as he puts his hand right over my face..he's literally leaning over me..
kkhhoohhhhh kkissshhhhhh...
I let out the biggest scream you've ever heard in your life
I'm not shitting you. I don't have to, think i shat myself a little bit.
One of the most amazing but scary things I've ever had happen to me.
thanks for reading. Hope I win

My favorite Star Wars moment is probably getting an R2D2 piggybank from my grandma as like a 5 year old for my bday. I still have it to this day and it's one of my favorite items in the world and wouldn't trade it for anything. She even has the words "Happy Birthday Michael, love Grandma" in the bottom on the feet. It's priceless.
Awesome story! :-D
Hope you win!!
as a geek in my late thirties, i still love everything about star wars and i talk about it with whoever has the patience for me - arguing over who shot first, han or greedo, who amongst my friends would have the higher midi-chlorian count, how awesome boba fett really is, why ewoks are stupid or why star trek sucks. and to see how family guy or robot chicken has evolved the trilogies into something so bizarre, cracks my shit up.
here are a couple pics of my desk at work showcasing my geekdom.

as hypercritical as i am about most/all things, the original star wars just seems to transcend any of that... and there's plenty to get caught up on if you pick it apart... but whats the point?? its pure movie magic... i love a good story of redemption
i'll still sit and watch the entire trilogy anytime they play them on tv

also, I work doing editing and videos and stuff and I always put the Cantina Band song in my pieces...It's illegal to use copyrighted material but I do it very subtly and I never get caught...
Story #1) When star wars was released I was 2. I knew what it was by the time I was 5 and bugged my parents constantly to let me watch it. Finally, Star Wars made its "network premier" in the U.S. Around 84-85 I think (after it had grossed hundreds of millions!!) and I got to watch it on TV. Of course we recorded it to VHS (which I thought was the coolest thing ever - none of my friends had VHS in those days! That was one of the fondest memories I have from childhood
Store #2) Last month my wife and I met some friends in the bay area to go skiing in Lake Tahoe, and on the way up to Tahoe I was asking the other man with us what he was doing working in San Fran. He told me he had moved out there because his buddy had purchased George Lucas's old company - I said what! which company? And he went on to explain it was the portion of Lucas Films that did live special effects, including the property where they filmed the majority of the Star War's pre-cual. Long story short, we got a tour of the place on Sunday afternoon, saw a ton of photos from back in the 80s and also saw a model of the ship from Pirates of the Caribean that they had build for a scene in that movie! Really cool stuff!
Anyway - great thread and really cool vinyl!!!
The force is strong with you :ugeek:
Thanks. I just saw that I won. I can't believe it. Thank you very much CKMH.
not my band - just a cool audio creation of mine... let me know if you dig it - you may have gotten a straight audio cd or you may have gotten a CD/VCD (cd-r either way) but one will only play in your cd player the other will only play in a dvd player or a computer

Anyway thought this might be a good place to ask, anyone know of or have a Han solo in carbonite figure, I have seen a Lego star wars one in the box for the slave1 but I ain't gonna pay $200 just for Han.
Ayway the reason I ask is I'm looking for it to put in a display case with my Han solo addidas I have:
I'm pretty sure I have a couple of them. They aren't in the box, but I am willing to part with one. I'd just have to find them.
