My love for Star Wars has been a constant in my life. From my earliest memories, I can recall flying Luke and his X-wing around my house on Christmas day. I even had the opportunity to meet Darth Vader (David Prowse) at the age of 6, an experience that still gives me chills. As a child, I never questioned why the Dark Lord of the Sith was making an appearance at Woolworth’s.
As I grew older and became a father myself, I found a new excuse to indulge in my love for the Star Wars universe by buying toys for my children. I regret selling my own collection in a garage sale to raise funds for our first home, but I have since made up for it with new purchases. My wife and I both have a deep appreciation for the original movies, while our kids prefer the prequel trilogy. However, we all enjoy watching the latest shows together as a family.
Being a known fan of Star Wars, I have received and given many gifts related to the franchise over the years. These gifts hold a special place in my heart and remind me of my love for this epic saga. Some of my favorites include Displate prints, Hallmark decorations, and a Star Wars crossword puzzle book. As a tech journalist, I have had the privilege of trying out various Star Wars products and sharing my thoughts with others.
My love for Star Wars will always be a part of me, and I look forward to creating more memories with my family in that galaxy far, far away.
