The Death Star is a space station created by the Galactic Empire to be the most powerful force in the galaxy. Every time I put them in the DVD player, I feel like I'm eight years old again, when life was simple and the biggest problem I had was figuring out how I was going to track down a figure of Anakin Skywalker.History Princess Leia's home world Alderaan I feel no need to defend my opinion of these movies as some of the greatest of all time. I don't get the appeal of "Lord of the Rings" or "Star Trek" but I understand the rabid flocks of fans that follow them because I am a rabid fan of George Lucas's films. I am unabashedly dorky when it comes to "Star Wars" and I think people either just understand that or they don't. They also had a huge pine tree whose bottom branches were high enough to create a sort of cave underneath it, and this made a great spot to pretend we were in Yoda's home. My friends' dad built them a kick-ass tree house, and that served as the Ewok village. In the winter, my friends and I would build snow forts and pretend we were on Hoth (I was always Han Solo).
There's no separating it in my mind from Christmases, birthdays, summers and winters growing up. It represents absolutely everything good, fun and magical about my childhood. It's now legendary in this boy's family how the last action figure he needed, Anakin Skywalker, stopped being produced and carried in stores, and how this boy went for about ten years (until he got into college) trying to track one down and finally bought it from someone on his dorm floor for a bag of beer nuggets (don't ask.it's a Northern Illinois University thing). But years later, he would get what to this day goes down as one of the best gifts he's ever received: another box full of action figures, ten of the final twelve he needed to complete his collection. He was too young to fully appreciate how special that gift would be. He does remember the first "Star Wars" themed gift he got.a shoebox full of action figures from the original set. He doesn't remember first seeing the movie, but he also doesn't remember life before it.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.There was a boy who was only two years old when the original "Star Wars" film was released.
