early-mid 1978 | age 9-10 This is probably one of the 2 or 3 funniest scenes in the whole film. I missed out some of the best lines though: “Well…. uh, more wealth than you can imagine!” says Luke—to which[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.mid–late 1978 | age 9–10 My friends and I used to be baffled by that word Detention. Or maybe it was just me? We’d be playing a scene from Star Wars and all sorts of odd variations would come up.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
1978 | age 9-10 This page has some fun things in it, including a very un-characteristically irritable line of dialogue from Ben! Poor Artoo, he’s just trying to tell them something fairly important—you know?—about the Princess—who sent them on this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(early-mid 1978 | 9-10 yrs old) Savour this page reader… savourrrr. Ok, never mind. I will for you. These ones are always my favourites. And get this! Chewie’s doing his 1970s Kung-Fu moves! Art Notes This has got to be early to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1982? | age 14? Not very funny is it? I didn’t even finish off Solo’s arm. My First Convention! For want of something else to write about, do you know that we’re bringing our 4 year old son to a Star[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

c.1983?|age 14/15? Panel 1 is lifted from Chaykin’s version. I don’t like Han in that one. He looks like Robert Wagner in Hart to Hart. “And togedder… dey was moider!” Wacka—wacka, chicka-wah-wah! I liked Wagner in one of the Austin Powers movies—oh[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Art Notes c.1979?|age 11? It’s a rubbish, embarrassing page, but!—it features an Imperial baddie who’s just about as evil as they come. Not just evil. And no, not just very evil. We are now looking at a character that I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.Early 1978/age 9 or 10 The Millennium Falcon goes in arse-first. Now this is more like it, readers! It’s one of my favourite pages of the whole book. I love it because of: “C’mon you creeps!” “Yeah, we’ve captured a ship!”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
