Afterwards Quotes
I saw a Star Wars double-bill when Empire first opened. I was 4 and I was on vacation in Dublin with my family, ... I was amazed by the Star Destroyer 's entrance and Vader's intro with the stormtroopers seizing the Tantive IV . We went straight to the toy store afterwards and got a Vader and a stormtrooper. I remember gazing at the back of the card wanting all the figures. From that point I was hooked.

Best Quotes
That was one of the best days ever! ... This was two weeks before the film's general release and to see it at the theatre at Skywalker Sound with George and a host of other guests was amazing. George was as quiet and modest as ever so Rick McCallum gave us all a short introduction speech. By the end everyone was on his or her feet in ovation. Great stuff.

Archives Quotes
We got to play to a crowd of Lucasfilm, LucasArts and ILM employees straight after their work hours and it was surprisingly good fun, ... Our song 'Clones' from Republic Commando and our cover of ' Cantina Band ' went down like a storm. We had props of Darth Vader , a stormtrooper and R2-D2 brought out of the archives and put on stage with us, as we played a short half hour set. Artoo is well aware he's my favorite so he obviously had to hang out stage left.

Acres Quotes
We went for a late night walk around the grounds and lake; it was so tranquil and silent, ... The inn itself is a privilege to stay in. Each room is uniquely decorated and named after a person of great inspiration to George. There is a great stone fireplace were you can sit up late and drink and talk. But my favorite part of the whole Ranch has to be the atmosphere. Everyone you meet is happy to be there, and the views are amazing. The Ranch is possibly one of the most serene, beautiful places I've ever been to. Thousands of acres of rolling grass hills, forest, lakes and wildlife. Then you have these amazing state-of-the-art buildings. Big Rock Ranch is also a stunning building like an enormous Japanese ski lodge. What a place to work; the toy-licensing department is where I can see my self one day!

Amazing Quotes
Ash was in the States on tour just before Celebration III, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to stay a few days extra and go as there is nothing like that in Europe, ... I went with some friends from LucasArts (who we got to know through Republic Commando ) and they got me an all-access pass which was sweet. It was an amazing time! The 501st's costumes were fantastic, the presentation of Revenge of the Sith footage whipped everyone into frenzy and George's announcement of the TV series was music to everyone's ears. I loved the Droid Builder's room and it was hard to curb the spending in the exhibition hall. My favorite moment was watching a toddler looking up at Red Royal Guard, awestruck, as her ice cream fell to the floor.
-
Bail Quotes
It was interesting to see that Bail Organa only ordered for C-3PO's memory to be wiped, ... That says a lot about Artoo and how much he knows in the later episodes. After all, Artoo is my favorite character. He's a cheeky upstart but saves the day so many times. He's courageous, takes a right battering but never complains, just gets on with it. You can bet he's a blast to party with and the one the girls all love.

Built Quotes
It was a dream come true, ... Ewan inviting us to perform and then playing on the set of the new Star Wars movie was something I could not comprehend. They built us a stage in the Theed Hanger and we got to play in front of all the cast and crew. When we played 'Cantina Band' we got a massive cheer from everyone including George, Peter Mayhew and Liam Neeson .

Anywhere Quotes
I remember the day I finally got the Falcon after missing out at Christmas. They were like gold dust and impossible for Santa to find, ... I got it for my birthday and was the happiest kid alive. Many of my friends would meet up after school and play out battles in the street, gardens, sandpits, forests or anywhere our imaginations could take us.
-
Armies Quotes
I have too much stuff!, ... It's all spread over different locations and attics. I recently moved out of London and had to bus 30-40 crates of toys to storage in Ireland. I'm not the kind to keep things in their packaging; I have to have get them out, set them up and battle. For me this requires vast armies so I have to buy numerous multiples of most of the stuff. I have fond memories of digging Sarlacc pits in the garden and burying figures. A shame they didn't grow into trees 'cause I lost a lot of Boba Fett s doing that.
-
Bad Quotes
It has cost me a small fortune but most people in the music industry have a bad habit of some sort, ... I buy everything I can get my hands on that I don't have, usually as it's released. With touring you get to visit so many stores in different towns it works out really well. At Midnight Madness this past April, I rushed to a Toys R Us and Wal-Mart straight after our show in Portland and spent a couple of grand on the new stuff. The bus is usually packed with boxes by the end of any tour and I become pretty unpopular for hoarding all the cupboards.

Annoy Quotes
Hopefully, we'll see all our favorite bounty hunters from Empire and others including Aura Sing searching the galaxy in the hunt for the scalps of any remaining Jedi, ... Maybe we'll see how Yoda ends up on Dagobah and what Alderaan does to annoy the Empire sufficiently to have it destroyed.

Aloud Quotes
Also Yoda 's scenes with the Emperor are so show stealing, especially when he Force flings Palpatine head over heels, ... I laughed aloud when Obi-Wan drops in to confront Grievous and his droids on Utapau . With a smirk, completely unbothered by being massively outnumbered he quips, 'Hello there.' Such cocky bravado from a Jedi , really!
