IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...
RETURN TO THE DARK SIDE
REBUILDING THE DEATH STAR
The best and brightest toy any boy could have owned from the Star
Wars universe was the Millenium Falcon. It was always the first question
asked when toys came up - and the cool kids all had one. I had my
chance, one snowy week before Christmas, when my parents were out and
about and drove me to a toy store. When my Dad asked me if I could
have one thing and only thing in the entire store, I headed straight to
the Star Wars aisle. I remember walking up and down the aisle, a
list of pros and cons running in and out of focus in my little
developing brain. Of all the toys, spaceships, figures and
playsets available to me, I pointed at the Death Star and said, "I want
that." My Dad reassurred me I wasn't getting it for Christmas, but
when Mom shuffled me into the car with Dad still in the store, my
suspicions were raised. I looked through the crack of the rear
window to see the box being stuffed into the trunk of the car.
That was a very good Christmas. With most of the parts
still in my possession, I am going to aim to REBUILD THE DEATH STAR
on Tuesday, November 23. Stay tuned, as I am already perusing
the plans...
