My brother and cousin would make recordings of multiple read-alongs on a tape that made a silly story. We'd listen to it over and over until we laughed so hard that we peed in our pants.

He probably has every Star wars novel ever written, and there are a ton. He has a dictionary of all the characters that appear in anything Star Wars ever. And those are just the things I remember from a perusal of his living room bookshelf one time.<BR/>We had some of the toys, too -- don't think they survived.<BR/><BR/>I liked the love story aspect -- only in recent years have I somewhat understood the politics in the stories. The prequels really helped with that, and I like the movies, even if Luke and Leia's parents were kind of cheesy.<BR/><BR/>I mean, a woman with two newborn babies lost the will to live over a man. Could she really be the mother of the Leia we saw Carrie Fisher portray? <BR/><BR/>Heroes tonight!

It took a while, but eventually I learned to love all the other films, too.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737140275571452756noreply@blogger.com
