I'm not a champ. Just an ordinary bloke, trying to reach out and have a chat with people who might share similar interests. All the best to you.

Plus - I'm not remotely interested in buying or selling, as I'm not a collector. So my interest lies in reminiscing, or telling anecdotes, connected to growing up as an original star wars fan. If anyone is interested. And that is frankly almost impossible to do, in a few lines.

But on a serious level..... Yes, I like to fully express what I need to say. And the sad aspect of life, as it speeds up, year upon year, means that folks just want everything instantly and now. Especially on the internet. And its such an effort to get through anything longer than 3 lines, that...

PS..... There may have been a sprinkling of irony in that last comment of mine. Have a sift through it, and see if you can see it. 😉

You aren't wrong 😁

Ha, ha, I've just seen this post.... Years later..... And do you know what my initial reaction was? (Aside from the nostalgia for Christmas back in the 80s). I'm thinking I must be seeing a classic example at work, of the North/South divide 😂😉 A millennium falcon AND lots of other presents...

..... PS.... I fully realise that in a lot of households these days, a hundred pounds spent at Christmas, per child, would be nothing. Even with four children. Five times that amount, likely. Crikey, ten times, in some cases. Even back in the day, that was the case,I would guess. But not in...

Ha, isn't it amazing how you gain a fresh view of things in your adult years. Just a daft little observation - I'm realising more and more as time goes on, that I've been fairly naive throughout my life. Take the star wars toys. Kenner and palitoy. Now, I'm not a collector at all. I only have a...

Yes, I agree with all of that. I have to admit ...I'm actually on Facebook, but detestc social media. Which sounds contradictory, but isn't really. I think it's a good last-ditch place to have a contact there, just for anyone who has no other way to contact you in life. Say, old school pals or...

A lot of people would stop you, and point out, the fact that, you and I are currently able to chat, only because of the internet. But not me. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Because you specifically highlighted "social media". The opiate of the masses. The internet has many brilliant uses. But...

Exactly. We concur. And here's a little thought, on a slightly different tangent, to tag onto the end of all this - For all the marvelousness of the modern world, with the internet, it's instant communication (such as us talking now, for example), the connectivity of absolutely everything these...

Yknow, I've been looking more into the history, lately, of the original release dates of the original Kenner line, but more specifically what was released here, through palitoy. I'm not even a collector, so much. But just love the nostalgia of remembering having them, back when they came out...

And even though that last theory I described, might sound a little bit out there, listen to this other observation - It's not even to do with star wars. I saw the kids film Frozen, a few years back. Now, it's set in some fairy tale, that is clearly based on a European type country. Germany...

Pure logic in the way we say them, is my whole meaning, behind the whole Hahn thing. I can't profess to know the technical and intellectual aspect of word construction/pronunciation... At all... But just purely in the case concerning Hahn, I don't think it's a logical use of pronunciation. I...

.... The advent of the expanded universe. People suddenly got very anal and very detailed about everything. Suddenly everything had to have a back story..... Who made it, which planet it was from, which species it is, etc etc. I personally don't give a stuff for any of that. The original trilogy...

I think you're spot on, with the observation that it's mainly Luke with the Hahn thing. I can actually hear him very clearly saying it, in my head. Maybe that stretched out way of saying certain words, is more prevalent in certain parts of the US, than others. IE where mark Hamill is from. Mind...

Just as an addition to this post - I've just watched Empire, for the first time in a good while today, and smiled when I heard both Carrie fisher, and Billy Dee Williams, pronounce it as "Han" and not "Hahn". In that film, if not any other ones. Ha... Praise be 😁 I'm wondering whether it's...

..... Of Course, if we aren't careful here, by talking about the changes in the pronunciation of things over the years, we might easily stray into the realm of discussing the dreadful CGI "improvements" that George Lucas added, to the original 3 films, over the years. Uh oh, careful now 😂

Ha. Love it 😁

....."I'm just off down the clinic, love.... I've got a touch of gamma-ria I'd like them to sort out" 😂😂
