That's interesting. What cinema did Kenny visit?

It was the Classic cinema in Monkseaton (not far from Newcastle). My mother took me to meet him but I was really confused about who he was. It didn't add up that R2D2 would have a man inside him. Despite not being that impressed at the time I'm really happy she took me to meet him!!!

Thanks for the info. I have a few dates from Kenny's tour listed but your cinema is a new one.

I recently bought 4,5 and 6 on that photo list and gave them to my daughter to read and she loved them. I only had the empire and second Star Wars as a child, later I got a rotj one at a charity shop in 86?

I also had this novelisation because my parents wouldn't take me?! It seems odd now but at least two of my childhood friends say the same thing we all waited for the video shop to get it.

More recently I have bought a lot of the dark horse books including the marvel vintage versions which are really nice

I remember that the novellisation actually came out quite a while before the film did, so maybe that's why so many of us had it. I went to see a fairly early showing of ROTJ in Leicester Square (June 83 I think, although maybe later), but I had already read the book beforehand, so knew the whole story. It was definitely before the school holidays anyway, as I can remember telling quite a few of my friends that Leia was actually Luke's sister.
