Steve was 5 years old when he saw Star Wars for the first time during its first UK cinema release. He considers himself a first generation Star Wars fan and in his own words is a ‘Child of 77’.
With no new films on the horizon, he moved on from Star Wars around the age of 15 to pursue other interests. Then in 1991 a newly released book on the shelf of WH Smith caught his attention and the circle was complete. That book was the expanded universe novel by Timothy Zahn; ‘Heir to the Empire’. The Star Wars candle was relit and then in 1995 with the release of the POTF2 figures, petrol was thrown on that candle, which over the last 20+ years has now become an out of control raging forest fire once more.
He is a collector of comics, novels, books, figures, Lego and a myriad of other items and boasts a collection of all ‘Legends’ era and original novels on first editions in his collection.
Steve is new to Star Wars writing and has had some guest articles posted here on Jedi News recently.
