Red 5 Standing By

Red 5 Standing By

I love Star Wars and I’m proud to say I’m part of the first generation of fans who saw it back in ‘77 when it first launched on the big screen.

One of the things that got me most excited about Star Wars (apart from Princess Leia) was the climactic assault on the Death Star. Surely every boy who ever saw that sequence wanted to be Luke Skywalker in an X-Wing!
