Red 5 Standing By 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!

    A Star Wars fan hey :-)) Me too – also a Trekkie – They must have modeled the X wing fighter on these I recon. Great shot mate and well edited… Very nice indeed.

  • Thanks George! Isn’t it amazing what the natural world can inspire?!
