    @Grinchy it's so pleasing to hear that Star Wars helped you through a tough time in your life when you were young. It's always lovely when we have those hobbies or interests that never let us down, and always leave a smile on the face.

    I've never actually seen Star Wars, I should add

    Hey @Ross_Scope, thank you, it kept me going through the abuse, i knew Luke and the gang would always be there for me, as for not seeing the movies, well its not for everyone i know, but if you do decide to give them a try, start with the original movies star wars empire and jedi, still the best trilogy

    you get two heads with yoda, and alternate hands with the luke, all in all a great set
