To say that she was excited would be to say that you are fond of Colin Firth movies . . . I think she burned through her camera card in about 3 minutes. In fact, her excitement was so infectious that I (who have not even seen all the Star Wars movies) started injecting Star Wars tidbits into my speaking events . . . and in the past 4 months I have given 5 copies of various Star Wars books as gifts!

I can see a whole Star Wars Poetry Collection. Jaba, Ewoks, Chewy. There must be poems for or from them. <br /> The last time I was at Magdelin College in Oxford, I thought their gargoyles looked like Star Wars characters. <br />Thank you for a delightful post.
