Oh how fun to be looking for something in the garage and come across all of Chip's Star Wars toys that were his when he was a child! All 98 figures and carrying cases are in such perfect condition considering Chip used to have little 7 year old heart attacks when his friends would actually get theirs dirty, or, the unthinkable - break Luke Skywalker's lightsaber! Jack has died and gone to heaven with the Millennium Falcon, and whatevertheheck you call the other ships.... I wonder what I could get if I put original Star Wars toys on ebay... Although I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing Chip as a boy through Jack and listening to all the sounds that Chip has taught Jack that these lightsabers and spaceships and characters make! Chip does do a pretty darn good Yoda...

Now I know Chip is a good father...letting Jack play with his Star Wars originals!
Love Jack's pose.
Original Star Wars figures: a small fortune
Seeing your husband & son play with them: priceless
That is so cute, really. We have recently introduced Star Wars to Inez since we were going to Disneyland and go on Star Tours, plus they have this Jedi Training Academy thing - kind of an audience participation show. You guys should go back to visit family and then you have the perfect excuse to go there too! Anyway, Dave and Inez were watching Episode II, and the part where Yoda fights the bad guy with his light saber had Inez entranced! After it was over, she turned to Dave and said, "Yoda's a good jumper!" It was so funny.
i just zoomed in on the pictures. oh my gosh, i can't believe how many he had! did he know george lucas or something? :) 98!?
Ha ha! From when Chip was about 5 to 11 or so, ALL he asked for for Christmas, birthdays, etc. was Star Wars stuff! You name it, he had it, sheets, underoos, everything! His parents had to keep a chart of all the characters he still needed so they didn't repeat them! Chip had many "Star Wars Christmases"
Star Wars toys = Jack's mission fund
