Took my son to his first Star Wars film when he was three. He became a big fan and collected all the toys. We also found out you could send off to America for toys you couldn’t get here. When he was about thirteen I was having a clear out I asked if he still wanted the toys. He said no as he got into commuters in a big way. I gave them all to a charity shop. A few years later someone brought in Star Wars toys to the Antique Roadshow. Son said, mum, why did you give my Star Wars toys away?

Star Wars kind of went out of fashion for a while until they started making new ones. I remember my son saying “I’m too old for them” Now it’s my fault. A few years ago found Princess Leia buried in the back garden. My daughter said she buried her but couldn’t remember why. It was part of a game with her brother. When my son was about five he asked me not to call him by his name but to call him Luke. That went on for a few months.

Loved his appearance in The Big Bang Theory, hanging out with Sheldon and playing knock down ginger on a baseball bat wielding Carrie Fisher's house.

Interesting background to his life - apparently he spoke with a stammer for a time when he was a boy at school...
