The pictures you are about to see were taken by me back in 1985 when I was 10 or 11 years old. I totally forgot about it until a short time ago when my Dad found it while cleaning out his garage. I created a book using an old notebook that my Dad gave me. I titled it "The Jedi Quiz Book". In it, I had some trivia that I made up. Some of the questions were, "What does Ya Cha Nee Chu mean in Huttese?" and several other questions. There was also a section where I displayed my talented artistic abitity (like multi colored scribbles to simulate the explosion of the Death Star).
Being that I was only 10 or so, I got kinda mixed up on some of the questions. One was, "According to Mon Mothma, who died to bring the rebels the information on the Death Star in Return of the Jedi?" In the answer section, I put "Andy Bothans". Now that I am older and much, much more wiser (yeah right), she actually said, "Many Bothans died to bring us this information." Just a minor detail eh?
The following "dioramas" are not the best you will find. You can find many more higher quality ones on the net. The reason I put these up is because it brings back a lot of my childhood memories. It shows the creativeness and imagination that came about in children from the incredible Star Wars universe. This, in my opinion, is what it's all about. I hope that many people like me who played with their Star Wars toys endlessly, will appreciate it as much as I do.
 | Darth Vader lands on the Death Star (well, my front porch) and is greeted by Jejerrod and the Imperial Army | ||||
 | Jabba and friends just kinda hangin' out on my kitchen floor | ||||
 | Luke and friends battle Jabba's gang on a cleverly created skiff (a piece of wood with some paint stirring sticks for rails) over the new and improved, Special Edition Sarlacc Pit | ||||
 | The emporer lands on the Death Star (well, my front porch again) to meet with Vader and plan on turning Luke to the Dark Side | ||||
 | Admiral Ackbar explains to the rebels where the main generator is using a hologram of the Death Star (Ok, so it's a hacky sack on top of an upside down Max Rebo Band keyboard!) on the rebel ship (Ok again, it's my Dad's garage, but close enough!) | ||||
 | The Rebels meet up with the Ewoks and prepare for the battle in my front yard | ||||
 | Hence the battle begins at the bunker (check out the Ewoks kicking some AT-ST Driver butt) | ||||
 | The Rebels celebrate victory and restore freedom to the galaxy! (Like how I put Leia's arm around Luke? .... pretty cool) | ||||
Well, that about does it for this section. Let me know what you think. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Feel free to continue your journey of Star Wars collecting by following the link below.
