It started back in the early 80's, I suppose. I was just a kid, I didn't know what I was doing half the time - always up to no good, seeing one sci-fi flick or another .... I'd messed around with Jawas, then ugnaughts and Yoda... any sort of 1m tall alien, really, as long as they made a funny noise. I even went through a phase of R2s and R5s, but they weren't cuddly enough. Well, one thing led to another - I thought I was in control - I carried my Jawa figure around with me, sure, but I knew I could leave it at home if I wanted to, but, ah, once I saw those furry hooded guys, well, that was when I really lost it. It wasn't until I bought a cuddly wokling for my sister for Xmas, and realised I couldn't give it to her that I finally realised I had a problem. I was on to the hard stuff. Taping the cartoon show. Learning all their names. I guess you've heard all this before. I've been in rehab for some time now, I hope I'm over it, just taking it one_day_at_a_time. Baby steps. As long as no-one says "Yub yub", I'm okay. Or reminds me of... of that sad bit one when 2 of them get caught in an explosion, and one of them.... one of them shakes the other .... and he's dead .... excuse me.
