I remember when I was young after Episode 4 broke reading in some magazine about all the model kits used to make these movie models. I still remember how aweshockingly amazing the opening scene was and how cool the effects were. It was awesome to see as an 8 year old kid in the theater for the first time. I saw Ep. IV 5 times in the theater when it first came out.

The first movie, it was the first time we had to wait in line to buy tickets and then wait outside (So. Cal.) till the theater was ready.

Unfortunatly I was not born to watch the first 3 movies in theater for their initial release (well technically, I could have watched Return of the Jedi, I was 2 months old ).
The opening scene of Episode IV was something unseen yet, an ever ending ship taking all the screen ! And that Star Destroyer built for Episode IV was half the size of the one built for Empire, it was only 120 cm long ! They had to build a special optic to stay in focus as they were very very close to the model when they filmed the scene. That's fantastic and I'm sad I havent been able to watch them in theater but discover them on TV (and the incorrect order, Empire Strikes back was the first movie Ive seen, maybe that's why it's my favorite).

Unfortunately, I was born long before the first Star Wars film was released.

An amazing project. Such commitment to the cause!

Everyone loves a bit of Star Wars! Great models you’ve made!

I enjoy building the Lego Star Wars kits with my son

Mr Tox your work is both astonishing as it is a Hyperdrive through time where I too went to see the first release ( partIV) at EVERY session that first day in New Zealand.
Ive seen part 4 13 times just in movie theatres, countless on VHS etc since, and I could recite the ENTIRE script for all characters without fault for years ...........
I had a 24 inch tall Darth Vader in the box unopened( wish i still had that) and his T.I.E. (Twin Ion Engine) fighter from Monogram (wish I still had that too) and a Monogram X-Wing with R2D2 in behind the cockpit ......................(no loss Im not a Skywalker guy)
They lost me with the teddy bears knocking out Stormtroopers
