Since I first saw ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ at the cinema in 1980 I’ve been a massive fan of the Star Wars saga. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen the films, I’ve spent thousands of pounds collecting anything and everything to do Star Wars, I’ve travelled around the world to meet up with other fans at conventions, I’ve met hundreds of the actors and crew involved in the production of the films, I contribute to a weekly Star Wars podcast and I’ve even visited some of the shooting locations that were used in the movies. I understand that not everyone shares my love of George Lucas’s space opera, there are some who only recognise the original trilogy, there are younger fans who consider the prequel trilogy their Star Wars and there are others who have grown tired of the saga and no longer revisit it. Whether you’re a fan of the galaxy far, far away or not, it’s hard to think of a group of films that have had more impact on modern cinema and when offered the chance to host #MTOS I couldn’t think of a better topic ... I want to know what YOU think about my favourite films of all time.
