My earliest Star Wars memory is watching Return of the Jedi on a long plane flight around 1984 or so I think I was round 6 or so - and I stayed up to watch it more than once because of the Slave Leia costume. =) The first items I ever got were three action figures: a Gamorrean guard, the Rancor keeper, and Chewbacca.

Further collecting did not really ensue until the release of the Special Editions. This led me to focus on the vehicles. I went a little overboard with merchandise for Episode I and thus did not pick up any for the rest of the Prequel Trilogy.

Star Wars is not one of my primary collecting focuses as the moment, however I am thinking of getting into it again. However I've realized that with collecting Star Wars in particular, and unless your name is Steve Sansweet, that the Star Wars collectible universe is so vast that it is extremely helpful to focus. The question for me now is what to focus on? I have my eye on some Japanese chirashi at the moment, as this is an example of really focusing.

I have primarily followed the six films and am thus not as familiar with the Clone Wars or a lot of the Expanded Universe, except for previously owning Battlefront II and reading the first four books of the Rogue Squadron series. However in hindsight the novels were such a blast to read that I'm thinking of picking up again with this series at least.
