After more than 15 years attic raided to retrieve old Lego Star War kits and videos and busy making up Star Stations from the Outer Galaxy again with two visiting grandchildren and becoming re familiar with Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vadar. Unfortunately after all these years, the state of my knees could be considered as a 'Phantom Menace' for this activity and my poor eyesight means that distinguishing ever smaller pieces of the Lego can be an experience akin to the the 'Revenge of the Sith'. After a visit to a Star War exhibition in Dublin last week I have even been chased around the garden by two little people brandishing 'light sabres'. Indeed the whole experience could be said to equate with the general impact on one's physique of the intergalactic warfare illustrated in the movie of the 'Emperor Strikes Back'. Thus, I'm not entirely sure that, in my diminished physical condition, i totally welcome the 'Return of the Jedi' but the spirit is willing and the two boys seem happy to join in the fun with this 'Old-Wan' Kenobi!!
