  Jeff's memories of Star Wars.
  He wasn't taken to the movies very often. The first movie he saw at a theater was Crocodile Dundee.
  His first experience of the movies was therefore watching it on network TV.
  He was 12 when he first saw Star Wars and this was after <i>Return of the Jedi</i> had already been released.
  He knew of the movies via the Star Wars toys that his friends had.
  He was scared by Star Wars the first time he saw it due to all the creatures / monsters.
  Mentioned: Ghostbusters.
  He thought the Star Wars movies were cheesy but grew to appreciate them over time; although he's never been an obsessive fan.
  In relation to Jeff's Star Wars related artistic / cartoon work - he likes the design, look and feel of Star Wars.
  Watching the movies again recently has reminded him how good they are.
  Jeff has seen <i>The Phantom Menace</i> but has not watched the other two prequels.
  Jeff's son asked him who Luke's and Leia's mum is and his answer was that they don't really talk about it
