A long time ago...

...in a galaxy far, far away.

Probably the most famous movie opening line ever? Certainly if you don't know what I'm talking about after the first four words, you've probably been living under a rock for the past 35 years. (Crap, where did that 35 years go, anyway?)

Yes, like many, I am a Star Wars fan. Not hard-core-dress-as-a-stormtrooper, but I still like the movies and have fond memories of playing with all sorts of fun toys as a kid. Over the years, I've picked up a few sets of the old West End Games Grenadier minis. I don't know that they will ever be gamed, but they are fun to paint.

So while the main focus remains historicals, I think Star Wars qualifies, don't you?
