    I am not a big Star Wars fan but by being the only female in the house, I have been exposed to plenty and the three 'men' here really love Star Wars. The book you mention sounds like a great Christmas idea.

    Nicely organized lens. (Although you might want to fix the typo in the title.) I am going to lensroll it to my Star Wars Christmas Decorations lens.
