Today is the birthday of someone who a little over 30 years ago authored a book that ignited the collecting gene in a generation of Star Wars fans, a scene that has grown and grown to where we are today. That book was Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible, the author was Steve Sansweet and the entire team at Fantha Tracks want to wish Steve the very happiest of birthdays, and here’s to many more.

Remember, the Rancho Obi-Wan Gala returns on Saturday 21st October and as soon as further details are released you’ll find that information here on the site, and stay tuned to Fantha Tracks Radio where we hope to catch up with Steve, Anne and the Rancho team soon.
