Today is the 45th birthday of Star Wars and the gang over at RS Propmasters have put together this superb video celebrating the day and chatting with a number of guests and friends at the recent Star Wars Fan Fun Day in Blackburn. Check out the video for some familiar faces and do what the guys do – put some candles on a cake and celebrate 45 years of Star Wars.

It’s 45 years since Star Wars was released in American theatres. We just wanted to make a quick video to mark the day and say HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAR WARS!!

To hear more from Star Wars Fan Fun Day check out recent and upcoming episodes of Making Tracks where we spoke to 10 guests. This week it’s Tim Dry and Sean Crawford from Return of the Jedi.
