About the Author

Author

"One of my very first childhood memories is sitting in my living room on green shag carpet (it was the 70s) and seeing a trailer for the original Star Wars on TV. What sticks out most vividly is Luke Skywalker walking into Princess Leia's cell on the Death Star, removing his Stormtrooper helmet and proclaiming, 'I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!'

My love affair with Star Wars began then and has endured over the past forty-plus years." - Justin Berger
