The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that a couple of reports posted over the course of the weekend were brought to you by forum members Watto and Yamaro.
We’re pleased to be able to welcome them both to the Jedi News team of reporters and we expect that you’ll be hearing a lot more from them in the future.
For now, here’s a little bit about them both…
Watto has never seen the original trilogy in the cinema, he first saw Star Wars on VHS and grew up watching the Ewok cartoons and playing with the ‘vintage’ toys. His favourite being the Millennium Falcon which he received as a Christmas present, unfortunately he rather foolishly sold off his toys – forever to be regretted.
Yamaro is part of the Original Trilogy ilk and collected some of the figures and toys when he was a lot younger. This collection dissipated as he grew older until his passion was rekindled in the early Noughties and he discovered Ebay. Yamaro started off amassing a collection of Star Wars Lego kits and since then has digressed into anything Star Wars. The main character that he likes to collect is Yoda and so he will tend to look for anything to do with him first, after this if it has the Star Wars (and/or Lucasfilm) logo then he is interested.
