Dave Oldbury, a postman from Southampton, has turned his
semi-detached house into a shrine to the Star Wars franchise, and is
also offering a B&B service in the run up to the release of the new
film.
Dave says he has spent around £150,000 on the
transformation, which includes masses of memorabilia such as action
figures, film posters, books, toy spaceships and even life-size Storm
Troopers.
Other Star Wars fans are going to be allowed to stay the
night at a guest room in the house, named the Solo Suite, for £35 per
night.
Dave is 46 and has been collecting Star Wars items since he
was 8 years old. He has around 3,000 items in total, which fill the
house, and so around 500 pieces have had to take their place in the
garage instead.
Dave said that he is looking forward to showcasing
his collection to fellow Star Wars fans, but that they shouldn't use
the side passage, as that path leads to the dark side...
