Midlands Memories: 1982 Star Wars toys !
As the latest Star Wars installment "The Force Awakens" opens in cinemas worldwide, our archive trawl proves that the Midlands can definitely claim a slice of that earlier cinematic success.
For our latest Midlands Memories update, we've gone back to October 1982, when toy-maker Palitoy from Coalville in Leicestershire manufactured and sold around £150 million pounds worth of Star Wars toys from the earlier films.
