Yoda wasn't in Star Wars. He didn't appear until Empire Strikes Back which was released in 1980.

Care I do not. Long time ago it still was.

where, perchance, did you get your U-boot captain's coat, and how do you like it?

i would never wear it, but my friend is looking for a new leather jacket and it was the first thing i thought of:

I well remember it (not suitandtieguy's birthday, Star Wars release). I was a first-year University student, and can recall queuing round the block to see it, the local cinema had about 4 showings a day for weeks instead of its usual two. I can also remember about the same time queuing for Saturday Night Fever, and, because it was banned in parts of the country, and therefore hyped to death, The Warriors. We'd watch anything in those days!

Well I got mine from here: http://www.wested.com/ the quality is excellent and once I have shrunk enough to button it up I shall be as happy as a sandboy!

A friend of mine bought the Indy jacket which is pretty cool, too.

Lufthansa do some good jackets, too. But they are a bit pricey. I can't find their English language shopping site right now...
