    You can tell me all about your collection though and that's exactly what Luke is doing with JD. Born in the UK but now living in Australia, Luke's passion for Star Wars has led him to helping run online groups and even contributing to a growing YouTube channel along with Jorge, the first Star Wars collector to appear on this podcast. The collecting community is vast but it really is a small world sometimes.
