Pete in ROTJ weekly

A few years back naughtyjedi or the Vintage Rebellion's Peter Davis posted a pic of him meeting Vader after winning a toy prize.

This weekend I spotted a letter from a 10 year old Pete in ROTJ weekly - what a great record to have of that event!

That is absolutely amazing

Brilliant piece of nostalgia, great stuff

And he's not changed a bit :lol:

Love it, amazing you found this.

That's very cool, does he still have the photo mentioned in the letter?

I think it is a little strange that not many of the kids writing to the comic is star wars collectors or something like that today on forums :shock:

I think it is the same in denmark. I have only heard about 1 or 2 collectors that has a letter in the danish star wars comics and danish fan club magazines :shock:

Probably around 2000 letters/writers in these things Pomse2001 and there are maybe a couple of 100 regularly posting collectors on Facebook, of which I'll recognise/remember maybe 50 names. A good chance I've missed a few

That is cool, that so many writers from the comics is still active in the star wars universe, I would also think it would be strange if they were not active today

I think you misunderstood Lars, I don't know any others like Pete bit would imagine that some writers still collect
