Nathan Hamill is a talented artist, toy designer and luckily, being that he's the son of Mark Hamill, a life long Star Wars fan.

| 0:08.7 | classic clip which is available in full at patreon.com forward slash steel wars. |
| 0:20.0 | Now we ask this of every guest. |
| 0:23.0 | Okay. |
| 0:23.6 | And I'm fascinated for your answer because you're a bit more embedded. |
| 0:28.9 | But what's your first memory of Star Wars? |
| 0:31.9 | Oh, man. |
| 0:34.8 | I seem to remember vaguely very large trees, which would have been the redwood forest and teddy bears. |
| 0:45.0 | But I don't know. |
| 0:48.5 | It's hard to say. |
| 0:49.4 | I don't know if that's a real memory or if I've invented it, you know? |
| 0:52.6 | Either way, do you think the trees were real or on a set? No, those were the real ones. I have, I know I was there, but I don't know if I was, you know, as Louis C. case is making memories. So, but yeah, that and, uh, I remember seeing Java on the, the big screen. So that would have been, yeah, an 83. And then, yeah, I guess just watching it |
| 1:11.4 | on video mostly because it was, I was born in during the second one. Now, I did a brief |

Like, who cares? Everyone knows what you're talking about. |
| 1:52.5 | Exactly, exactly. The scene where it crushes the snow speeder, he was trying to get DAC out of the |
| 1:58.6 | back. So that was the scene. I don't know if it was that day or... I think it was that day. But... Okay, because I read the next day he had to get on set to film the hanging from the antenna scene. Oh, I don't know. How do you know more about this? Because I googled it at the Spurn. |
| 2:18.2 | But when has the internet got everything wrong? |
| 2:20.1 | Yeah, that's true. |
