The Automatic Dig Boba and Bib
Words: Bonnie Burton

Iwan Griffiths, drummer of Welsh band The Automatic, chats with Starwars.com about his love for the saga, his family vacation to Tatooine, why Boba Fett should join the band and how he imagines Bib Fortuna spends his evenings.

What's your fondest Star Wars memory?
When I was about 11, I went on holiday with my family to Tunisia and we went to the town where they'd filmed the Tatooine scenes for the films. It was one of the coolest places I've ever been. I got my photo taken in my Yoda T-shirt on Tattooine. So that was pretty special.

Were you the kind of kid who would play with Star Wars toys?
I had quite a few Star Wars toys. I still do. My favorite was my lightsaber. I still have it, though it's pretty broken. It was cool though it made noises when you swung it. It sounded awesome!

Why do you still like to collect Star Wars toys and action figures?
I buy Star Wars stuff I guess because I still love Star Wars! I love my Han Solo action figure just because he's the coolest character, I reckon. I'm also pretty proud of my talking Yoda. I bought him on our first tour and he'd give good advice when times got tough. [laughs]
