STAR WARS FEVER: In Bridgwater in 1999
TOOTHBRUSHES, back packs, glasses, mugs and more were being snapped up when Star Wars fever gripped Bridgwater in 1999.
Sci fi fans in the town were using the force - and their hard-earned cash - to snap up memorabilia as the newest film in the series, The Phantom Menace, hit the screens.
Pictured are Nicola Woodcock and Katanya Webber at the Bridgwater branch of Clinton Cards, with some of the Star Wars merchandise.
