'Star Wars' enthusiast Keith Guppy has the world's biggest collection of memorabilia from the sci-fi flick.

The 41-year-old, who is beginning to run out of space for all of his 'Star Wars' paraphernalia, owns 90 per cent of the movie merchandise lines ever released, the Daily Express reported.

Guppy, from Yeovil, Somerset, said that his earliest memory is when his father took him to the cinema to see the original films and it all started from there.

Guppy, who claims there's still more things he wants, added that it's just a childhood thing as the collecting evokes great memories and he loves it.

 

He noted that the amount of collectables grows all the time because the number of films has gone up too, adding that he's really looking forward to the new films as he thinks Disney will do a good job on them.

Guppy added that the collection takes up quite a lot of room in the house, but fiance Emma understands and is very supportive generally and his kids, who quite like the collection, have the Star Wars video game.

He concluded that he hasn't decided what will happen to it and if his children stay interested then he will leave it all to them.
