Britain's biggest Star Wars fan is moving home because he has run out of space to house his 20,000-strong collection of figures, toys, games and models.
Jason Buxton, 46, has amassed a galactic sized collection of memorabilia over 34 years and filled his four-bed detached home.
He is now planning to move his family-of-four to a larger property so he can buy more collectables from the new film The Force Awakens .
The dad-of-two, whose prized possession is a life-size R2-D2, said: "I've got well over 20,000 items now but I keep buying them, that's why we're going to need a bigger house.
"I got my first item when I was about 12 and it just started from there, obviously it didn't really escalate until I started working and I could by things myself.

"I wouldn't like to put a figure on it but I've spent thousands, every spare bit of cash I get I spend on Star Wars.
"It will be Christmas soon so my friends and my family will have bought me Star Wars stuff because it's easy to buy."
When Jason met his wife Maria 16 years ago, she knew nothing about the Star Wars saga.

But she is now completely converted and attends conventions with Jason dressed as characters from the films.
The couple have two children together, Ajay, 14 and Lucas, 13, named after legendary Star Wars director George Lucas.

As well as going to conventions up and down the country, Jason has already been to see The Force Awakens twice.
The warehouse distributor said: "It was the best thing ever, it whitewashes the last three and puts everything together. I will go and watch it again and again.

"I don't know exactly what it is about Star Wars - it's just got everything.
"You've got the shooting, you've got the love story, but it's the story of good.
"That's the main thing, that good triumphs over evil."
