An English family is such a huge 'Star War's buff, that their house no longer has the space to fit the 'Star Wars' souvenirs.

Jason Buxton from Ixworth, near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, had started his collection when he went to a car boot sale 30 years ago, and today he continues to get his hands on every 'Star Wars' memento with his sons Lucas and Ajay, the Daily Star reported.

The family owns more than 20,000 items including a Darth Vader suit, and every room in their four-bed home, including the loft and shed, are so full of souvenirs, that Jason, 44, has had to move part of the collection to his parents' home and friends.

He said that they were so nuts about the legendary film series, that they watched a Star Wars movie clip on TV, online or using a wall projector every day, and all their holidays were booked around Star Wars events.

Jason, who had named his son Lucas after director George Lucas, and their family dog Chewy after the Chewbacca character, added that his most prized items were a replica R2D2 and the full-size Darth Vader outfit, and though they had met nearly all of the film's actors, it was still "fascinating.
