The season of giving is upon us, and we all know how generous the Star Wars community can be. Our official IndyCast correspondent Mitchell Hallock sends in this update from ChronicleOnline about a Star Wars fan from Ohio named Adam Shields who has decided to donate his entire collection to the Elyria Salvation Army.

"ELYRIA — It’s been a year since Adam Shields walked into The Chronicle-Telegram just days before Christmas with his massive “Star Wars” collection in tow.

The figurines, both big and small, were packed in boxes — several boxes. There was Han Solo, Darth Vader, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. Some were from the late 1970s, when “Star Wars” first graced the big screen as a box office hit. Others were newer and cooler, with voice boxes and attachments, made around the time “Star Wars: Episode 1” came out in 1999.

They were the pride and joy of Shields, now 36. But when he walked through the door that cold day, he was dead set on giving it all away to the Not-Forgotten Box, the annual toy drive sponsored jointly by the Elyria Salvation Army and The Chronicle-Telegram.

Maybe another little kid can enjoy these as much as I have, he said at the time."
