Sandi Thom’s Star Wars Misery

When it comes to famous science fiction fans you don’t get more of the moment than singer Sandi Thom, who has claimed that losing all her Star Wars figures as a child was the “saddest moment” of her life.
The Scottish singer, whose new single The Devil’s Beat is released 19 May, told Metro this week that her entire collection was lost when her mother made her lend the toys to her cousin Robert.
“Me and my brother had all the Star Wars figures and the Millennium Falcon when we were children,” Thom revealed. “My mum made us lend them to our cousin Robert. The night we lent them to him, his house burnt down and all our toys were destroyed. It was the saddest moment of my life.”
Thom recently told web site Digital Spy that her new single The Devil’s Beat was inspired by the George Lucas’ Star Wars movies.
The chart-topping singer says she doesn’t go to conventions but she likes her sci-fi. “When I was little, I’d come home and want to watch Neighbours but my brother would make me watch Babylon 5 or Star Trek,” she told Metro. “I had to watch the Borg attack Star Trek people all the time – it must have left an impression.”
