This float was my favourite. I’m not sure there were hidden messages, I just thought he was fabulous. The music that played as he appeared was from Star Wars – the scene in the bar with Sy Snoodles. My son was four when we saw the first Star Wars movie and he became an instant fan, so did I. I bought the soundtrack for him and I found him one day listening with a blissful look on his face. He said “Mummy, I get so excited when I hear this.” I’m sure he will be thrilled that I have recounted this. I love the music too, especially that bit. Perhaps that influenced my attraction to the big green man.
Don’t you think he is impressive?
