Nostalgia: Kirkcaldy in thrall to The Phantom Menace

The town’s Woolworths made sure it was stocked with memorabilia from the film and also held a Star Wars trivia quiz.
Woolies’ manager Liz McDougall said stock had been flying off the shelves: “Titanic was popular, but we haven’t seen anything like this – and the film isn’t even out yet!”
