This is by no means a reflection on the seller, who was great. This item seems like a great idea, but doesn't quite work in practice. For starters it is very fiddly to put together - so is not really suitable for 8 year olds. Secondly, it relies on a tiny LED bulb to work... which is very easily damaged, and is ill fitting in the setting. Finally, when you do get it working, you need it very close to a flat ceiling to get it to be legible - which is somewhat of a challenge - i.e. you can't put it on a table and be able to read it on the ceiling.
My other half is an absolute Star Wars fanatic and he loved it as a gift, but to be honest, if you were not a fanatic, it is pretty dull. That said, it looks quite nice on the shelf. If a little plasticky.
