Area Pup Has Seen ‘Star Wars’ 72 Times

A local miniature dachshund puppy named Winston has now seen Star Wars a record 72 times. Because the original Episode IV: A New Hope has not been in theaters during his lifetime, Winston’s viewing has mainly been via Blu-Ray and television.

“72 times doesn’t really seem like a lot when you own it on disc,” said friend Stephanie Bowman. “But it’s a dachshund record by a wide margin. That’s over 6 days of Star Wars watching, which in human time is almost 44 days. That’s insane.”

According to Bowman, the dog is a Star Wars nut.

“He has it all – Luke Skywalker bed sheets, Darth Vader pajamas, his water dish is shaped like Yoda and he carries a stuffed Wookie everywhere he goes,” she said.

Still, even as huge a fan as Winston is, he remains skeptical of the upcoming sequels. 

“He just could never get into Lost,” said Bowman. “So he’s worried.”
