And what better day to share them with you than May 4 which is Star Wars Day.
There are photos from The Bridges shopping centre where a fundraiser with a theme from the film was held in 2014.
We have a reminder of a sci-fi fair at the Seaburn Centre in the same year and the Kingcon Comic Convention at the Stadium of Light, in 2016.
See how many of these photos bring back memories for you.
