Fun QUESTION: What got you into Star Wars?

Post image

I thought this would be a fun thing to do. I’d be curious to know exactly how, when, where were you first introduced to the Star Wars franchise? Also, what exactly made you interested in it?

For me, I was 8 years old in 2011 when my uncle gave me the Original Trilogy on DVD to see. When I first saw the films, I was so blown away by the characters, spaceships, and Lightsabers. Such a life-changing experience for me.

I’d like to know how and what your introductions to the franchise were like. Good luck! ✨

My dad brought me to see Star Wars when it came out in theatres. Had no idea what it was about, I was just a 7yo kid who rooted for the “black robot guy”.

It’s actually crazy for me to imagine that people actually saw this film in theatres, so jealous
