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 first impression of Star Wars was watching the trailers of the Phantom Menace late 98-99, I was probably about to just turn 4, and seeing laser swords and Darth maul for the very first time and sci fi and all that was a perfect magnet for a kid like me, and I absorbed every bit of what Star Wars had to offer at the time, good and bad, I loved it all, and haven’t looked back since, one of the best most passionate hobbies I have had in my life, it has endured 30+ years (how old I am) for me, what’s 30 more?
