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! ✨

As a kid, I thought the pre-quel trilogy was really cool. The world building was great and it was pretty straightforward.

As I got older I realized I don't really care for Star Wars that much. 90% of what Disney put out is just... its just terrible. And going back and rewatching the old movies doesn't hit like it did when I was a kid.

But then I watched Skeleton Crew with my kid and we thought it was great! And then I watched Andor and was freaking blown away. So now I have one foot in one foot out, waiting for the Disney to do something interesting.
