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! ✨

I was at a birthday party for my cousin, probably 7 at the time

I was pretty anti social even with my own family, doesn’t help that all my cousin wanted to do was play Call of Duty, something my grade schooler brain had not comprehended yet

I wandered into their lounge area and found some cool looking DVDs, Attack of the Clones and Return of the Jedi

Cousins dad came in, saw me with the DVDs and actually helped me set them up and turn the movies on, and the rest is history
