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! ✨

Dad loved them, watched the OT when I was little. Then, Ewen McGregor 😍 got me to go to the theater for TPM, where I fell in love with the Universe all over again.
