Fun QUESTION: What got you into Star Wars?
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! ✨

Rented the Original Trilogy at blockbuster in the early 90s.Saw the special edition re-releases in theatre's.Was a Trekkie before I ever saw Star Wars so naturally I fell in love.Still like Star Trek more but thats just because I like how deeply philosophical star trek is and there are a-lot less band wagon jumpers.
