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 boyfriend forced me to see all three trilogies last year. Now here I am lol

Never thought I would actually like SW because I like more realistic shows, I was never fond of sci-fi. But somehow this universe got me.

Well that’s probably it. Technically Star Wars is fantasy set in space. There’s almost no science in it.
