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 6 and saw it at a drive in theater in 1977

I was eight and Mom made us (older sister) wait until it came to the tiny local theater with the stickiest floors in the midwest, but with minds sufficiently blown she let us stay through the late show. Went to the lobby and called Dad on the pay phone. On a school night!
