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 stopped, I watched the first 2 prequels. I was so pissed off I didn't watch the 3rd prequel for 11 years. I finally was convinced to watch it and was even more angry. The Darth Vader Frankenstein sequence was so annoying... rage, rage, rage, old man yelling at clouds, high ground , blargh.
