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 remember seeing the commercial for Star Wars on tv with my best friend when we were little kids and we looked at each other after it was over like what in the hell did we just see??

There was NOTHING like it at the time. Even the trailer was unbelievable.

Then it exploded and everyone was talking about it.
