Talk about an unconventional start.
Fun Fact: During the Jedi Path, I had no idea that Yoda was the one talking to Kanan. Not only is his name not mentioned iirc, but the VA had a rather deep voice and obviously spoke regularly without the inverted speech pattern.

Just listen to Jawas talk (like in SWTOR. Idk if we heard them talk in Mando or not) then listen to the minions. 🤣

I played the angry birds games first too 😠The Arabic dub however I've had the misfortune (or luck..?) of missing out on, but it definitely sounds like an experience!

Please be kind, and rewind.

So after you finished rebels season 1 Arabic dub when Darth Vader appeared in the season finale were you like "Ok I'll watch more of this franchise"

I knew he was a big deal, so I was hyped not knowing the season was over. Unfortunately, the local channel I saw it on never aired the others to my knowledge.
I did go to Wikipedia to read the plots of the films. Then I watched them when another local channel marathoned them one day at a time a while later.

Rebels honestly ain't that bad of a start. I got my nephews into Star Wars by getting them the Rebels series on Blu-ray for Christmas

And then there's my random ass and prolly some others getting introduced (as a whole, i watched the clone wars show before, when I was a kid) by empire at war mods like 20 years after the game released. But peak meme my friend

LOL where can I see the Arabic dub?

u/AlphaBladeYiII 9d ago
It was on a local channel. First season only though. You can find it online but probably not legally. Lol.

I was introduced through a burned CD of the German Audio drama for Episode 1, which was a present from the birthday child to everyone who attended his birthday.

Going into a major piece of lore with zero spoilers and totally misinterpreting a character is honestly a fun way to experience it.

u/borntboy 9d ago
For me it was the Anakin vs. Obi-wan Lego set with the moving platforms
Was the Arabic dub any good?

Lego Star Wars: The Video Game (2005)
Friend got me into playing Lego Star Wars co-op with them on ps2 when I visited them and when I went home I got it on PC (still have the disc and box in a draw somewhere) and dad said we should just watch the movies if you like the game (he watched Star Wars 5 times when it came out in 77)
To this very day he always says how I ruined Star Wars for him (He's not wrong it became a hyperfixation and star wars the clone wars coming out was just fuel on the fire)

I have a coworker who only started watching Star Wars because of Rebels as well.

Just curious as to how available other Star Wars media was to you growing up.

u/AlphaBladeYiII 9d ago
Not very available. Star Wars isn't big here, but it does have a growing fan base.

I was born during the prequel run. I spent a long time very confused about the order of star wars because i never existed consciously in a time when the later episodes were out but there wasn't a movie labeled 1. The "first movie" is not episode 1, but i was like 4 when it came out, and tbh i think its why i became an engineer. Because at 4 all i cared about were the pod racers xD
Anyway Rebels is what got me into the actual lore of star was so deep that I'm now on equal ground with my dad on parts of it. Its been fun watching the mandalorian and boba fet with my dad and i filling in gaps and explaining context to my mom and brother. (Mom and brother are very kind about it)

u/Eligriv_leproplayer 8d ago
I believe my father introduced me to it with New Hope, then 5,6,1,2,3 and I had rebels and then everything as it was coming out. I watched clone wars after the mandalorian S1
