How Did You Become A SW Fan?

i had a day off school and was bored then all three of the OT were on in a row on a sky movie channel so i sat and watched them, i was surprised how much i loved it

i was 4 years old when i saw my first SW movie that was in 1981 it was like entering a magical world, from there on i tottaly got hooked on SW the older i got the more stuff i started 2 buy but now these days i am taking it a bit more eassier 😄

Seriously Dragon. Star Wars has taken quite a chunk of my funds over the years. I've had to cool it as well.

Lyn, dont even be embarrased about rambling, this is Star Wars we're talkin about!

I remember at school I used to tell my religion teacher that I believed more into the force and obiwan being my god more than Jesus. Duno if this happenned to some of you but in my school I was the only one thinking this way eheheh

[B]Wow, wasn't anybody alive when the OT hit theaters??? I feel so old.

You`re lucky that you were alive when SW first came out. It would have been so cool to be there and see the OT in theaters.

It was 1978, over a year after it first hit theatres in my area, and I was seven years old when I saw Star Wars, A New Hope. My brother took me to see it and I was hooked from the opening scene. We went back the next week to see it again before it left the theatre for good. Of course that was well before VCR's so many years would pass before I would see it a third time..4th..5th..100th..etc

I saw Star Wars when it first came out in 1977 and was sold

I saw Empire before New Hope, and it blow me away, i remember seeing the AT AT's, the duel with Darth and Luke, it my Favourite.

I was 7 when A New Hope came out, seeing all the hysteria on the news.
How Lucas filmed model shots in his garage, i was fasinated by the models. And then ROTJ, the swarm of Tie fighters attacking the Millenium Falcon "Theres to many of them".

I saw Star Wars 9 times in the theaters, Empire 6 times, and RotJ 8 times. This was back before VCR's y'know!

I first saw episode4 when I was two years old and was hooked I even collected the toys but now I just collect the starwars posters because I have collection room for now may force be with you all.

I really don't consider myself a dedicated fan of Star Wars. There are many things I love about SW. But I don't consider myself a fan 100%. I guess you can consider me a fan on a regular basis, but NOT a fanatic.

when i was 3 or 4 my mother showed me these films and i became a fan since then.

I watched the film then i was a fan.

I was, I think 3 and my uncle got me to watch the movies, and he dressed up as Vader once and I automatically knew who it was. I've been a fan ever since.

Even my 13th birthday party was Star Wars themed, and my uncle showed up in his Vader outfit and lightsabers and we had duels.

😆

these are all great posts,i was 6 when i saw ESB my uncle took me,i just remember i was in awe,each character was just unique to me,i was scarred of darth vader,and cried when luke got his hand cut off,shocked when i found out darth was lukes father,and of course the mighty lightsaber just amazed me,i'm in my 20's now,and i still buy the merchandise,i play with the lightsabers i bought with my niece all the time,and i think my favorite moment in star wars history was when luke wipped out a green saber in rotj,i must of seen it 5 times in the theatre becouse of that green lightsaber...

I remember being sooo scared of the mynocs in ESB. When that thing hit the Falcon's cockpit window I freaked! The cave on Dagobah was pretty creepy too.

What can I say? Gross things scare me more than big hulking things.

o0o man, the Dagobah cave scared the hell out of me.

The first time I saw it I didn't realize it was only a vision, and I thought Vader was Luke's evil twin.

After watching Jedi when I was small and the rest as they say is history 🙂
