I grew up with them, evrything kind off evolved around Star Wars we were so hooked up in it me and my friends. Mamber of the SW fan club received bantha tracks 4 times a year it was cool. Besides footbal(european style) and girls SW was the thing up until the end(first one) in 1983 with the great finale ROTJ. But ANH still gives me that boyish feeling and it is great. Get to be a kid again for at least 2 hours, 6 if you watch the entire OT
But the attached picture is what caught my attention it blew me away and I was totally sold. Guess thats what you call love at first sight, I read the comic a couple of time each day until I saw the movie almost a month later.
You can see the cover is a bit worn.
Have to read it on the bed now, Monika(my girlfriend) just rolls her eyes seeing I found this comic again. But hey its Star Wars, what can you say.
That would be cool. I am seriously thinking of changing my stance to that of Star Wars over Episode I. This does not mean the latter is no good for it still introduces us to Qui Gon and Darth Maul. Howver after watching my dvd over and over within the last week I have gotten sick of the Duel of the Fates music. Go figure. 馃槷
I grew up with the original trilogy, I cannot tell you how many times i've watched ANH, ESB or ROTJ. Everytime I watch them again, I am still enthralled and the hairs never fail to stand up on the back of my neck when Han shoots the tie to give luke a clear run in ANH or when Luke goes bezerk fighting Vader in ROTJ, er, sorry i'm waffling.
When I heard there were to be prequels made I wet myself.
To cut a long story short, their nothing compared to the OT, it has destroyed much of my faith in Lucas and to compare ANH with PM is like comparing...... well I don't know.
ANH wins.
