How did you get hooked on Star Wars?


Evil Dark Jedi

Recommended Posts

Seeing the re-release of the Original Star Wars just prior the Empire Strikes Back. My parents took me, not sure if I would handle it, and I was never the same ever since.

 

My parents think it is cute that I still adore Star Wars, and they still joke about how my eyes were "glued to the screen" when they took me to see it!

Man, I would give anything to see the Original Trilogy in theaters. Who knows, maybe when EpIII is released, they will re-release Episodes I, II, IV, V, and VI. Or when the OT DVD set comes out maybe they will be in theaters.

 

Well I was too young to see the "Star Wars" in it's ORIGINAL realease, but I had story telling records. For some reason the town I lived in showed "Star Wars" briefly before the release of "The Empire Stikes Back"

 

I also saw "Return of the Jedi" during it's initial release, and I made a point to see all three movies during the "Special Edition".

 

I am such a geek that I saw "The Phantom Menace" in theaters 9 times, and saw "Attack of the Clones" about 5 or 6 times. ;)

Well, i'm not quite sure what made me do it, but we rented the Trilogy once and i was hooked. Luckily, that was around the time that Episode one was released, so i went to see that not long thereafter. Since then i've been hooked. I was one of the first people to watch Episode two, because in my town they showed it a day before it was Officially released :D.

Me outgeeks you....

 

ep 1 : 19 times (over 12 months)

ep 2 : 23 times (over 6 months)

ep 3 : ?? (if I like it more than 2 ........)

sad, but true (and Im only referring to theater viewings of course)

nb. alot of these times I didnt pay to see them, if I had to pay then those numbers would prolly be halved..... :p

 

I was 2 when ANH was released so didnt see it at the theaters....my gf did tho(she's a bit older), and Im quite envious of her for it :p

 

I first saw SW ANH in 1981, when I was 5 years old, on my parents then brand new 54cm colour TV :D

 

...The minute the music and the opening scroll started I felt myself startng to fall into a hypnotic like state..... then when the Blockade Runner zoomed past with the awesome Avenger in pursuit I was gone. How ever many times I watch that scene it is *freakin awesome*, cant wait to see it on DVD and surround sound next month ! :D

 

I really feel strange when ppl come on here who say they've never even seen ANH, or even the OT ! OMG ! :p

Back in late '82, it was like a "Holiday Party"-kinda deal, I was chilling, trying to hook up with this fine blonde. So, she drops this bag on the table, and you know, she dumps a little out, and cuts us a few fat lines. Naturally, I snort it... come on, wouldn't you? Well, turns out, it wasn't cocaine like I thought. It was Star Wars, and I've been hooked ever since.

Im 16 now and my earliest memories i have are of getting excited around christmas time because thats when they showed star wars on tv frequently. This is when i didnt completley understand the concept of video tapes so i have truly loved star wars as far back as i can remember.

I watched it first when I was 6. I was watching cartoons and a comercial came on saying that at 6 Star Wars the Empire Strikes Back and Stars Wars Return of the Jedi were coming on and going to play back to back. I convince my parents to watch it with me (and let me watch it for that matter),they fell asleep about an hour in but I watched it like if I missed a second of it my soul would be in the hand of Santan. And when the comercials came on I ran around around the house a few times pretending I was killing Stormtroopers.
