Snafu7 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I think I first watched at my old bady sitters house for the first time around 96 or 97, and I couldn't stop watching them, and I'm still addicted to the originals today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 heck if i know. from what my parents tell me, they showed the whole trilogy to me before i was 3 years old. i guess what really did it was when they bought the entire original trilogy (as in the first version before the late 90's updates) on VHS. eventually, i got addicted to it, and couldn't stop watching it with my sister when i was about 8-9 years old. from there, i've been doing the yoda quotes in debates and playing the occasional SW game that came down the pipes from LA.

Jeff Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 If I can remember correctly, my uncle introduced me to Star Wars. He is a big fan of all fantasy movies/games, sci-fi stuff, and the like, and when he told me about it, I was immediately hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derc Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 If anything, it was my dad. I wasn't too big with science fiction back then, and I couldn't differentiate between Ster Trek and Star Wars. Of course, now I know the difference. Though I have no interest in Star Trek. So I watched the OT, and for a long time, I wondered what happened to ep 1, 2, and 3... (I was little then, mind you). What ultimately swayed me into being a SW fan? The lightsabers, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai DD Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 My dad. He was like a pre-nerd. Hes the reason Im a geek now. I watched them for the first time at an early age, I loved them since that first moment. I thank him for that. It should be a crime that a child grows up without SW.

Katarn07 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 BUMP! Wanna hear a story? No? Too bad When I was little my dad always dragged me and my older sisters to antique shops. Pretty boring for a 5 year old? For years and years, he'd do this. My favorite things to look at were the toys, even though I didn't know what half of them were. I always loved looking at the vintage guys, the aliens and spaceships intrigued me. When SW was on TNT one day (I know I had just turned 8 at the time), I asked my dad if we could watch it and he let me. I loved it since. We got all the action figures that came out that year after having gotten me a ton of vintage ones to play with. I'd say it was me who got me into it. I took the initive to ask. My dad didn't rent it for me to see or anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzyfreaker Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Mine was when i was really little, 3 or 4, i went to my uncles house and when i was there i was kind of toddling around the house and came upon the library, in there i found a door which i of course opened when i was showered upon by old star wars and star trek stuff, after that, my uncle showed me the movies and i fell in love. Edit: With the Movies, not my uncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like going to a formula1 race to watch the safety cars mtfbwya At work, I was trying to convince a coworker to watch SW movies. She finally agreed to do so. What does she end up renting? TPM and AotC. I was like "WTF? Go get the first ones!" and she told me 'those were the first ones.' Gah. You're not supposed to watch them chronologically! She did watch all 6 films though. It supports my theory she only likes films with a hot guy as the star, because she liked AotC (my least fav) and RotS (nothing wrong with that I suppose) the most. She said the originals were decent. Decent?! Pah. What does she know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
