I was so very a Star Wars geek. I was pretty much waiting for Luke Skywalker to land his x-Wing in my backyard. Years later my husband and I must have joked about it in front of the kids one too many times, because apparently my daughter spent part of her childhood thinking that Luke Skywalker was my ex-husband. ;)

I don't think being "into it" was ever a choice with me. It was just part of my life. It was everywhere! I still have my vinyl record(s) of the music (not a cool green like that other record you have! :D )

Re your daughter, you should have told her yes :)

How cool was it the first time ever you saw "Star Wars"? I remember the music the battleships etc so cool!

Do you know what? I was unphased by that! I don't know why, but the effects didn't stand out to me. It all looked perfectly natural and I never wondered "Wow, how did they do that??!" Ships flying around in space? Light sabers? - I bought into all of it and accepted it "as is."

Oh! But you know what??! I got SO annoyed with the Yoda inconsistencies!!! WHY DID THEY CHANGE HIM??!! His size, his voice, his demeanor!!! That jarred me out of that "world" and put me 100% into a technical mind re the remaining films. Messed up my FUN! :P

Yeah, yeah, I meant that i bought into it all coz it was just all so believably good! Wasn't so excited by it by the time Yoda came around, unfortunately. I hate that they made Luke Leia's sister though. . . it's like they thought of it MUCH later. Kinda like the way they write those soaps. . .Days of our Lives etc.

I don't think the one where they make Luke Leia's sister has come out yet ;) Lol!

Ah whatever. . . .it was a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. . .
