Current Events > Did you grow up with Star Wars, CE?

(+) Yeah! (+)

One of my earliest memories is of being in a video store and seeing Obi-Wan disable the tractor beam in ANH.

I also have vivid memories of the Star Wars Taco Bell toys that were (presumably) in celebration of the Special Editions considering they were OT themed.

but I was the prime age to be roped into Star Wars, cause i was 6 when TPM came out. I saw the movie in theaters, played the shit out of Episode 1 Racer on N64, then just fell head first into consuming Star Wars content growing up <_<

Not exactly. I was born in 1981 and I could have grown up with it but for whatever reason I never actually saw the movies until the mid 90s. I've liked it ever since though. But yea, originals are my favorite

Kinda. Born 79 so they were always a thing as a kid. I remember my elder brother having the original trilogy on VHS, poorly recorded from a broadcast, we'd watch them all the time.

I watched the OT first, but I may have been a bit too young to really understand it. I still remember enjoying it though. I guess those characters are so good they're going to leave an impression even at such a young age. With the Prequels I started really paying attention though, since I was getting older.

So I would say I grew up with both of them.

Voted third option. I'd seen all of the OT before the prequels, and I saw the prequels in theaters. I've always liked star wars, but it was never one of my favorites. I generally never bothered with the videogames, or any of the EU content, although I have played in star wars tabletop rpgs a few times, and I did like the clone wars cartoon with ahsoka.

I remember my dad getting me out of middle school early to go see Episode III on the afternoon of the first day it was released. Awesome.

---

nah, I first started watching them as an adult.

---

it was a thing i liked growing up. i was never obsessed with it or anything. the prequel movies were coming out when i was a teenager and i thought they were boring

---

I watched the OT on vhs as a kid. I remember always falling asleep during ESB after Luke got to Degobah lol.

Loved the franchise all the way until college. I enjoyed the prequels, but after RotS I just didnt feel the need to keep up with anything.

almost got back into it with the sequels, but TFA ended up being a big wet fart and I told myself maybe episode 8 will use this setup and make this boring ass waste of two hours worth it in retrospect

...

<_<

Revenge of the Sith came out when I was 9 so... kind of? But honestly 90% of the star wars in my childhood was Battlefront II.

kinda. i remember seeing TPM in theater for a friends bday when i was 11. seen episode 2 but episode 3 i didn't watch till like 10 years after. had some friends in high school go to the theater to see it but i couldn't go with them and just never bothered to watch it after till i seen it on tv randomly.

did love pod racer on 64. played the crap out of that. have knights of the old republic and some other games but never really played any too much. did see the new trilogy and rewatched the first 6 before episode 7. but can't say it's a major part of my life.

Yes, I remember my dad was excited to show the the OT and I was into it and bought a bunch of the action figures at Toys R US after that. He didnt seem to into the later movies. I was like 6 or 7. Slave Leia turned me on so much

I really liked it as a kid but I just don't like it anymore.

Never watched a Star Wars movie in my life and never will
