When I saw the Yoda puppet in the toy section of a local Krogers I thought he might be a bad guy.
Remember,I wouldn't see my first Star Wars movie until I was a teenager.

"I remember I used to think that Vader wanted the Millenium falcon because it was faster than his ships and he was jealous."

So I'm not the only idiot! LOL

Actually, my first memory is to be scared of Ewoks. I had seen a special on the making of SW:ROTJ and I believed that Ewoks where created artificially for the movies and that they were real. So when I saw ROTJ in the theater, the Ewoks scared the beejeezus out of me! (Gimme a freaking break, I was three!)

I also thought Threepio was a REAL robot. I also had the confusion with lightsabers, I thought the sabre given to Luke by Ben was the same one he used to fight Vader so I didn't understand how Luke had his lightsaber back in TESB.

The Ben-Vader fight was kinda confusing since the lightsabers appear to shrink and expand during the scene. They also lost their glow in some shots, which REALLY confused me as a kid.

My bad. I meant to say I thought Leia said "Scruffy looking Nerve hurter"

To be fair, that's a line that is easy to get wrong. I mean, nobody knows what a "Nerf Herder" is anyway.

>I thought Vader's name was "Dark Vader"
>I thought Ben's other name was O.B.1 Kenobi and that the OB stood for "Old Ben"
>I thought Vader was a robot
>Up until about a year ago, when watching ANH with the closed captioning on, I thought Red Leader was saying "Luck As Falls Attack Position" rather than "Lock S Foils In Attack Position."
>I also noticed that Yoda says "Always in motion is future" and not "Always emotional is future" like I thought.

-SW=Star Trek
-I was confused w/the whole Dantooine and tatooine thing.
-I didn't get what was going on in ANH ben/vader fight. it looks like ben is struggling to control his saber or something and that he doesn't really know how to fight at all!
-was scared of ewoks therefore the stuffed ewok stayed in my closet for years and years...
-got confused w/palpy's hologram image and that energizer bunny commercial. "the bunny is in star wars???"
-yeah, doesn't yoda sound like grover?
-basically, the whole movie just scared the bejesus out of me w/all those evil looking characters.. so i couldn't watch it till i was a teen. bummer.

i remember back in 85 when i was four and my parents first started forcing star wars onto me.... man i love my parents happy


i thought that the titles went ANH, ROTJ, ESB. i knew the order of the films however i thought that the real title for the sixth movie was ESB and i never could understand why it was called the empire strikes back if the emperor dies at the end.

it wasn't until i was like 6 and started working the VCR myself that i put the correct names to the correct footage.... hahaha

I used to think that Boba Fett knew/was related to Han. Specifically, I thought he was his brother. No clue as to why.

I always thought that the stormtrooper uniforms had the word "oil" on there backs (there is some design that is all like 0II).

Whenever I was playing with my friends, I'd be like:

"Quick, now's our chance to escape, the stormtroopers need more oil".

Sometime after ESB and just slightly before ROTJ, I happened upon a cover to a Marvel Comics version of ROTJ. On the cover was Admiral Ackbar.

I had two misconceptions: One, this was going to be ROTJ's new bad guy, or two, this was going to be a new good guy to replace Luke Skywalker cuz Luke was going to be killed.

Don't ask me how I came to these conclusions.

I remember watching ANH on laser disc (the old kind that came out in the 70's and looked nothing like the early 90's versions.)
about amillion times. I could have SWORN I remember Han shooting Greedo and Greedo never getting a shot off.
Fast forward 20 years, and I buy the trilogy for myself, and to my amazement, Greedo actually shot at han before he was fried.

Don't kids remeber things in the oddest way??
