I'm 46 years old having been 8 in 1977 when I first saw A New Hope - that film filled me with awe and my love of the galaxy far, far away has never left me in the intervening years. That love has been given a huge boost with the release of The Force Awakens - a film that has left me as awestruck as ANH did all those years ago ...
Welcome FollowTheLight! It's cool that TFA struck you as ANH and that you found your way to this forum. There's a great place to discuss the new films and I bet you've found it already. If not, let us know and we'll lead you the way. Enjoy your stay!
Welcome, also from the UK! You were only a year younger than me when ANH came out. We hope you have a great time with us.
