    Geez, I feel like a loser now, for not being born when it came out. :p

    I became a fan on Feburary 6, 1997 at 7:30pm when the words "STAR WARS" burst onto the screen. [face_love]

    Every Feb 6th now, I watch ANH at 7:30. It's my anniversary. :)

    When the Special Edition came out. My dad was at the store and was like 'We gotta get this! You have not lived until you've seen Star Wars'.

    Little did he know that after watching A New Hope with me and my sisters, he'd created a monster. ;)

    The funny thing is I don't remember my first time watching the movies (OT, duh) because I was so young. I just remember always knowing and loving them, like they were a known entity. I guess that is the benefit of having a brother seven years older who remembers going to the theatres to see them (since I was way to young to remember any of that). I am sure because of his interest I was able to grow up with the movies easily accessible.

    I remember having a sleepover with my oldest friend when we were 8, 9 or 10-ish and we watched ANH and ESB that night (hey, we were little we couldn't stay awake long enough for the last one) and followed with RotJ first thing in the morning. All day long we were so proud of ourselves for following through on our plan to watch them all consecutively, even if we felt overdosed and kept saying things like, "Luuuke, I am your fatherrrr" and stumbling around acting silly. You know now that I look back, I don't think I ever repeated that feat (watching all the movies in a row). :eek: Wow, I was a cool Star Wars dork even back then! :D

    I don't know when my fandom began. It just always was. So I voted ANH.

    i became a sw fan just before the special editions came out, the only movie i had seen before that was empire and the only movie i saw in theaters was empire, special edition (i couldnt afford to see them all, i was only 11). i hadnt seen all the movies until i bought the entire special edition on video.

    ps. i saw the original rotj on beta at some point too

    bought the novelisation because Vader was on it
    thought: "Hey, Darth Vader! Star Wars is cool"
    although I knew almost nothing

    My big sister took me to see ROTJ in 1983, when I was just three years old: I've been hooked on SW ever since. Also, this occasion is actually one of my earliest memories/recollections that I still have. ;)

    I was 2.5 at the second showing and it was my first movie theater experience. First thing I saw was Vader walking thru the smoke at the very beginning. Lerts just say I stop dead in my tracks jaw hit the floor and my parents had to carry me to the seat where I sat on the edge of for the rest of the evening. I have had a thing for bad boys and deep voices ever since....
