    I think I was about Eight years old when I saw the first Star Wars film. I've been a fan ever since. :)

    Seeing ANH... but not in theatres, in 1990 when I was like 3. My dad is a first time theatre fan, though no where near as big of a fan as I am.

    I became a fan in 1995. I was prowling my local library when I found Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights.

    Now, prior to that, I hated SW. It was, I stupidly thought, a crusty old movie with bad effects. Keep in mind, I was only 13 at the time. :p

    Anyway, I saw this book about kids my age, and thought, "Hey, this looks interesting."

    Well, I liked the book, and read the rest of the Young Jedi Knights series. But that wasn't enough, so I took my advance level reading self and borrowed every single Star Wars book from the library.

    I've been hooked ever since.

    First time I saw ESB, when I was three. I've never known what it's like not to love Star Wars, actually. :)

    I watched RotJ first, for some odd reason. [face_blush] It just happened to be sittin' on the shelf, and I grabbed it and popped it into the player . . . Mommy and Daddy found me later, cowering behind the couch because I was afraid of Scary Lightning Man. :p

    Ah, memories. ;)

    Alas, I wasn't born yet to see any of the OT in theaters... However, I used to watch Return of the Jedi almost every day when I was little, and I didn't even know it was Star Wars!! (What can I say? I was obsessed with the "cute little bears that beat up the guys with Marshmellow colored suits!") However, my parents dragged me to the Special Edition in 97, and I was SO hooked! I think the best part was when ESB:SE came out, at the whole "I am your father part", I yelled out "So THAT'S where that line's from!"

    I was seven years old and the movie (Episode IV)had just came out two weeks earlier. It was the first movie my parents allowed me to alone to. I missed the first few minutes of the movie. (The popcorn line was way too long). The first part I saw was Vader boarding the ship after the gun battle. So I had to see it again the next day. I was hooked.
