Back in the summer of 2005, I had a group of co-workers that told me they had just bought tickets for the premiere of Star Wars Episode 3 at midnight and asked if I wanted to join. Being a young intern at the time living in a new city and just trying to fit in, I decided to go. I had seen the prior movies before once or twice, but never really got that much into Star Wars and really could not remember very much of it, but decided at worst, I will go just for the team-camaraderie/make new friends aspect.
Prior to that, I had saw the previous two prequel entries fairly recently, but as mentioned, I was just a casual fan that didn't really understand much of anything that was going on in the films. So I went with them to see Episode 3, and it absolutely blew me away; I did not remember much of Star Wars from my past, but seeing Vader in the flesh put the helmet on for the first time reeled me in and I wanted to learn more.
On their advice, once I was able to afford them, I bought the original trilogy movies to re-watch them, which I had not seen since I was probably 10 or so years old. Ever since that time period, I have been hooked on Star Wars even to this day, though I’d like to forget the latest two disaster installments.
Cool thread...I had to go back and look at my order history, because I did not have a clue. This brought back a great memory.
