I’m 20 so the prequels were coming out when I was a kid. My dad wouldn’t take me to Revenge of the Sith which came out when I was 9, because it’s pretty violent. In retrospect I’m glad that he didn’t because I don’t think the scene of Anakin killing children or getting horribly burned would’ve sat well with me. I used to catch the prequels on TV and I know I’d seen Episode I, II and IV at some point because my parents own the VHS tapes and when I finally watched these movies a lot of the scenes seemed familiar. I definitely didn’t know the plot though.

The big problem is when I caught the prequels on TV, it made me think that Star Wars was some boring science fiction series and that it wouldn’t be very good. I thought the movies looked really fake and boring. I’m glad to have finally seen the OT.

My first real Star Wars experience was The Force Awakens. My friend took me to the midnight release and I really loved the movie. I went and watched the OT and PT pretty out of order but always struggled to get through the PT films. I’ve actually never seen AOTC all the way through and I’m glad to live that way.
