This is gonna reveal my age, but I got the RotS video game when I was young. Later my parents got the movie for me and I watched it. It makes pretty decent sense on its own, I didn’t even notice that I was missing two previous movies in the trilogy. I guess I didn’t look at the title of the video game or the movie, or the crawl, because I wasn’t phased by it being Episode III.

At a birthday party, in March 2006, I got the Phantom Menace as a gift. Since TPM also stands decently on its own, and has a conclusion, I didn’t feel like I was missing an Episode 2, or the OT. I just assumed they were two standalone movies that happened to have the same characters.

Sometime before Spring 2007, I saw AotC. I know this because I remember walking in the snow with my brother, pretending we were Mace Windu and Obi-Wan from AotC. Sometime before May 2008, I was pretending to be Darth Vader (using my toy helmet), and my mom said “Luke, I am your father”. I didn’t know what she meant so she showed me the OT. I know this was before May 2008, because after the Clone Wars movie came out, I insisted on calling RotS “Episode 4”, SW “Episode 5”, ESB “Episode 6”, and RotJ “Episode 7”. I saw the Clone Wars movie in theatres, but the theatre was pretty empty so it was probably later in its run.

Obviously saw TFA and R1 in theatres.
