Despite all its faults, I’ll always fondly remember TPM as my first SW movie.
The funny thing is that I only ended up watching the film because all of my friends at school was constantly talking about it and playing SW during recess. I had no idea what they were talking about so I felt quite left out. After finally seeing the film, and shortly after the OT as well, I quickly became the biggest SW fan in my class.
(It’s also really weird to think of TPM as being 20 years old, as I always used to think of the OT as being “20 years old”.)
