I was born in 2007, and I’ve always had an instinctive love for anything Star Wars, as the very first movie I ever saw was the '04 version of ANH via the Best Buy tin of GOUT DVDs. (I still have them, but they’re near unplayable now.) By the time I was 3, I had already seen the then complete saga. For some reason, ROTJ was always my favorite, and still is today, but I assure you, it’s not because it’s “the one with the Ewoks” like most of my family likes it for. I managed to be able to see every Disney-era SW in theaters multiple times, with the ST, each time seemed to take a layer of color away from the rose-colored glasses of the excitement of seeing a new Star Wars. I noticed new flaws and ultimately decided to try my best to ignore the Canon timeline and stick to Legends, which is what I grew up on.

I like the OT, PT, and Rouge One equally.

I’ve always had a sizeable collection of Star Wars toys and collectibles with the bulk of it being stuff from the '90s Power of the Force and Power of the Jedi lines, purchased from places like 2nd and Charles.

So yeah.
