July 4th, 1993: I am 10 years old. My father asks if I have ever seen Star Wars before, and I say "No, it sucks." (I was thinking it was He-Man due to the Laserdisc cover). I went outside to play in the 96 degree weather just so I could avoid seeing that horrible movie. I get tired and hot and came back inside during the trash compactor scene. I fell in love at first sight. I kept asking questions about what is going on and my dad says "well you should have been here for the first part of the movie."

The next day I watched ESB and was a little confused (because I only saw the second half of ANH) but love it anyway. I wanted to know what happend to Han, but my dad did not own ROTJ an I insisted that we go rent it right then and now. I had to wait for the weekend. It still rocked though.

Flash forward about 4 years.

1997: As everyone knows this is when the SE came out. I was stoked and saw ESB and ROTJ twice in the theater (I was too late for ANH). Bought the soundtrack and played it non stop.

1998: Me and my 3 best friends whom all loved Star Wars make a spoof movie called "Spar Wars" and spent all summer basically being SW nerds. There was even one night when we all paraded down street branishing lightsabers and blasting the Star Wars soundtrack from my jambox.

1999: TPM comes out and me and my now remaining 2 best friends flip the fuck out and go see Episode I. We couldn't be more pleased with our life. We make another spoof movie called "The Franchise Menace." That was a lot of fun. We had elaborate costumes, saber fights, and the obligitory bad acting. I played Obi-Wan, my other friend played Maul, and my third friend played the Queen.
The movie basically end with the death of a chocolate chip cookie and a dance number.
