I had a very Star Wars Christmas in 1995 when I was nine years old. The Faces set was being hyped like crazy, and, even though I'd never seen the movies before, I had a general idea about some of the ideas and characters (mostly through growing up watching Muppet Babies on Saturday mornings). That limited knowledge and the huge hype of these releases was enough to get me to want the movies for Christmas. It turns out that both my dad and mom bought me the boxset without realizing the other had. My mom ultimately took hers back. So I got the movies along with nearly all of the first set of the new action figures. I even remember the order in which I happened to unwrap them: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and Han Solo. Looking back, it would have really sucked if I had not taken to Star Wars as well as I had, and it was kinda going out on a limb to have such a Star Wars-heavy Christmas when nobody really had any idea if I'd end up liking it or not!
But, in case you were wondering, I did!
