1. What were your expectations going in Episode I?

well, i was sick with cancer and i remembered that i wanted to go see that movie so bad! i was a little guy then and had to

go to an four o clock morning showing since i was highly vulderable to other people. still, there were over a hundred in the theater.

2. What did you think of the trailers released in 1998/99?

i never saw the trailer. i'm sure though people were freaking out.

3. Did you read any SW Insiders magazines, spoilers on the internet? Anything from them that stuck out to you?

i wasn't a big reader/computer guy being sick and all

4. What did you think of the hype in the Spring of '99, as it seemed like every entertainment show was talking about the first SW film in 16 years?

i thought, "Wow! these people are diving on store shelves just to get an action figure or trading card!" I thought it was

huge!

5. Did you collect any of the toys, or the merchandise from Taco Bell I think? or was it Burger King?

i can't remember if i did or not

6. When did you finally see it, opening night? opening weekend? wait for the crowds to die down and saw it later in the summer?

i saw it like two wks after it came out i think
