I feel often that I'm siting in an odd place with my fandom because I grew up during the 90s when Star Wars was making it's come back and the prequels came out when I was in junior high and high school. I had the original versions on VHS and my friend down the street had the special editions, and I use to always consider those versions to be some sacred treasure because I couldn't watch those whenever I wanted. I remember running out and spending my allowance to buy the junior novelization of Phantom Menace and reading through it before the movie was released because I was to excited. In fact, me and my friends actually went to see Revenge of the Sith on the same evening we had our last day of school. So for me growing up, it was the classic version, the special editions, and the prequels that informed my youth. I have a sense of nostalgia for both "old" and "new" Star Wars that I'll never be able to break. As a gamer too, my favorite Star Wars games were the classic Super Star Wars games for SNES and the N64 era Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron, Episode 1 Racer, and Battle for Naboo. Both versions of Star Wars are there, and they are never going away, and I never want them to.
