The first stirrings of rebellion - so to speak - happened for me as far back as 2003, when I saw AOTC for the first time, and then later in 2005/06, when I became disillusioned with the state the post-AOTC EU was in and finally witnessed the overhyped underwhelming disappointment that was ROTS; I was still more-or-less a Lucasfilm Kool-Aid drinker at the time, though, and only became a purist in 2008, when I got my first home computer with Internet access and became exposed to the viewpoints of fans who were irate with the PT & SEs.
