What I have to say about Star Wars I've pretty much said before, but oh well ...

I fell in love with the universe the first moment I saw Darth Vader face off against the Energizer Bunny in some Energizer TV commercial, but I had to wait til the winter of '96 before I got to see any of the movies.

By '97, my craving for the franchise kicked into high gear, and I spent the next two years eagrely gobbling up anything and everything SW related I came into contact with. By 2000, though, my parents had pawned the copies of the films we owned, never got them back out, and I was starting to get into the Stargate franchise, so my hunger for SW diminished.

Once the PT rolled around and through, I pretty much lost all enthusiasm for the universe. Once I realized I hated the PT/SEs and began to explore more of the pre-PT EU, however, I managed to rekindle some of the fire I had for SW. The energy I once had for the franchise, though, will never reach the same peaks again.
