You were 7 when TPM hit? Woah
I got hit by the star wars bug abit earlier than you
My big cousin gave me and another cousin lots of star wars cards, thought they were so cool...i started figures at ep1 when i was ummm 11

So its roughly a 8-9 year obsession...

The first Star Wars movie I watched at the cinema was Empire Strikes Back... was too young to be brought for movies when A New Hope was released

One thing I did not quite understand at the end of ESB, was how come they ended the movie with Han Solo still in captvity

As for how I started with the toys... that is another story, to be told another time

I got hooked when I watch Episode IV in Prince theatre in 1981.

After that, I followed Episode V, the novels, the comics etc.

I love clone troopers, that's all i can say!

actually the lightsabre fights are cool and the battle like those in episode III are hot!

I got addicted to Star Wars after watching Episode 3. I bought Episode 1 & 2 DVD right after watching Ep. 3 and bought the 4,5,6 box set 'cos I had to continue....

And just like commander Faie, I'm obsessed with clone troopers and I also wish that Singapore could have a 'School of Jedi sword-fighting'.....or something like that....

I watched the original A New Hope in 1977 at theatre, most impressed by the Millennium Falcon.

During the 70s, there was no SW-theme Lego. So I convert my space, police & fire brigade Lego into an army of Imperior Troops vs Rebel Force, with a respectful strength of over 200+ figures.

I got hooked on Star Wars at a very early age... My aunt or maybe my uncle(can't remember) bought me Episodes IV,V,VI video cassettes... Then I remember watching them almost everyday before I sleep... LOL.

I used to watch re-runs of ANH on video when i was a kid. Then i completely forgot abt starwars until TPM came, along with all the hype. Now its all dull again. *sigh*
