Star Wars

I don't know which would have been worse: being a Star Wars fan as a kid or getting converted as an adult?

I saw Return of the Jedi when I was 7 or 8 years old and thought it was mind-numbingly boring. (This was in '88, when it was pretty close to when it came out, and before I was desensitized by the look of films of the 90's and whatever the fuck decade this is)

I never understood the Star Wars craze when the first two prequels came out. My stock answer was "Fuck Star Wars" when someone would mention it.

Last year, Episode III came out. I saw the trailers on TV and was curious as to how Vader got into the suit. So, I decided to go ahead and watch all the movies, as they came out. And to my surprise by the time I was done I actually enjoyed them.

So began my fascination for the next year. I got the video games, I checked the boards, and couldn't stop talking about it.

It also helps that Padme is hot, Obi wan is a bad ass, and I can relate to Anakin on the good side vs the dark side.

Back to my original rhetoric: which would be worse? I was already a weird kid, would it have made me wierder? It's pretty bad that I'm a grown ass man now and still enjoy the fantasy realm.

Thanks a lot George Lucas.
