However, despite this love, I never really went out of my way to experience the all-expansive Expanded Universe much (Legends now, if you’re a newbie), only playing Dark Forces, reading 2 books, and watching the Old Republic trailers. My 6-year-old brain never noticed how old Ep 4 was. Funnily enough, I used to think that the prequel trilogy was made first before the original. This was my jam as a kid, never getting tired of sword fights and incredible set pieces…well, except for the shitty CG added to the original.

I was an avid fan of the first 6 movies, my jaw dropping at the Death Star imploding in Ep4 and Anakin and Obi-wan fighting their way through General Grievous’ ship in Ep 3. I would say I’m a major fan of the franchise, but I’ve mostly viewed the movies and shows, for better and for worst.
