Galaxy's Edge NEW Food, Drinks, & Merch for LIFE DAY!

[@B.Long13]

My dad grew up in the 70s and has always lived star wars. In my house growing up, we had a Christmas tradition that when we put up the Christmas tree we would always watch the original trilogy. We have all grown up now but we all (all 5 kids) keep the tradition going with our own families😊

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Flight Crew Question🚀: "What was your gateway into loving Star Wars?" (BONUS*: "Did you discover Star Wars because of the Holiday Special?")

[@Darth_Lucifer]

I thought we agreed as a culture to never speak of that abomination ever again

[@Midwesternjedi1566]

Well my gateway was to seeing bits and pieces of ROTJ that my brother had on in his room back in the 90's on VHS, what really got me full swing was a friend of my parents who happened to have a ton and I mean a ton of Star Wars merch from back in the 90's (I was in grade school obviously) and I got to play some of his games and toys I even have one of his Tusken Raiders on a Bantha which has that "real" fur feel, anyways yeah after awhile I collected my own stuff or what I could little by little and then I went to go see The Phantom Menace on opening night and that sealed the deal for me.

[@SAGAtoday]

I always love answering this question! As a kid I wasn't necessarily "into" Star Wars but it was "just another" movie to watch. When Star Wars Celebration came to Los Angeles in 2007, I was about 13 years old. I was reading through a magazine and saw an advertisement for it. I don't know why or how or what made me, but I decided to go! My dad took me down on Saturday and I absolutely fell in love with everything and anything Star Wars. The rest is history!

[@TheTarotBard]

Just like Ash, my gateway to Star Wars was SpaceBalls. I remember watching it on TV as a kid and Loving it so much. And my brother (Who is 15 years older than me) asked me "You know that's a rip-off of Star Wars right?" and I said "What's Star Wars?" then we watched all 3 Star Wars movies that week including the Holiday special. When the Prequals came out my brother took me to go watch them in the theater. When Episode 1 came out he actually took me out of school early (I was in 7th grade) to go watch it on opening day...without my parents knowing.

[@TheTarotBard]

and I mostly tell people to watch them in the order they came out.

[@pambond8205]

My father was in the navy and we were stationed in Korea on a military base. Star Wars came out and my dad wanted to see it so badly that we left the base and went to a Korean movie theater and watched it with English words and Korean sub titles. We all loved it!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

He was a Rebel!

[@skydanz10]

So wonderful to meet Ash and Brian! Just as nice and friendly as they appear online. I took my 2yo daughter to the first day opening of "A New Hope". We've been fans ever since. Thanks for wearing my wrist bands! I'm glad you like them. 👍

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Thank you for being with us it was a great day. Happy to meet you too!

[@KingsBard]

I literally don't remember a time before knowing Star Wars, my earliest recallable memory of Star Wars was watching The Return of the Jedi VHS at age 6 but I had already watched all the OT multiple times.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

You being a fully conscious being once you saw it :)

[@briannayoung9026]

My dad was a kid in the 70’s when Star Wars came out so he was a big fan! When I was old enough, he sat me down and we watched the original trilogy together. Been a massive fan ever since!

[@judyjackson9653]

“It’s my industrial strength hair dryer. And I CANT live WITHOUT IT!!!!!” God I saw spaceballs at such a young age I love that movie sooo much. I got into Star Wars by watching the OT with my sister when I was like 2. My childhood was OT first, then spaceballs, then the PT

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Haaa def need to watch again soon

[@tuckercollins693]

To make a long story short: I had never seen Star Wars until my sophomore year of high school. A senior in my drama class told me it was truly a masterpiece and lent me ‘A New Hope’. After I watched it I fell in love and just 6 months later I had planned, attended, and enjoyed my first ever convention Star Wars Celebration 2015 in Anaheim CA with 2 friends. From there I’ve always had a love for the Star Wars community

[@Jon42456]

My brother and I were introduced through the VHS tapes. Our father is an OG fan and when we were old enough we got to watch them with him. We then went to see every prequel/sequel/starwars story in theaters. And now I get to pass my love for starwars down to my children.

My mom got me into Star Wars. She was a huge fan and saw a new hope multiple times in the theater when it first premiered.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

amazing, always good to have SW fans as parents.

[@daamovieguy]

I was 5 when Star Wars came out. My mother took me to a small two screen theater to see it. It meant so much to me that to this day, I still remember the color of the movie curtains, and the fact that I was able to smell the popcorn through the box office window.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

its amazing how much an impression that film made for the entire day. Its a CORE memory and we dont forget those easily

[@daamovieguy]

@@AlwaysBelieve it can certainly be a core memory. Mind you The Holiday Special (which I also saw as a child) can be the source of many therapy sessions.

[@Peacheschan1]

What officially got me into Star Wars was Attack of The Clones. When I was little girl it was New Hope from watching on the tv in the 90s

[@AlwaysBelieve]

yes seeing on TV for me too when i was 4

[@shariwalmsley110]

I got into Star War's by watching the Mandalorian. I then just had to watch all of them. I love them all so much. You guy's are awesome. Thank You so much.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

one of the best ways to get in SW now!

[@JenniferMejia-ir3fp]

For me, star wars rebels got me into star wars. I got overwhelmed pretty easily so getting into star wars as a franchise I just honed in on the animated stuff. I think that no matter what content I consume, I will always love star wars rebels and that show and those characters hold a special place in my heart

[@OscarAndChels]

My earliest memory was when I was 5, just before The Phantom menace came out, and my dad used to watch an original trilogy film at least twice a week and I used to watch with him, not fully paying attention but watching with him, until I was sick off school one day and we watched the entire trilogy. My dad always said that I just sat and stared at the tv for all 3 films. I remember Return Of The Jedi most vividly from that time, but I used to try and pull sickies from school to stay at home and watch Star Wars with my dad!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

so lucky we had that show now to hook Fans into star Wars

[@saintarchangel9547]

I got into Star Wars because me and my brother had bunk beds in the late 80s with rotj blankets and when I saw rotj on TV I fell in love with the ewoks and their village. Then in the late 90s with the reboots micro machines action fleet got me REALLY into the movies and from there on out I was a hardcore fan lol

[@AlwaysBelieve]

YESSSSS those micro machines were the first SW toys i really had. I was so happy to have them

[@ericaperez1992]

My gateway into loving Star Wars was the VHS box set of the original trilogy with my twin sister! So a pair of five year olds running around the house escaping the Empire. But now I finally got Disney+ so I can watch the Life Day special and.... EVERYTHING else. 💖💖💖

[@jonbooz]

My brother giving me a lunch box for preschool was my gateway. It was a red return of the Jedi one and had an illustration of Artoo and Wicket styled more like the cartoon than the movie. Both became my favorite characters.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

awww thats fun! Ive found old pictures of myself as a toddler in SW shirts and i didnt even know about Star Wars yet!

[@jordentaylor2455]

I still started with Star Wars: A New Hope when I was three, and then my cousin and I got into the toys.

[@brandoncox9612]

mine was in 2005 i was 6 years old and my dad and i played the original lego star wars together on Playsation 2 and then that made it a thing to where we started building lego sets together so i really became something special to do together and i became obsessed with it, watched all the movies as a kid and made me the fan i am today!

[@michaelhill1772]

[@AlwaysBelieve]

understand that Michael, i am the same.

[@joshuajewell5278]

The reason I got into Star Wars as much as I am is because of Return of the Jedi. Specifically when I was four years old, taking a nap, and I woke up during the duel between Luke and Vader. It remains my favorite movie out of the saga today.

[@ozlozano9470]

I grew up just 5 miles away from Skywalker ranch on Lucas Valley road. We went to a small school K-8 30 kids in the whole school only 2 kids in my class. We would often get merchandise from Star Wars donated to the school for fundraising from Lucas’s ranch. We would get like Chewbacca cookie jars, posters, Darth Vader coffee mugs, Jabba the Hut play sets, coloring books, figures etc. this was in the 80’s when Return of the Jedi came out. We were too poor to have watched iv and v when they came out. I knew they existed I also didn’t know English well enough to understand when New Hope came out in 77-78. Also VCR’s were exorbitantly expensive but some how a neighbor took pity on us and let us watch both New Hope and Empire. They were life changing. Later when Return came out our Teacher rewarded us by taking us to the Theater for helping her clean her class room for the summer break. I will always remember being fortunate enough to be taken to see that glorious movie. I love your vibe I hope to make it to a life day. Believe that.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

WOW thats a dream!

[@thorinhg]

In 1976 I was 10 and at a friends house watching a show we had in the San Francisco Bay area called Creature Features with host Bob Wilkins. They used to promo trailers for upcoming SciFi and horror films during whatever movie was featured that week. The first trailer for Star Wars, without any John Williams score (they were still working on post production) was so bizarre and so unlike anything I had ever seen, I didn't know what to think, I just knew I had to see it! Been obsessed ever since!

I got into Star Wars, because Daisy Ridley was playing in the movie Chaos Walking and I was curious what her acting skills were like. So I watched the Sequels and instantly LOVED IT! After that I decided to watch the movies in chronologically order, because I already knew the 'big Vader plot twist'. And that's how my love for Anakin and Vader was born!
