I grew up with Star Wars: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. I absolutely LOVED Harrison Ford ~ so handsome and funny, imo. These movies were a huge part of the enjoyable part of my childhood, I knew/know them all by heart.

That said, getting into the newer trilogy was almost impossible for me to get into. I felt that it was impossible to appreciate Parts 4, 5, and 6 if I accepted 1, 2, and 3. I just couldn't do it. If they made the beginning trilogy less a lot less technical, maybe then I could accept it.

My point is that I can appreciate your excitement and devotion to the series. I am happy that you still get some joy in your life. That's important ~ kudos to you!
