First Star Wars Memory:
Paploo’s speeder bike theft, and the resulting squeal of delight, really stuck with an impressionable kid watching Return of the Jedi at the Parker Cinema IV. That, or the epic continuation of the Star Wars saga created in my best friend Nate’s basement utilizing every item in his massive Kenner collection…of which I’m still jealous to this day.
Favorite Star Wars Film:
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Favorite Star Wars Character:
Obi-Wan Kenobi. Close runner-up is Babu Frik.
Favorite Star Wars Scene:
I’m going to cheat: the Battles of Hoth, Yavin, Scarif, and Endor. In that order. And the escape from Narkina 5.
