Junior's relationship to star wars

     Hi!  Donovan here.  I Grew up in a world where there was always star wars.  As my dad has mentioned many times, he is a die-hard fan of it and as such owns a box set of the special edition OT.  I have A.D.H.D. (or boredom and forget fullness disease as I sometimes call it.) and so really don't have any grasp on when I first watched those movies or how many times I did but what I do remember is that i loved them.  I've always loved grand, high-stakes stories about awesome heroes and terrifying villains and star wars is a classic example of such a story.   Later on I watched the prequels And BOY did my eyes pop out of my face. The glorious c.g.i. armies and explosions were everything my little heart desired.  Though- there was one i didn't like. I almost never watched R.O.T.S. as it terrified and depressed me.  Of course, through all this me and my siblings would play star wars make-believe games in as many ways as we thought possible, with sticks and Nerf guns and actual merchandise.  Then came the newer movies which I highly enjoyed although seeing them on the big screen made them feel much scarier.  And I and sometimes my siblings made attempts to watch the clone wars (And my little brother even watched a few episodes of rebels once.)  I have never made it anywhere close to the end.  And as more movies came out, I watched and enjoyed them,but was far more invested in other things.  It was the internet that got me back into it. (Nearly to disastrous effect.) And with the power of the internet and my now much larger brain I recently began thinking about how it all fit together.  One conversation with my dad later and the idea for this project was created. And that's my star wars tale. Join us tonight for our viewing of one of my old favorites THE PHANTOM MENACE!
