I remember watching these when I was a kid, and loving it so much that we would play it at school recess.
I remember being drag to the theaters to see one of the Star Wars movies. I didn’t have a problem seeing it…it’s just that I hadn’t slept for 24 hours and was exhausted. I wound up falling asleep in the theater…horrible!
I remember my son being obsessed with the light saber he got from his grandpa for Christmas!
the star wars memories i have are from my 4 year old son. Until I bought him his light saber sword, anything sword shaped was a star wars light saber to him!
I’m old enough to remember going to see the original movie in the theatre when I was just a kid…..it was revolutionary!!
I love Star Wars. They have always been my favorite movies. I grew up watching them with my dad. Ever since I was little we would curl up on the couch and watch them and we saw one of them in theaters. We play the video games as well. Star wars and video games will always be our thing
I remember the star wars pepsi cans.. Also i remember my brother’s always wanting to watch it when we were smaller and i fought with them cuz i wanted to watch my shows. lol
My husband is a fanatic for star wars, so after the birth of our first son, he’d sit with me as we were swooning over the new bundle of joy watching the Original Trilogy.
I remember when my dad took me to see Return of the Jedi, great time!
@Eileen Burke: What a great dad~! I took my parents to Star Wars…they weren’t fans.

I remember the line around the block, wiating with my mom and sis eating ice cream
My favorite Crayola product is the humongous package of crayons. I loved that when I was younger.
