I am 45 years old and have followed the Star Wars saga since watching the first movie in 1977. I was eight. The movie sent my young mind spinning off on daydreams about light saber duels, the utter coolness of robots, how kick ass holographic, interactive animated chess would be and, if I’m honest, the idea that girls (specifically brunette princesses) might not be so bad after all. In short, the movie changed my life and wired me for science fiction.
