Sask. Star Wars fans recall first encounters, fond memories

@LeishaCBC Xmas when I was 8, got a millennium falcon from Santa. Now my son who is 8, also loves star wars. Hoping Santa leaves him one

@LeishaCBC Watching the original trilogy when I was 6, in the hospital after a tonsillectomy. Made the stay due to complications bearable.

@Steve_In_Sask @LeishaCBC when I was a kid wondering why Yoda sounded like Grover while watching ESB. Maybe Grover is a Jedi?

@LeishaCBC kind of a blur. Once only in theatres for each. Comics, vhs, TV, internets. Growing up in the 80s, hard to escape the narrative.
