Star Wars opening in Singapore with storm troopers
my awesome retro star wars pillow case as a kid , it was awesome. never had a pillowcase since that it, was so awesome.....wish i had clung on to it. awesome.
My favourite Star Wars memory is from when I was 13 and my big brother took me to see the new Star Wars movie with all his uni friends.... and the movie was at night! So grown up.
Being forced to watch every existing Episode with my partner a few years ago - for the first time :D . It's awesome, I get what he means now! Since then we've been eagerly awaiting the release of each new movie together. "I love you", "I know".
My favourite Star Wars memory is a recent one: watching the recent animated Star Wars series (especially the lego ones) with my 2 year old son then running around the house playing 'pew pew' with our lightsabers made from paper towel tubes
My favourite star wars memory is getting lego starwars for Xbox and having long sessions of jamming it with friends to complete the whole game.
Favourite memory is after I first saw Star Wars a New Hope as a kid (early 80s) and being so excited and telling my dad all about it, with him smiling and pretending he hadn't seen it himself years before. Then the realisation that he too was a Star Wars fan. Miss my dad.
The star wars marathons and pops
My best moment is The pod race scene with the amazing sound effects, designs and the dirty scrappy racing holding you to the edge of your seat. The young slave boy who would become the most famous villain in movie history!!
My best memory is sitting around a record player listening to return of the jedi with the picture book .... I'm that old ? now I have 4 starwars loving boys and still have the record
Purchasing Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith on DVD as a kid, and watching the Obi Wan Kenobi vs Anakin Skywalker fight over and over again!
Watching my daughter freak out that a main character (Rey, who is actually a bad ass) is a girl. She felt inspired!
Going to t triple feature at the movies Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi back to back around 1983
Discovering Imgur and seeing the below image, realizing what Anakin had done and that I was just an innocent child and had no understanding of what happened until I saw that image. Best franchise ever.

Its actually recently; being 39 weeks + 5 days pregnant and telling baby girl to stay in so i could go to the midnight screening of episode 8 hahaha she happily obliged
Watching episode 1 with my dad at the age when he would have seen episode 4 come out.
Got my first ever Star Wars action figure when i was 5, it was a Stormtooper and i remember watching Empire Strike Back for the first time with it.
20+ years and over 100's of Star Wars merchandise later i still have it
Watching Star Wars as a kid with my dad
Unfortunately it's not your typical, i watched a movie and loved it. But more so that I'm such a huge fan of the knights of the old republic fan, love the lore and all the story, i religiously replay kotor 1 and 2 every year, but it's the memory of while i was a child playing xbox original getting into the kotor world for the very first time, and getting so excited, being able to be good or bad light or dark and being able to shape the world around you. Love it haha, i would love this PlayStation so much, I've literally just started kotor again yesterday. Like i say... religiously haha
in Starwars 2 attack of the clones when the group were trapped in the arena fighting those aliens. everytime i see a preying mantis all i think about are the aliens in the arena
Going to see the A New Hope in 1977. About 12 times! Seeing the Death Star blow up was the coolest thing I had ever seen :)
Slowly realizing that senator Palpatine is in fact plotting a greater demise. Such quotes as "A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one." was foreshadowing his true reveal as the Sith Lord.
Star Wars has always been huge in my family right from the get go, and all these years later nothing makes me prouder than seeing my own five year old padawan sitting down and 'reading' her Star Wars Little Golden Books.
Being growled at by my Mum for sitting on the floor of the cinema, hiding from the screen because i was scared shitless of the movie
Being from Gen X I got to see the originals Star Wars at the movies with Dad at the iconic Bridgeway theatre, it was a rare treat.
Staying home from school as a kid and watching IV, V, VI on old skool VHS
Seeing Palpatine become the Emperor.
He pretty much started Vader off on his oath that bought the to original trilogy together .
Playing one of the older Star Wars games on PC with my cousin and going to The Phantom Menace in Napier cinemas.
My favourite memory is a recent one where I got to enjoy The Last Jedi premiere with my sons and share the excitement I have experienced ever since I was a little boy as well.
It being the only movies my brother watched growning up!
The Star Wars cosplayers at the Armageddon Expos rasing money for child cancer! Oh and also going to the midnight screening of The Last Jedi #amazing
My Star wars wedding three years ago today.
My best memory must be the early hours of May 17th 2002, Midnight showing of Episode II. Me and my best mate were attending in Cinema Palace, Haarlem, the Netherlands (a cinema I noticed last time I was back home in the Netherlands sadly got converted to a retail store :-( ) Anyways we are watching and loving Attack of the Clones. Taking in every second in awe..... then.... Yoda encounters count Dooku, loving the "Force" show off, then Dooku pulls his lightsaber and yoda casually gets his out, the following minutes saw my yaw hitting the floor. At the end of all this the theatre burst out in applause, something I never encountered, realising all these people just been awed by the same thing I was to an extent we could not contain ourselves and needed to express the awe!
My favourite memory is 12 or so years ago. My partner had never seen any of the star wars films so we watched all 6 (No force awakens or last jedi yet) in a row. Needless to say it was a time consuming yet entirely necessary mission. Watching her reactions reminded me how amazing this epic space opera was.
It used to be sitting with my dad when I was a little kid and watching the movies together. Now its when I get to sit with my 4 year old son and watch one of the movies together.
I had all the star wars toy figures and most of the vehicles as a kid, I loved them and played with them all the time.
When I was older I found out some of the rarer ones might be worth something, I couldnt find them in the loft, turned out my dad sold them cheap at a car boot without me knowing ?
Star Wars is something I do with my little brother. I love watching the movies with him, and going to see the new ones at the flicks with him. My favourite recent memory is the 2 hour discussion we had over whisky after watching The Last Jedi.
I know Star Wars Episode 1 has a lot of bad reps but that movie actually has made me become a huge fan since 1999. So many days of my teenager years were used to dig through countless of expanded universe stories on wookieepedia, video games, and comics. Wish Disney would have kept these priceless stories because many of them are actually very good.
Watching my eldest son start to enjoy star wars and going through the animated series and movies again with him
My Father borrowing his friend's LTD collection on VHS (yes, that long ago) and introducing My sister and me to Star Wars for the first time on our brand new TV
Watching Star Wars Episode 1 when it came out at the movies. I didnt even know what Star Wars was but it was the movie that made me a fan
As bad as people tend to say it was ... going to see the Phantom Menace as a child was awesome, and then being able to take my nephews to go watch the Force Awakens was awesomer... Now just imagine if we took turns playing Battlefront together? AWESOMERER!!!
The moment in The Last Jedi when Luke is on the Millenium Falcon and R2D2 plays back the hologram message from Leia to Obi Wan. Probably my favourite callback of all time.
The death star going kaboom, and each time i see a huge explosion i think of the death star
When i was 8 and i went to the drive inn and the opening scene with the star destroyer chasing princess leia and the sound... its lived in my memory ever since.. best movie opening ever
Absolute favourite memory was when I first saw the fight with Obi Wan and General Greivous ❤️❤️ Me and my dad used to watch Revenge of the Sith all the time just for that one scene, and I was always cheering for Greivois ?? fun Friday nights watching Star Wars were some of my best childhood memories
Seeing Episode 1 for the first time. Even though the prequels get alot a flak, being 11 at the time the bad acting/script didn't register with me. It was all about the Pod Racing, the Droid army, and Darth Maul!
Going to see The Force Awakens, having never actually seen a star wars movie in the theatres at the time, was an amazing experience
Playing KOTOR on the original Xbox. The plot twist blew my 9 year old mind.
The openning scene in my first ever Star Wars as 14 year old in 1977. Forever changed my view of SciFi movies! They had set the new benchmark.
Actually my first memory, being off school sick and watching Star Wars for the first time. Let's just say it changed my life
Im now 29 and my parents use to take me and my brother and sister to see Star Wars when a new one would come out when we were little and then we would get dinner after!
So many to choose from, but going to see Return of the Jedi with my brother and sister and Dad in Wellington when we were kids was pretty cool.
When I was around twelve, my two best friends and I would have frequent "Star Wars sleepovers" where we would marathon the six movies overnight. Besides the insane amount of snack food, we also had little traditions, e.g. the scene in attack of the clones where Anakin and Padme drink wine and eat space pears - we would crack open a bottle of sparkling grape juice and chop up some pear. And of course there was a lot of recreating lightsaber battles! Those memories hold a special place in my heart for sure.
I remember being at the movies with my whole family watching - I loved the Ewoks, they were so cute!
Remember watching the movies and playing the games when i was young. It was awesome to play the racer game that recently re-released!
Watching the battle of Hoth for the first time as a kid, and as an adult spotting the storm trooper blooper where one knocks their head on a door.
Had to be when I was growing up knowing I will never get to watch original Star Wars at the movies which i loved so much.
then the Special Edition came around and I finally was able to watch them at the movies
Playing Star wars Knights of the old republic for the first time, and getting hit by the late game plot twist.... then naming my son Revan
Dad was excited for the movies and took us kids along to see The Phantom Menace... unfortunately for him we were more interested in rolling snifters down the aisle! But it was a fun bonding moment, and we have paid more attention to Star Wars since then!
When episode 1 came out, we went as a family to go see it. One the family outings iIcan actually remember with everyone being there.
My favourite memory was waking up early as a kid to play Shadows of the Empire on the N64 every saturday.
My dad introducing my sister and I to the original trilogy when we were kids and staying at a family friends house for the weekend.
When Darth Vader came to my 4th birthday
Watching Episode 1 every day after school on VHS and getting frustrated waiting for it to rewind.
Playing with different Lego star wars characters with my brother. Where we would create our own storylines.
My favorite memory was getting my teenage daughter to go with me to a midnight premiere of the latest movie and got her addicted to the franchise. Ah the force is strong with that one.
the memory of my father saying me "luke I'm your father....." and then slap me
Star Wars was the first grown up movie that my sister and I saw. I remember sitting in the theatre with our little bag of lollies absolutely thrilled and so excited. So lots of memories with this movie - was blown away by the movie - all that new technology that we didn’t really understand and we both wanted Leias hair.
The midnight screening of rouge one at the embassy hearing the whole cinema gasp in horror when Darth Vader turned his saber on in the somke and cut down the rebels at the end
Being at Disneyland on the opening day of the new Star Wars attraction - queuing for hours to be one of the first to experience Hyperspace Mountain with my son - who is a huge fan - is something to remember
Being three years old and watching Star Wars IV over and over and over. Was the first movie I got hooked on and still one of the best!
my best and favourite memory was going to the release dates for Starwars Episode 4 , 5 ,6
out the 3 I think return of the jedi was the best ,also I collected the toys from the 3 movies and still have these today ,this prize would be a outstanding package
these movies are linked to so many memories, from sitting on the couch as a kid with my dad watching them on tv, to hanging with the mates and putting up with the gfs mocking us for being obsessed with them. Or the Christmas that the wife and everyone else indulged my passion and all bought me Star Wars tshirts as gifts, lol ended up with9 or so
My favourite memory was getting to watch the Empire Strikes Back at the movies when it first came out. Back then you could buy a'movie book', which had the story and photos from the movie. I still have mine, all these years later. My kids both enjoyed me reading it to them. Made us a Star wars family! May the force be with you!
I had a crush on this amazing girl andtook me ages tp build up the courage to ask her on a date and she said yes! Took her to Phantom Menace at the movies. 12 years later we are happily married ?
My favourite memory is a recent one; my partner is really into Star Wars, and before The Last Jedi came out, we watched all the older episodes, and seeing her watching her favourite series just really warmed my heart.
Binge-watching the final 5 (of the first 6) movies after watching the first and realising how much i enjoyed Star Wars!
I met my wife through our mutual love of star wars
I wooed her with a wookie call!!!
It was being old enough and having money and a car and being able to to my youngest brother to see Attack of the Clones on the big screen. His first Star Wars on the big screen. And yes, we did enjoy it :P
Watching Star Wars each night on our honeymoon episode 1 to 6 (before the new trilogy started)
Mine would have to be getting my authentic new hope poster hanging up in our house, I haven't missed a movie at the cinemas with my dad and look forward to all the new ones that come out. Best story of all time!
Going out with my parents and brothers to see Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (Apparently it's not the best movie? 8 year old me loved it haha)
Being introduced to and watching the original trilogy as a child and finding out darth vader *spoiler alert* is lukes father, this blew my mind and made the empire strikes back my favourite movie in the trilogy
When I first saw The Phantom Menace, I was a child and was completely obsessed. Then KFC released a range of Phantom menace toys. I managed to convince my parents to get me a couple but I really wanted the set. I set about making a list on how I could earn enough money to get the entire set, and every time I had $5 I would make the walk from our home to KFC to get another toy. The people at KFC eventually caught on and put them aside for me so I could get the complete set once I had the money, the 4th time I went in the manager asked me which ones I still needed. I told him and he gave them all to me for $5. I will never forget, and still have the toys to this day!
Getting a massive xwing fighter for my 7th Birthday. My grandparents brought it for me and we spent a lot of time meticulously putting the stickers on...
Building Star Wars LEGO as a kid and in particular trying to make custom pod racers
Doing a marathon of the re-releases of both the prequels and sequels with friends the night before the release of The Force Awakens.
Favourite memory is when we went back to the Philippines for our great family reunion in 2015 and everyone, grandpa, uncles, cousins, bros and parents, i mean everyone and there are about 30 of us watched The Force Awakens in IMAX 3D in the cinema as one way to celebrate our reunion! Yes we are BIG Star Wars fans :) May The Fourth Be With You!
My brother and I didn't get along the best as kids, but the one thing we really bonded over was Star Wars. We would watch all the old VHS tapes together (over, and over, and over) build the Lego ships, he would hit me with his green lightsabre... I would love to share this prize with him and remember those good o'l times again. :)
Playing the original battlefront for hours on end as a kid with my friends.
Just watching the old 3 at home on tv with my family when I was a kid
Growing up as a kid, middle of winter. Luke cuts open a tonton and get inside, watching with my cousins we all laughed and jested about how smelly and slimy it would be. Good time, good times.
seeing the rancor for the first time as a kid in return of the jedi and diving under the seats in the theater.
Probably when my flatmate got the starter pack for X-Wing and then the next day all three of us went and spent like $300 on all three factions XD Also every other memory ever <3
I was never big into Star Wars. Then one day I sat down and watched the 6 movies in a row. What a crazy ride. Some great moments and some not so great (Jar-jar). Now I am massively a fan! Cannot wait for SOLO and the next in the adventure of Rae and Poe (my favorites).
Sitting down and watching all 6 films back to back a few years ago. In chronological order too.
Is going to the movies with my dad and grandad to see Return Of The Jedi back in 83. And now we have kept that tradition with every star wars release so far at the movies, which is now, Grandad (my farther), Me and my two daughters. And we already book for Solo
Blasting duel of the fates while having a very pathetic lightsaber duel with a mate
Watching Star wars as a kid with my father multiple times in a row and acting out some of the scenes, man was a good childhood. We went to the new ones multiple times aswell
May the 4th Star Wars marathon 2016
We had a Brownie Camp that was Star Wars themed thanks to a Star Wars loving Brownie Leader . Complete with lightsabers, costumes and cardboard cut-outs!
May the 4th Star Wars marathon 2016
My sixth birthday, May 9th 1978, sitting in a cinema finally getting to see this movie that all my friends had been talking about for a while. An obsession that's about to hit 40 years was begun when the enormous Star Destroyer swooped overhead, and every birthday and Christmas for years after was all about Star Wars toys. Even now I still make an effort to get a little bit of Star Wars into every birthday somehow. So if I win this, could you deliver it next Wednesday? That'd rock.
Watching the original movies with my now passed Dad.
First thing oddly that always springs to mind first is Ewoks in Return of the Jedi. For some reason that was something in my childhood that I enjoyed.
Watching The "always a bigger fish" scenefor the first time. Gave me nightmares as a kid, still loved the creatures tho.
My mum taking me to see episode 1 at the movies hehe or that my mother decorated her house with star wars gear even had a Christmas tree done as darth Vader my little girl love it ?
When my, now wife, gave me a home made cross-stitch for Christmas. It was the "I love you", "I know" scene and she'd spent ages on it.
My fondest memory is getting a stormtrooper tattoo on sunset strip in hollywood. I show it off proudly
Always loved the movies so always make sure i see them in cinema, but my favourite is stolen from The Simpsons, so after any movie now with a huge line up for next screening, i always walk out and as i go past the line and say “Wow! Who would have ever guessed Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father?”
Is going to the movies with my dad and grandad to see Return Of The Jedi back in 83. And now we have kept that tradition with every star wars release so far at the movies, which is now, Grandad (my farther), Me and my two daughters. And we already book for Solo.
My favourite Star Wars memory to date is going into Episode 7 and feeling all the nostalgia coming back with Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Chewie all reunited! The atmosphere in that cinema was great, the hype was unreal. Can't wait for Episode 9! (Hopefully it makes up for how trash Episode 8 was)
My grandma got me an OG Darth Vadar plastic lightsaber for Christmas when I was about 7. The really old ones where the blade didn't even retract all the way into the handle. Looking back, it was super clunky and cheap, and it broke pretty much immediately, but at the time it was the coolest thing I owned.
Almost completing the entire collection of starwars duvee and pillow covers
Going to the movies when I was around 4 maybe watching the first clone wars movie with my dad
Sitting around the TV with friends binge watching all the Star Wars movies dressed up as our favourite characters every may the 4th good times
Playing Jedi Knight academy with my bei
I would be a rich man today if my younger brother hadn't blown up all my original Star Wars figures with poha fire crackers!! At least now there's Star Wars Lego!!
Finding out that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father...
Watching A New Hope for the first time. Who could ever forget their first time!
I used to watch Star Wars A New Hope everyday after school back in 1987. It was my favourite movie for years
Playing with the original toys after watching Episode 4 for the first time. Wish my older brother had kept those!
Star Wars Episode 3 on PS2, when me and my friends finally beat Darth Vader!
When you find out that Darth is Luke's Father! Chills.
Watching Rogue One at the movies with my son...
Introducing my girls to Star Wars and seeing them enjoy them as much as me.
Watching Star Wars for the very first time and seeing how amazing it it. I still have the same feeling now when I watch the movies, it’s like I’m seeing it for the first time again and again
My favorite memory would be seeing a new hope at the movies for the first time with the re release in the nineties . Made me a fan for life . May the force be with you .
My favourite memories is watching the original three with my dad as a kid and now watching them with my neatly 13 year old son
It’s got to be when I watched all of the Star Wars movies at once because of this girl, then asking her out to watch the latest Star Wars movie. Lol, it worked
My favourite Star Wars moment was playing with my brother's original Star Wars toys - Jabba's Palace, A giant Millennium Falcon, a child-sized AT-AT. And my saddest was when we moved country 20 years ago and sold them all! :'(
I’m born on Star Wars Day so every year I get “Happy Star Wars Day” or “May The Fourth Be Woth You” instead of Happy Birthday. Every year my friends make me feel special, especially since I’m a huge Star Wars fan!
My favourite memory is the sceens of where the camera is looking out into dark space with all the bright shiney stars so far far away
Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2015, I met Carrie Fisher. When I walked up to her I said "Ms Fisher, it is a honour and privilege to meet you, she replied, "Aaww honey, we have known each other for years, it's just Carrie". When I left she gave me a kiss, I was so happy I was crying. It is something that I will never forget and will cherish that experience always.
My favourite star wars memory was when i was about 5-8 years old. Me and my big brother (he is 10 years older than me) would go and rent out the original star wars battlefront 2 and just play that for hours togther. It would be awesome to have this ps4 because i know he has one which means we would be able to play this new battlefront game togther as well
When I sewed Jedi robes and costumes for my two Star Wars crazy boys and we walked all around a shopping mall trick or trearing during Halloween.
I remember when i was 6 my dad sat me down one saturday and we watched all 3 of the original movies back to back.
My favourite moment would have to be taking my 7 year old son to see the force awakens on the big screen. It was such an awesome moment to spend with him. It reminded me of when i went and saw empire strikes back on the big screen in the 80s.
Watching the Star Wars trilogy on tapes with my Poppa when I was a youngin'.
The day my 7 year old daughter asked me about Star Wars (she was about 5 I think at the time). Me sitting down and explaining characters and how the story began. She loved it and still remembers when I ask her random questions. Proud Daddy moment!!
Watching Episode 1 when I was kid, then found out there were 3 Star Wars movies before that. Then went to watch the original 3 and realising how epic they were all in the same week.
My very vivid memory of Star Wars was when I was young leaving the theatres after Star Wars Episode 3 and I immediately fell in love with the series and asked my father if we can watch the rest of the movies and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Seeing Return of the Jedi in the theatre when I was a kid. I've been a fan ever since. And know I feel really lucky that my daughter gets to experience the new movies in the theatre at the same age!
My fondest memory associated with Star Wars would have to be collecting Star Wars action figures and Lego and playing out some epic stories with my little brother :)
Going to watch all 3 of the original saga movies at the Odeon theatre in Gisborne with my brother and mates. Had the best time and watching the opening crawl still makes me shiver with delight.
I think for me it is overall how inclusive it is - I was sitting at the force awakens with my partner who is a fanatic since he was a boy, my daughter who has grown up on them, my dad and my aunty and we were all equally enthralled.
Also, I'm a girl, and having someone like Leia as a fierce and strong women was huge growing up seeing most action stars being boys. She's my hero <3
taking my son to 'The Last Jedi' on the big screen last year, he is finally old enough to share in my love of Star Wars!
My best memory is sitting around a record player listening to return of the jedi with the picture book .... I'm that old ? now I have 4 starwars loving boys and still have the record
Dressing up as Darth Maul on Halloween and jamming Star Wars Forced Unleashed on my PSP back in the day.
Sitting in front of my Grandfather's old CRT TV watching the Original Trilogy on VHS.
Watching all the movies with my boys one weekend- to introduce them to Star Wars. Now I have one Darth Vader fan and one Luke Skywalker fan !!
My grand perents getting me a light saber before they showed 4,5 and 6 to me and getting my hair cut like Anakin Skywalker haha
Has to be the first time I cosplayed and went to movies as Darth Maul, Love you dad for introducing me to this as a wee boy
My wife and I got married on Star Wars day 5 years ago! That's my favourite Star Wars memory.
Introducing my girlfriend to them for the first time, marrying her tomorrow!
Listening to the empire strikes back on record as a kid. It was my brothers. Pretty sure it's still around somewhere. ?
When i was about 5 i had an awesome Darth Vader piggy bank money thing that played the darth vader music and said some of his quotes when you put money in it. “Impressive, most inmpressive but you are not a jedi yet” loved it.
Going to the movies and seeing the first ever star wars movie as a kid was truly awesome !
My favorite memory is watching all the movies in a row with the family in a day, with blankets and junk food
My favourite memory of star wars was when darth vader revealed that he was the father of luke sky walker
Playing rogue squadron 2 on the gamecube, pretty fond memory
Having Star wars binge days with my family, watching every star wars movie in chronological order from start to finish. Drinks Snacks and hours & hours of glorious star wars. it was the perfect way to spend a day
Having star wars episode one the phantom menace on VHS as a kid and watching it repeatedly
purchasing my first Star Wars - Return of the Jedi set in Sydney while visiting my oldest brother!
all of them, but probably building my lego SSD
When Revenge of the Sith came out, my mate and I dressed up as Anakin and Sidious. We went to a midnight screening at The Embassy Theatre and dragged our poor, suffering girlfriends along. When we got there, we were like "Ohhhh, noooo! We're the only two nerds in costume!" I could feel the embarrassment radiating off my girlfriend.
Fortunately, more people arrived in costume, including someone who was in a full tuxedo but wearing a Boba Fett helmet. Some dude dressed as Obi-wan demanded that I duel him. It was a great night and fun was had by all. Everyone enjoyed the movie and people clapped at the end. I enjoyed it so much I went and saw it again about 12 hours later. Just such happy memories associated with what we thought at the time was the sunset of Star Wars.
Not really seen the films but love the Battlefront games. So immersive! And the sound design OMG!
Waking up with my Star Wars bed sheets, and accidentally stabbing myself in the eye several times with my toy lightsaber ?
Fav memory is having to watch Darth Vader’s story revealed in episodes 1-3. At the time there were only 4-6 and omg it was mindblowing?
Watching the movies with my friends as a kid and then going outside and recreating the scenes!
My stepdad and I always got along, but its our Star Wars movie trips that we alwayas really enjoyed.
Pretending to be princess Leia when I was small
Pretending to be princess Leia when I was small
My son Lucius is born on May the fourth and he loves Star Wars. So him and his birth is always and forever associated with Star Wars. We play X-Wing together and he loves it but he would love that PlayStation for his birthday!!
Watching all the movies every year on May the 4th O_O
Hanging out at my mates house and watching all 6 of the movies and then just playing the original battlefront. Such good times
Binge watching all the Star Wars movies with my family as a kid, some of the best memories i have
Seeing it at the movies (a new hope) as a kid it made for endless collecting of action figures and doing anything to earn pocket money for them and make believe games on the playground, using the force endless discussions as kids have about it..It's the movie that changed the cinematic universe. May the Force be…nah. The Force is always with us.....
Watching the original trilogy with my Dad back when I was little!
Watching Star Wars: The Phantom Menace as a kid on VHS. So many hours were spent watching it, then rewinding, then rewarding. Fantastic times ^_^
I would really love to win this give away! It would mean the world to me hehe ?
Baking a tonne of Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighter and Chewbacca cookies for all my friends at the 24 hour Movie Marathon! Nothing like a bunch of sugar to get you through an epic movie marathon!
My favourite memory is the tradition I've created with my 16 year old daughter to see the movie whenever a new installment is released.
She was in Germany when The Last Jedi was released, so I had to wait until she returned to see it. She did get to see it there before me, but the dialog was in German, with no subtitles.
She was a little tired when she told me about this, and I nearly had to disown her when she messaged me to say "I've just seen the new Sky Wars movie!".
For me and my friends 12th birthday, our parents surprised us with tickets to the premiere of Episode III. I’m pretty sure they hadn’t heard us scream so loud before.
My favourite memories for Star Wars are how excited I get every time a new trailer comes out for upcoming movies plus every time I hear the opening symphony music it makes me relive the great parts of this amazing saga
I've never enjoyed sci fi. Till my then finance, now wife. Dragged me to see rouge one. Blew my mind. Next week I had some bad pork and was out of action for 10 days. Got to watch every starwars. I've been a fan ever since. Great memories.
Had a member of the 501st compliment on my star wars shirt while in a shop one day
My favourite memory is me and my dad, being giant Star Wars nerds, buying Star Wars Rebel Assault 2 and trying to beat it together when I was a kid. We still reference memories from that game to this day.
As a kid- I got the lego Naboo fighter and rebel snow speeder for christmas!! was awesome, and both are still in great condition today
Going to see episode 1 with my grandmother, it was my first time seeing a Star Wars on the big screen.
And since that moment, I’ve been hooked.
I had my nan go and buy me the VHS set of the older films.
I’ve gone and seen every film that has come at the movies since.
Playing that Pod racing game (don't know the name) with my brother as a little kid it was hours of fun.
My best starwars related memory was probably playing Jedi Power Battles with a mate on the psone god knows how many years ago.
May not have been the best game in the world by todays standards, but damn it was fun.
Runner up would be playing Republic commandos, Not coop but damn it was a good game.
Ny favourite star wars memory was in 2015. My brother and I had realised that we never actually fully watched the star wars movies. It was always just in parts when we were both little kids, so we wouldn’t really remember much about it. At this time, The Force Awakens was about to come out. So we decided to binge watch all 6 episodes! We were shocked at how extremely well made the movies were, especially episodes 4-6. It holds up really well even for today’s movies. We are huge sci-fi fans and we really enjoyed it, wondering how we had missed all those movies.
binging on all the movies before going to see the force awakens and discovering I actually really like them. And I love the new ones with Rey and Finn and most importantly grown up Leia
The Darth Vader theme when I first heard it. It's currently still my ring tone.
Playing the old star wars games on ps2
Being so enamoured with star wars as a kid that I threw a small tantrum when my dad brought home star trek rather than the next star wars movie.
when i was a real little kid, we went to one of the first showings of the empire strikes back at Westend Theater in Blenheim, we went hours early and the street and footpaths were jam packed with people trying to get in to see the movie, everyone was so excited to see the movie, must have been half the town there! not often they have to close off roads in front of movie theaters these days!!
Lightsaber fights with my brother!
In just eight words, Princess Leia Organa promised a whole universe of adventure. Luke Skywalker’s discovery of the hidden holographic message stored within his newly purchased astromech droid R2-D2 served as a sort of magic spell, the “open sesame” that unlocked all the excitement to come.
Mines probably the couple hundred hours of kotor i played growing up, really started me on playing rpgs
When seeing The Last Jedi with my son, the scene where it is complete silence all that can be heard throughout the whole theater was my son going crunch crunch crunch as he was eating his popcorn, when my wife eventually got to watch it on dvd release we made sure to re-enact that scene for her.
Being born the same year as Star Wars (1977) it has been a constant throughout my life.
Hope has been a big factor, whether it was an Old Hope (it was my grandfather's first and my Dad's middle name) or A New Hope (the movie, and something I held onto when we went through IVF successfully).
The AT-AT's on Hoth are my first Star Wars memory, followed by watching "The Making of Return Of the Jedi" where they showed how the Speeder Bike scene was filmed with "models" (ie TOYS to six year old me).
Not only were these the Coolest. Movies. Ever! But the coolest movies ever were made with TOYS!! My little mind was blown and my love for Star Wars was complete!
The 4 day event at Orlando last year. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars. With all the actors/actresses appearing, Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy and even George Lucas made an appearance! That was a thrilling experience!
Playing Episode 1 Pod Racing on my PC with my dad when I was 10. Now THIS IS POD RACING!
Probably hearing chewbeccas noise and having a little giggle afterwards. ?
Watching every Star Wars movie (although, who hasn't?!) but then playing StarWars Battlefront with my brother was probably my favourite memory :)
When my partner bought the BluRay collection and watched them with me for the first time knowing that I love it
Watching Rebels with my then 4 year old daughter. Lost her to the dark side :(
Being taken to a double feature of Empire Strikes back and Star Wars when I was a kid. Hoth is still my favourite part of any Star Wars movie!
Star Wars has always been a part of my life ever since I first saw the original films in the 80's. For me, my favourite memory is every single time I sit down to watch one of the movies. The "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." flashes on the screen and I get goosebumps....and then the first note of the opening score plays and a little tear forms in the corner of my eye.
I'm home.....
When I was seven years old, my grandmother sewed me a Rebel Flight Suit for me to run around in. That year I got a plastic lightsaber for my birthday, also from her. Running around her garden pretending to be Luke Skywalker is my favourite Star Wars memory.
Running around the park as a kid after watching the movies, force push birds as they fly away and using tree branches as lightsabers to chop down the villainous tree shrubs. All the while swiftly acting like a normal non-force sensitive when some walks by, for their own safety of course!
My favorite star wars memory has gotta be being sick from kindergarten and staying home watching the phantom menace on video.
The thing I think of most when I consider the longevity of Star Wars is the Stormtrooper who bashes his head on the blast door as they enter the control room to find C3PO and R2D2 in Episode IV - A New Hope. The fact that it made the cut is testament to the way the original movie was put together. I love that this passion remains today!
For me it's about the animal characters.
Jawa, Greedo, the Ewoks, Yoda, chewie, JarJar Binks, they made the movies wonderful for me when I was a child... and still do. I love the Porgs!
I now collect all the animal characters. Not the silly people ??
The Empire Strikes Back was the first movie I ever saw at a cinema. I was about 4 years old at the time and I remember being ridiculously excited to the point where my parents had to calm me down on the drive to the theatre. I’d never seen a screen that size before let alone a Star Wars movie and when the title showed up along with John William’s magical score I jumped so much at how loud it was that I threw my popcorn and coke all over the people in the row in front on me (this was back in the day when there was an intermission halfway through the film so my dad bought those people snacks as an apology for having to watch a movie drenched in coke).
The most vivid thing I remember about was Yoda scaring the crap out of me when he first appears on screan. I bawled my eyes out and everyone in the theatre started laughing. I’m 41 now but to this very day, every time I watch Empire I laugh when Yoda first appears because I remember how terrified I was of him as a 4 year old. The movie also takes me back to that first cinematic experience whenever I watch it so it holds quite a special place in my heart.
Watching episode 1 at the movies
Watching the Star Wars movies with my nephew and seeing that look of excitement on his face took me back to seeing them at the same age
Star Wars Imperial Helmet
watching through all the movies at a freinds place
Getting a photo with a bunch of stormtroopers at Armageddon Expo!
My favourite memory was when I married my wife on May the 4th two years ago and we both got Star Wars tattoos.
Morbidly hungover watching attack of the clones in the Bros home theater eating KFC and then falling ino a food coma with it on in the background, best sleep I've ever had
Just remember seeing the opening scenes as a kid and the being amazed by the effects used at the time in the original movies.
Playing star wars Jedi knight Jedi academy! Playing through that for the first time where you felt like your choices mattered and being able to chose between different lightsavers! Loved it!
Watching Star Wars with my dad at the movies sometime in the 80's (I was very young, so can't remember the exact year).
Growing up as a kid on the video tapes, then slowly being introduced to the animated series. Each little moment, learning more and more about the lore of Star Wars, beginning to love and enjoy my child hook, being raised on the Star Wars franchise. Looking back at all the graphics as a kid, to how they are now.. It's all life changing!
Seeing Episode 7 midnight on opening night! Never been so tired yet so excited before :D
Having all of my friends wanting to come over cause I was the only one who owned star war battlefront 2 the old one. And playing 4 player slit screen
Went and see the last Jedi with my loving GF and we got those really cool stormtroopers 3d glasses that made us look badass XD
Star Wars has been massive all my life and it was The Revenge of the Sith was the first movie I remember seeing in a cinema.
I remember quite well the first time seeing Darth Vader walking down the hall of Leia's ship looking so bad ass. It was the moment I was like "this is awesome." Ever since I've been a massive Star Wars fan.
I remember maybe 3 years ago I had never watched a single Star Wars movie, I’d heard of it but I just thought it wouldn’t be my cup of tea.... well I was 100% wrong, I love every single Star Wars movie, me and my partner cannot wait for all the new episodes coming out.
The best memory I have is all the times the family would get around a marathon all the film's it was the best times I could think of
going to the movies with mum and brother - rare occasion
When The Phantom Menace came out, I was sick and bedridden, so I couldn't watch it in the cinemas. My cousin, bless his heart, went and bought me a pirate copy to watch at home. Unfortunately, it was a pirate copy of a premier somewhere, and throughout the movie, it had people screaming and cheering and taking photos with flash of the screen, so I either couldn't hear what was being said, or was being distracted by people screaming 'IT'S YODAAAAAAAA!'.
My favourite Star Wars memory has to be when i was 11 after the seeing of RotS and being so juiced up on the Jedi buzz my friend and I spent over four hours practicing our own Anakin and Obi Wan light saber fight!
Seeing my son buzz out as much as I did at all the Star Wars cosplay at Armageddon in Auckland every year.
When Return of the Jedi was out, we went to Cobb & Co with the neighbours and they had someone dressed up as Darth Vader. The neighbours' kid freaked out and burst into tears, and they gave him a big thing of candy to calm him down. I was tough and got nothing. Where is the justice?
When Mum and dad came back from overseas and bought me my first ever LEGO set! It was a X-Wing Starfighter and has been my favourite set ever!
My father taking us three kids to all the Star Wars movies. In later years we took him to see one just as he had done for us kids. Now I take my son to watch Star Wars. Happy times may the 4 be with you Dad
Really love watching the Lego Star Wars with my 3yr who has taking a huge liking to Star Wars
Watching Star wars movies as a child on our old big brick TV, that was magical
May the 4th be with you!!. While watching The Force Awakens with my two boys, my wife and daughter walk in ( them not been fans), they sit down watch the whole movie, Rey being the lead of course, and at the end realise how awesome it was. Now we are a family of five Star Wars fans.
Having a Darth Vader helmet toy when I was young. It was so used by everyone who see's and wears it. So much that the helmet reeked of peoples odour and breath smell.Then an uncle came to visit and tried it on and said in a Darth Vader voice... "The force is too strong for this one."
My best memory of the franchise has to be when they first released the force awakens, the experience of a modern and high definition Star Wars film. It just really got me pumped for the future and new films to come! Loved every one since :D
When I was a kid in the 80s, I had a Lando Calrissian action figure (with commemorative coin!). It was the only Star Wars toy I remember having, and I loved it.
First time I ever went to my partners house and seeing his massive star wars collection. I had to get him to explain it all to me cause I had no idea what anything was
Me and my dad pulling an all nighter to watch a starwars marathon so that we were prepared for the new movie (The force awakens)
My daughter dressing as darth vader for a school photo
Went to an office Christmas party where the theme was A, P, or E. I chose to go as Anakin, and although I sweltered all night in a heavy robe at Christmas time, it was a great memory because my then girlfriend cut off a piece of her hair so that I could have a rat's tail. Massive commitment to the cause! Guess that's why I married her :)
My favourite memory is every Saturday morning my brothers and I would put on a Star Wars DVD and reenact the fight scenes together!
Watching the first six movies again with my sister, who was watching it for the first time. It was such a great experience to see her going "wtf is this" during The Phantom Menace, to crying at the end of Return of The Jedi.
My earliest memory of Star Wars the sparked the obsession I have today was when I was 7yrs (1990) old and my mum got me the vhs of Star Wars a new hope for my birthday. I swear I watched that over and over again until i streached that vhs tape out until it was unplayable. That was a sad day when I couldn’t watch it, now I’m a father of 2 boys who I get to share the same experiences with only in digital (not the same experience as watching on vhs)
My favourite Star Wars memory is pretty recent. But it is when I got tickets for the force awakens midnight screening for my partner and her brothers but didnt tell them. I let them all go to bed and then woke them up at 11pm forced them to get dressed (pardon the pun) and took them to the movies. They were so confused but when they found out what was going on they felt it was worth while!
So my favorite memory is also my first. My dad had an old VHS with the 3 movies on it. So my first time watching (25ish years ago) was also my first marathon. We had popcorn, snacks and spent all day watching the first three movies. I was hooked ever since and will do anything for Star Wars
10 y.o. I was Vader, my older cousin and his gf were Luke and Leia. Got kinda awkward when I reminded them they were siblings...
Favourite memory when i was a child was when the ewok hits himself with his own stonethrower. Gets me everytime ?
The epic light saber battles!
As a teenager watching the first star wars movie ever in 1976!!!
For me, Star Wars wasn’t ever about the films. The prequels came out when I was a teenager, and I’d seen the Original Trilogy – and recognised their inherent superiority – a little earlier. But for me, the immersion came mostly from games: from early memories of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, to playing out epic Battlefront II space battles with my brother and later, as a retro fix with my best friend at university. I remember adoring the Knights Of The Old Republicgames with their sheer volume of lore: wise-cracking robots, sleek spaceships piloted by brave rogues, traitorous Sith Lords. The films will always be a cultural touchstone (and Episode I, I will always insist, is cruelly underrated). But for me Star Wars means more than who shot first, or doing Chewie impressions. It’s the universe that A New Hope started. And it’s being a kid with my friends, our imaginations fired by a galaxy far, far away
Going as a family to watch the new movies on my Birthday for the last few years :)
Going with my Dad to all the movies when they were first released!

I remember buying the first book (StarWars) when it came out in the 70’s (ended up with 2 copies). Loved it so much I had to see the film which exceeded my expectations turning me into a lifelong fan! Now my kids are as well.
Dressing up as wicket for Halloween!
And so many ppl thinking I was a teddy bear. I was so upset. Uncultured swine!

And so many ppl thinking I was a teddy bear. I was so upset. Uncultured swine!
Long marathon sessions watching ep 4 + 5 + 6!
But most of all, the film resonated with its audience like no other. It was a combination of the classic hero's journey storyline, the appealing matching of actors to their roles, the immersive world shown on the screen, the merging of the science fiction technology and fantasy of the Force, and the blend of action and humor that appealed to the sense of wonder and fun in everyone's inner child.
The second film in the series The Empire Strikes Back was arguably an even better made film than the first, and the storyline of the series was given dramatic weight by the surprise reveal at the end.
The other films in the Star Wars series continued the storyline and fleshed out the universe, but didn't achieve the cinematic heights of the first two films. But many Star Wars fans still enjoy the ride of the other four films and cling to the hope that the next film in the series will be of the same quality level as the first films.
My best memory is watching the whole first 3 movies with my dad when i was a kid. Such greatness those movies were
The star wars bar and crazy music lol
I remember the lead up to episode one , i remember the hype that surrounded it, whitcoulls and the warehouse had section all dedicated to starwars, it seemed all the magazines and news were filled with star wars stories. And then when the movie was released and that first intro crawl, i remember people clapping and screaming, the atmosphere was electric. Whether you liked the movie or not, the lead up to the movie and being part of of the crowd was an experience i will always remember.
Would probably be playing dark forces as a young fella.
It was amazing to be able to steep in the shoes of a jedi knight. Little did I know what games would become!
Bring on the dark forces remake!!
The first time I saw A New Hope as a kid, staying up past my bed time (with my parents' permission of course!) to watch it on the old Philips K9 in the spare room in the house I grew up in. That room was the farthest from the main source of heating in the house so I was wrapped up in a dressing gown with an old school bar heater going.
My parents have since sold that house and moved elsewhere but I have a lot of fond memories watching movies and playing games in the spare room.
Is this the only linked site that doesn't give you the option to 'log in with Facebook'!!!!
Sheesh I had to Manually enter a password I didn't remember if I remembered lolol
My Mum buying me the StarWars mini Records with booklets for kids in the early 80's. Good times sitting next to the big speaker with Darth Vaders voice booming through.
I have only just seen them all!! I started watching while j was on a plane.....then i binge watched them all. Cabt wait for new movie this month!!!!
I remember seeing Star Wars - A New Hope when i was 3 or 4 and staying up late at night and playing out thr scenes with my brothers as we camped outside for the night at our family home - been a fan ever since!

I used to play a lot of Star Wars Lego 2 on Playstation 2 with my brother and sister. There was usually a bit of a fight over who got to be Chewie or any of the Jedis but it was super fun regardless. I really cherish those memories with my family, so they would be my favourite memories associated with Star Wars :)
I remember the first time watching it I was a kid, I was amazed and ever since have been the biggest fan
When I met Chewbacca and he wouldnt come near me because I was wearing wearing a Sith Jersey. After I told him I was a Rebel spy we took group selfies. Hands down one of my favourite memories.
Staying up late when I was a kid to watch the star wars movies on tv. Was always my favorite thing ever when they were showing
Watching Star Wars with my son for his first time
Seeing The Force Awakens in IMAX. Getting to see a new & decent Star Wars release in cinemas for the first time was something special.,
Marathoning the movies back to back with my family for he first time when i was 13 for sure

Getting up at 6am to play the original Star Wars Battlefront split screen with my brother on PC was the best!!
Watching the original Star Wars with my kids for the first time, and them enjoying it as much as me!
Fulling in Love with the Star wars universe after watching the original Trilogy as a kid
Watching return of the jedi when it first came out at the movies with my dad, one of the first times i went to the movue theatre.
My favourite memory is going to the 90's re-release of a new hope with my late father when I was really young. Always had a soft spot for that movie ever since.
My best Star Wars memory without a doubt would have to be in Revenge of the Sith when Obi Wan realized that his apprentice and "brother" Anakin was turning to the dark side, concluding in one of the best duels in the franchise between master and apprentice
My favourite starwars experience is seeing the force awakens and seeing Han and Chewie back together
In line at the cinema to watch the long awaited Episode 1: Phantom Menace, practicing lightsaber fighting moves with my brother while we waited to watch the movie. The feelings of anticipation and excitement stand out so clearly in my mind, even after all these years.
My fav memory are all the awesome toys !
going to see the movie star wars in the 1980s with my class captivating so exciting and memorable and I ve bee hooked ever since. Now my kids are the same so this would be amazing.
My parents used to record the original trilogy onto VHS when they played on TV. With young kids there wasn’t much money to splash out on new VHS tapes. They would stop and start the recording when there was ads so we could watch the whole movie without interruption as a family. It was pretty awesome. They also did it with the big WWF events like Royal Rumble and Summer Slam.
Being scared of Darth Vader lol. on that note, someone at my work came in DRESSED AS DARTH VADER!!!! - not scared anymore... lol :P
It's nothing big and major events but it was those night with the family. Back in my younger days, we didn't have much money or a big house and just a mini tv but we would go to VideoEZY every weekend and rent VHS movies to watch, and I remember every month we would watch atleast 1 StarWars movie! It was simplier times back then, but the hype for it was golden.
My favourite star wars memory was when my dad and I watched all the Star Wars movies back to back leading up to the force awakens. During that time I was a huge lego fan and he got loads and loads of lego... My favourite one was the the millennium falcon.
Making all the older neighbours walk around on all fours so I could ride their backs pretending they're AT-AT's.
I grew up watching the prequels. I remember my dad taking me and friend all the way to hamilton to watch revenge of the sith when it came out un cinemas. Star Wars is a life long love for me.

Me and my sister went to the midnight screening of The Force Awakens together. She'd JUST moved to the same city as me, and we were both super excited and super terrified, but we both adored it. We've loved Star Wars since we were kids, she noticed the storm trooper hitting his head and rewound the tape multiple times to show everyone in the family, going back to that feeling with her as adults was awesome.
I still remember going to watch the Phantom Menace 18 years ago in the cinema. Absolutely loved it and went out and rented the original trilogy movies from my local Video Ezy the next day (on VHS, man I hated having to rewind) and binge watching them back to back. Love that the Star Wars story is still going strong and that a new generation of kids can fall in love with a 40 year old film series
When the started selling the non special edition edit films on bluray
The Star Wars ride at Disneyland.
The Old Jedi Power Battles Game on the original Playstation and getting to run around as a Jedi with a lightsaber.
When I forgot that the prequels existed...
For me it’s the fan fair around the prequel releases (despite the end quality of the actual movies). The hype of it all and them putting the original movies back in theatres as a lead up. It was the first time seeing them on the big screen which was just amazing .
My favorite memory is of my parents wedding they had it star wars themed and even dressed up as han solo and princess Leia with the wedding party also being characters from the movies. They also got married on may the 4th
Going on the Star Tours ride at Disneyland for the first time in 1998
Soo many, from reading the Expanded Universe books, to the countless hours in various Star Wars games, getting original action figures and the time Luke Skywalkers head broke off. The midnight screenings of new movies,
and getting a Star Wars tattoo
Seeing the original Star Wars at the movies with my uncle when I was 7. It was amazing and I loved it so much I made him take me again the following week. It was the first film I ever saw at the movies twice... and I have seen it so many time since then, I have lost count.
My favourite memory is finding a pair of toy lightsabers from the 80s, hidden in the back of my grandad's garage. My brother and I then proceeded to duel to the death.
Spending hours as a young kid playing PS1- Star Wars: Episode I Jedi Power Battles. Was a favorite for sure !
Going to the premiere of episode 2 with the whole family!
Enjoying the look on people's faces when I tell them I never watched Star Wars. Priceless
my favourite moments were actually playing the games!
My most favorite memory was when I was little about 6 years old my dad had an original set of vcr video tape of the original trilogy and we always have a movie night the whole family would huddle up in front of the old tube tv with potato chips and fizzy drinks till we would all fall asleep haha. Those days were awesome.
The ignition sound of a lightsaber and the combat that follows.
Best memory was watching star wars episode 3 in the cinema with family as a kid and holding a star wars action figure!
My favorite memory with star wars is going to the midnight premiers with friends that I haven't seen for a while, seeing the cool dress ups people do for them is awesome.
Watching the very first Star Wars movie in 1977 when I was 17 - it was my first date with my husband, and yes I am that old lol.
The Space Battles were Probably some of coolest things i saw when i was younger
That would be sitting down in front of the to watch the return of the jedi while eating salt and vingar chips with my old nanny
My favourite star wars memory was as a little kid, staying up late to watch star wars on TV for the first time. I'd been desperate to watch it, I think it was episode 3, and my parents let me stay up waaaay past my bedtime to watch it. I was fixed to the TV screen the whole time. Anyway, I was tiny and had never stayed up until 11pm before so I remember looking at the clock when the credits finished and going to bed like, wow that was cool. That's what started the star wars obsession. Pretty sure that's what started my Harrison Ford obsession too.
Watching star wars in order with my partner, great times!
I grew up with the original series and watched them so many times, but getting to watch my kids watch them and finding out the identity of Darth Vader.....priceless
My favorite stars wars memory will be today May 4th when I marry my wife this afternoon.
We are both huge star wars fans that we will be entering our reception to the imperial march!!
The first time i watched it obcthe bug screen when i was 3, my mother took me to see it as i was already a big fan of battlestar galactica on tv. My memory of the movie is all over the place with the timeline of the movie ( a normal little kid thing) with me the deathstar shoots its laser and then Luke sees his dead aunt and unkle. Not long after i found a figure promise pack at the local genral store in Bluff... though i begged my mum for it, she didnt get it...
I had a Star Wars duvet cover as a kid, I had no idea what Star Wars was at the time so looking back, it seems weird that I had that. To make things weirder, in a book from my time at preschool it says “my favourite thing is Star Wars”. I didn’t know about Star Wars until I was 10, is this proof of a parallel universe? The Mandela effect? Or perhaps, goblins? We may never know.
Definitely watching all the movies for the first time!
I just remember sitting in the lounge with all my siblings, and together as a family watching through the original trilogy over three nights. Such a simple moment, but that made my childhood so special.
The Epic tai figher battles in space
As a kid back in the 80's I remember sitting in front of our massive 14inch T.V. watching Star Wars IV, V and VI on a Sunday with my big Bro, and the fire cranking as It was Winter.
I guess my favourite memory from star wars is those cold winter's in the UK when we had proper deep snow and would play out the hoth battle with my mates.... Still my favourite bit of empire!
Going to see episode 1 The phantom menace with my dad when i was 5. Loved star wars ever since.
My favourite memory is the very first time my son saw Star Wars for the very first time, and the look on his face through the whole movie was pricless. He is now a huge Star Wars fan and is turning his bedroom into everything Star Wars ?
Going to the cinema to watch A New Hope in 1977, it was amazing!! Seems like yesterday :-)
Frequent lightsaber fights in costume with my 5 year old daughter.
Staying up till 3am playing pod racing on Nintendo 64 with mates
Probably binge watching with my family would be a good memory
Watching Return of the Jedi with my grandfather when I was only in single digits.
Going to the movies with my mates to see rouge one the scene with Darth Vader made the movie.
Getting Star Wars figures as a kid and making up what we thought would be the plot for the third film after seeing Empire Strikes Back
When my partner realised I had been brought up on Star Trek and converted me to Star Wars.
Watching the Starwars prequel movies with my parents. The Pod racers were glorious on the big screen!
On the way home from seeing Empire Strikes back with our nan, playing Lightsabers with my brother with the rolled up posters we'd bought at the cinema (wish I still had those!)
Being determined to win a life sized Jar Jar Binks from pizza hutt! It was HUGE! I’m certain if won it and my parents would have declined it! I was waiting my the phone everyday after school. As i was about 11 at the time following The Phantom Menace. The devastation was intense! ??????
I'm not a big starwars fan but my son is the biggest fan I would like to win this for him .he started liking STAR WARS from age 3 and is now 12 and still loves it my favourite memory is being able to see the enjoyment on his face every time we watch a movie or he plays with his little action figure .if I won I think I would be be promoted to best mum ever please please
I was so unbelievably excited to see the first teaser trailer for Episode 1 and realise that in my lifetime I was going to see a new Star Wars film on the big screen (and now I’ve seen 7 and still geek out at each release).
Listening to the Star Wars The Old Republic Revan, audio book. I only listen to it when I ran or walked and because it was so good, I lost a lot of weight.
My dad took me to see Star Wars in 1977 when I was 4. I've loved it ever since and of course shared it with my own kids. My daughter presented a speech in front of her school about the power of imagination in which she thanked me for introducing her to fantastic new worlds and stories, it brought a tear to my eye.
The first time you hear Darth Vader breathing and slowly making his way through the smoke... How can you not be hooked from that moment
Today is my boyfriends birthday. When I first met him I asked him when his birthday was and he would always say may the 4th be with you. I did not get it at first lol
I always remember watching star wars as a kid for the first time,loved evey minute of it!
Going to a Star Wars/Empire Strikes Back double feature as a kid and having to swap parents part way through because neither had the stamina to make it through both :D
How great jar jar Binks is.
my favorite memory was going to a showing of the first star wars in Wellington with my friend but the music was played in time by the Wellington orchestra at the TSB Arena, Wellington.
I remember playing Dark forces II at a friends house, and the more and more I played the more I wanted to learn more about this Universe, Needless to say I went straight into a movie marathon and almost every year I repeat that marathon.
Back in the 80's of the last century, being 5 years old, reading and listening to my Star Wars Empire Strikes Back 7 inch 33 1/3 RPM record with read along book and being scared to turn to some pages because Yoda freaked me out.
My favourite memory that I associate with Star Wars is when I got a lightsaber keychain, and it turned into my nephews favourite thing...just knowing that something like that can bring joy to a kid makes me happy. My next favourite memory to associate with Star Wars will be when I win this? Actually it would become my favourite ?

Finding out about the Christmas special and how terrible it is.
Being given a copy of Star Wars a new hope Special edition on VHS one Christmas around 1997/1998. With many viewings after that, it was that video that started my love for all thing Star Wars and which continues through to today. This one Video introduced me to such a wonderful world filled with X-wings and TIE Fighters, Wookies and Darth Vader
It's the first science fiction movie that I remember. I'd like to this it started my facination with SciFi
Probably just sitting and watching the movies with my boy. Simple things that I’ll remember for a life time. Plus my nickname is Chewy
Just the joy and sense of wonderment of seeing episode 4 at the movies as a little kid. The opening title music though. Magic.
Going to see The Empire Strikes Back at the movies when i was a kid,
Taking my star wars figures around to my cousins house the play with th at at walker (originsl range ) back in the day, spent hours playing, was so jealous he had it,

Playing X-Wing on a 286 with no sound card and using the movie playing on VHS in the background to get the atmosphere!
another one of my favorite star wars memories was going to Disney Land, California and going on my all-time favorite ride the space mountain which I think is now taken down :(.
and also taking photos with kylo wren and some stormtroopers. then watching a star wars skit. it was so much fun.
Going to see attack of the clones at the movies it was the first time i had been to a cinema
Watching Return of the Jedi every single day of the school holidays in the 80's
Playing Star Wars Knights of the old republic and always going to the dark side
MA know my love for Star Wars if they just look at my purchase history. I was born the same year as Episode 4 was released and my daughter was born during the rebirth of Star Wars by Disney, sadly this meant my wife was not able to attend the midnight screening (we have attended midnight sessions of all the Disney Star Wars era) of The Last Jedi. Some of my most special memories are seeing The Return of the Jedi with my dad at a cinema that is now a cafe and carpark, and my dad bringing home Empire on VHS at least once a month for years and years.
Playing star wars Jedi knight Jedi academy! Playing through that for the first time where you felt like your choices mattered and being able to chose between different lightsavers! Loved it!
When i was younger and Star wars the Phantom Menace came out me and my brother where too young to understand the Title of the movie so we called it "Died" until we where about 5. (because Qui-Gon Jinn dies)
It's gotta be that moment as a kid when I watched Episodes 4 - 6 and of course that iconic " Luke, I am your Father" moment
Jamming starwars battlefront with my mate when it first came out all the sound effects of the guns and bombs were so funny and spot on!
Recording Star Wars on VHS from the first time it was on TV. Only had to pause out two ad breaks in the whole movie. Those were the days.
My favorite memory of starwars has to be playing the lego starwars games on ps2 and psp and the amount of fun it was to roll around as the droidekas
Back in the day when I was around 15 and my brother 8 years younger(so about 21 years ago), having lightsaber battles with the older battery extendable kind. Great times. I now have them with my 10 year old daughter and 2 year old son.

I was 4 years old when my uncle took me to our tiny (now demolished) local theatre to see Empire Strikes Back. Although I remember nothing about the story, images of the huge AT-AT's walking across the snow are some of my earliest memories.
I remember watching my first ever Star Wars in cinema, the third to be exact. Most dislike that movie but it welcomed me into a new fantasy world. I remember coming home and using the remote as a lightsaber, jumping from one couch to another making apparently rather aggravating noises ? Still a huge fan to this day!
Watching Star Wars 4,5&6 on VCR with my granddad when I was a kid. I didn’t really understand what was going on but loved the magic and wonder of the universe
I owe my taste in film's to my brother who introduced me to star wars when I was just a wee boy. But my favorite Star Wars memory would be when i was about 5 or 6 it was the night before Christmas, I was so freaking excited for the morning that I couldn't sleep! so my brother get's up and hands me one of my wrapped up present's early "like must of been around midnight" I ripped that paper off so bloody fast? but what did I find inside? Well.. it was Skywalkers Green Lightsaber! as a child I'd never been so happy! and It's not just a favorite Star Wars memory of mine but one of the fondest memories I have a kid?
It was the opening week of Revenge of the Sith back in 2005. I was around 10 years old then and my bestfriend at school asked me if I wanted to watch it with him since we both love Star Wars so I said yes! Our parents accompanied us and we definitely loved the movie. After that, his mum told my mum that she's (friend's mum) glad that my friend still had the chance to see the final Star Wars movie (at that time) since he had stage 4 leukemia. He passed 4 months after the movie came out. We shared a lot of great memories and Star Wars bantering in school so I'm glad I shared one final special moment with him. I know he would have loved to see the new trilogy.
Probably watching star wars for the first time as a kid with all of the special effects!
it would have to be going to episode 8 midnight screening for my birthday
My fave scene is Darth Vader delivering the line “I find your lack of faith, disturbing”
Sitting two rows ahead of my friends because it was dark and couldn't see. Then getting made fun of
Watching all the star wars films back to back non-stop before going and watching the last Jedi!
Say what you will about Phantom Menace, but as a young boy that movie filled me with so much joy and hope. Duel of the fates was one of the best pieces of music in a Star Wars movie, period. And the pod racing <3
Finally getting the HUGE millennium falcon model I'd been saving for back in the late 90's. Probably wasn't as big as I remember. Unfortunately a house eventually fell on it
As a kid my parents would put on deep voice and tell my that 'they were my father/mother' in a way that hinted at ere suspense. Can't wait to do to my kid.
When Star Wars got bought by Disney, my wife loves classic Disney films but is not a fan of Star Wars. Now letting our Daughter pick a Disney to watch technically includes Star Wars, everyone's a winner!
Playing all the Lego star wars games and battlefront original games with my brother so much fun
Dath Vader slicing'n'dicing in Rogue One !
Playing all the Lego star wars games and battlefront original games with my brother so much fun
That I didn't even know it was a movie franchise, possibly the biggest movie franchise until my parents bought the series on dvd for me. Just thought it was a legovideo game series when those games came out!
Dath Vader slicing'n'dicing in Rogue One !
My favourite star wars associated memory was playing 'star wars: the force unleashed' as a kid. Using the wii'motes and gestures for different abilities was amazing. :-)

Playing with my tiny Star Wars figurines in the garden. Wonder what happened to them :(
Went to every first session of the remastered in '97.
Dressed to the hilt,including the car.
Shuttle tybirium as the hood piece,a Vader helmet on the dash that would turn when cornering.
Saber battles in the aisle.........great times
Watching the original trilogy with my dad before going to opening night for episode one with him. He bought me my first lightsaber after that.
I was first owner of the best Star Wars themed number plate - STR WRS!
The pod racing from Episode 1, was out of control!
My favourite memory would have to be seeing Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace at the movies when I was a child, I was in love and obsessed with all of the ship designs and also.. Queen Amidala and her regal outfits! While I'm here, shout out to all the droids who lost their lives getting the Royal ship out of Naboo! Still makes a few tears flow.
The excitement of watching The Force Awakens at the cinema, & being absolutely heart broken by THAT scene.
My older sister told me that she learnt to speak wookie at university. She proved it by translating Chewbacca while watchiong Return of the Jedi with me. I was 7/8 years old and very impressed!
Totally blown away, as a teenager, with the idea of a future with hologram communications... and Princess Leia - hubba hubba
Playing star wars battlefront 2 on the PS2 with my little brother, and beating him at conquest mode every single time ?
I was playing a game of Star Wars Rebellion with a couple of friends and a massive space fight broke out over the skies of Mon Calamari. A Mon Calamari Cruiser was trading blows with a Star Destroyer while a number of smaller fighters were putting on a light show. Meanwhile nearby the Imperial’s mighty Death Star was preparing to wipe the planet out of existence. As the first round of combat concluded I had one surviving Y-wing and I revealed that I had in fact been waiting for this moment as I turned over the Death Star plans objective card. I rolled 3 dice and got the result I needed to blow up the Death Star. This gave me the necessary advantage I needed to go on and win the game. That imagery of the scene I witnessed while playing this board game will last with me forever, all bought to life by the magic that is the Star Wars universe.
I was in primary school when the first movie came out. Thought i was soooo grown up going to see star wars with the family. Chewie and r2d2 became etched in my childhood memories.
My favourite Star Wars memory is having lightsaber battles with my older brother. He had a green lightsaber and mine was red.
Trying to stay awake as a wee kid while Luke piloted his x-wing around the Death Star. I'll be honest, I didn't understand the magnitude of Stars Wars back then.
I remember seeing a part of a star wars movie the first time when I was with my mum when I was with her when we were babysitting at a friends place (I was still pretty young) I was initially playing Ski Free, died and then saw my mum watching star wars. Saw the Rancor fight scene from return of the Jedi and was hooked on Star Wars after that.
Binging all the Star Wars movies before going to see The Force Awakens with my best friend on opening day
My mother told me as a kid that i was named after Luke Skywalker. I remember how gutted I was when my twin brother told me that was just a line that mum told me to make me happy while I was watching the movies
As a young kid, I re-wound the Battle of Hoth over and over again on the Empire Striks Back VHS tape so much, that the tape stopped working after a while. The snow speeders were my favourite vehicle and I loved the winter clothing of the rebels. Not to forget the classic lines of "who's scruffy looking?", "laugh it up fuzzball", "I love you" / "I know", and of course the best plot twist known to man "No, I am your father".
My favourite memory was trying to win every level of star wars: x wing back on pc in 1993 after watching the movies. Me and my brother would take turns (fight) and pretend that we where the rebel commander. Great memories and amazing to see how the games have evolved since then!!
While I have lots of great memories from when I was a kid, my favorite memory is seeing my boys face light up at just seeing a star wars trailer at 3 years old... he was hooked instantly
watching the final fight between qui-gon and obi-wan vs darth maul in episode I: the phantom menace!!
Having the empire strikes back being one of three VHS tapes I watched repeatedly as a kid
Watching the first movie when i was 10 with my stepfather was awesome.
The many hours i out into starwars battlefront II on my ps2 with my friends
Coming home from school and my brother being so excited to show me the opening scene of a new hope as he had hooked up speakers for surround sound. 20 odds years later we can still bond over star wars
I remember absolutely marathoning as many movies as I could after going on the motion master at rainbows end (i thoight it was a star wars one, i could be absolutely wrong but it still got me into it anyway) when I was a kid. I thought it was the height of virtual reality and was so amazed. Ahhh childhood
My favorite memory was the battle of hoth in empire strikes back. Just incredible to watch the massive walkers fighting the speeders.
Kylo Ren, I think he is by far one of the best villains. Definitely my favorite.
Star wars marathons with my kids
As a girl growing up in the eighties I was never allowed Star Wars stuff only my brothers so I use to sneak into there room and play with lol I remember when I first got a job the first thing I brought was something Star Wars lol now at the age of 41 and both kids have left the nest I am doing up s three tonne truck as a Star Wars camper so this will be the perfect thing to go init

After watch episode, 4, 5 and 6 over and over again, its was awesome to go see episode 1 on the big screen, then they remastered to originals, so that was like watching 4, 5 and 6 for the first time again.
Honestly my favourite memory would have to be the first time I watched through all the original movies at my friend's sleepover when I was 10. Every time I hear R2D2 talk I'm instantly reminded of that nostalgic day :)
My favourite Star Wars memory is getting the Return of the Jedi cassette tape for Christmas. I listened to it over and over till I learnt every word! My middle girl, 10, now loves Star Wars as much as I do!
Introducing my son to star wars and seeing the him light up with excitement for the things that I grew up with (most things are usually considered too "old school" by him to be any good but star wars made the cut)
The first time a saw the storm trooper bang his head on the door in Star Wars IV - A new hope and I was able to point it out to all my friends.
Trying to watch as much of The Empire Strikes Back as a kid before going to school each day.
I remember my granddad, when I was about 7, told me we were going to watch this movie on TV. It ended up being A New Hope. I remember just getting lost it in the film and being completely sucked in. That began the obssession. I went home from my grandparent’s place asking my mum to get me a Luke Skywalker toy. I ended up getting the toy and still have it to this day, albeit saved in an attic for my kids.
Best memory is re-watching every single movie in story order rather than release order with my partner at the end of 2017 in preparation for the release of The Last Jedi!
My daughter was born on May 3 at 10pm. I was seriously considering asking my wife whether she could hold on for 2 more hours so that my girl could be born on international star wars day
Ep 3 .. beginning of Darth vader saga
Going and seeing screenings of the movies with my dad when I was young
Going To Revenge of The Sith I Still Love That Movie!
Seeing "A New Hope" at the cinema 5-10 times in 1977 when it was first released and every time just feeling awestruck when the star destroyer flies overhead during the opening space battle over Tattooine. Had never seen anything like it before.
I remember hosting our friends for a Star Wars marathon because we owned the bluray collection. It was a good geeky time with friends and I think we did back to the future next. :D
Loved playing Star Wars battlefront 2 on the PS2 with friends, it was a great game would love to try the new Star Wars battlefront 2 game.
starwars movie marathon with my family
My favourite memory is when I unknowingly wore my Darth Vader shirt to uni and was really baffled as I had all these people staring at me all day... little did I know it was MAY THE FOURTH!! Star Wars fans are everywhere!
Biggest memory to date would be taking my kids when they were babies to dream world in australia for may the fourth be with you and we done up the buggy as a x wing lol was just a bunch of cardboard boxes but was great haha
My favourite Star Wars memory was debating with my father that Star Wars and Star Trek are two COMPLETELY different franchises, and that they are not the American and European equivalent to one another.
You know what, actually my best memory was walking into the theatre in Wellington in 1977 to actually watch the first movie (episode 4). And also, not long afterwards my dad got me the soundtrack on 12" LP. I'm not sure where that record got to though... but I've watched everything since, including the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi at original theatre release, and have almost all of them on BluRay now so all is well in the Universe! :)
Playing with the original star wars models back in the late 70's in the garden when they had the push out plastic light sabre's in the arm of the models ;-)
So many great family memories. Seeing Star Wars and Empire back to back with my dad. Seeing The Force Awakens at midnight only a few weeks after my son was born (I didn't take him). Seeing The Last Jedi with my mum and both loving it.
My new favourite is a recent one. I never realised just how much of a fan I was until The Force Awakens, when the Millennium Falcon bursts back into life after years of neglect. Genuinely overwhelmed. Shed a tear, even.
Apparently metaphors for my childhood really get me in the feels.
Watching the Star Wars box set that I got when I was 9, then going out and buying every little Star Wars thing I could find with the limited pocket money I had.
I brought a second hand R2D2 toy from a garage sale and took it home. Stuck some batteries and turned it on. R2D2 started beeping and moving around and my two daughters came running, wondering what was going on. They played with the toy for a good hour. It gave me a new hope that I could convert them to the light side and sit them down to watch all the movies with me.
My favourite memory was back in the 80's going to the video store and being able to get out "Return of the Jedi" out. Watching it over and over again. Loved the characters and great classic scenes. Being a big fan of Star Wars I'm so happy my kids get to grow up with Star Wars too. "May the force be with you"!
Having my mind blown after reluctantly watching the force awakens.
Having my father take me to see revenge of the sith when he hates starwars.
Finding the old video tapes of the first movies and re watching them now is a blast from the past.
Watching the movies for the very first time.

I think my favorite memory of Star Wars was when the force awakens was released, me and my mates went to a midnight screening of it I had been waiting for a new Star Wars film to be released for a very long time, as soon as the Star Wars logo appeared on screen with the iconic theme song I had tears rolling down my face it was a truly apraxia moment
In revenge of the Sith when Anakin finds out he killed padma. Because I knew that terrible cheese relationship had finally been put to rest.
My Favorite memory. Would have to be playing Star Wars Battlefront (The Original) on my friends Xbox (Original). Playing 4 player split screen, And eliminating all the Gungans we could find as the Separatists on Naboo.
My favourite memory is every Christmas holiday we would be given $50 to go and get anything we wanted. Always ended up getting some Star Wars Lego or Star Wars toy and playing with it the whole way home, and on and on.
Playing Lego star wars on Nintendo DSI all night long with the bro
I was 8 years old and very excited when my Dad took me into Auckland city to see The Empire Strikes Back when it first came out. As we left the cinema after the film I vividly remember being upset and arguing with my Dad that Darth Vader was lying to Luke when he said he was his father. The truth hurt too much.

The midwife handing me my son and the first words I said to him.... "Happy birthday my son, may the force be with you".
And no he's not named Luke lol.
Moving to a new school and making friends through a mutual love for the movies - playing Star Wars at lunch time and naively looking forward to Ep 1.
We used to have all of the movie's recorded on VHS when I was a kid. I would watch them religiously. Also playing the original SWBF on PC & PS2!
Best Memory would be playing the first proper set of games on PlayStation 2. Would love to give the newer games on a PS4 a go though if I’m lucky enough to win :)
Watching my young nephew playing with all my old star wars toys, and having just as much fun as I did!
24 hours non stop binge watch of all 7 episodes (and Rogue 1) before the new movie came out
My favourite memory associated with Star Wars believe it or not was my wedding day, my husband pretty much only had one job to do for the wedding which was to organise the walk-in, (he is a huge Star Wars fan) so he ended up organising a Star Wars themed walk-in complete with: Star Wars theme music for the bridal party to walk-in to which changed to Darth vaders theme music when he walked in. There was also glowing lightsabers, smoke machines, fog and lasers. It was awesome! It definitely surprised everyone and has been talked about for years by the guests as the most memorable wedding they've been to.
Watching the Empire Strikes Back at my childhood home on VHS with my Parents and Brother.
Meeting my now-boyfriend before we dated and bonding over my liking and his Love (intentional capital) of Star Wars. I could very easily listen to him tell me lore from all forms of Star Wars media for days- it's sort of what kicked us off
Probably seeing the remasters in cinemas couldn't beat the picture quality and sound of the cinema in the 90s
I remember as a kid that we would stay up late and wait for the parents to go to bed. We would then set up a star wars lair and watch the movies
Getting to Meet George Lucas in Queenstown
My dad taking me to see the re-release of the original in theatres!
I remember going to a cousin's birthday that was Star Wars themed and I went as Jar jar Binks. Had a mask and everything. Best party.
I loved the ewoks in Return of the Jedi and also seeing Yoda go nuts when fighting
Seeing the original Star Wars movie on the big screen when it was released... a truly amazing experience at the time!
For my 10th birthday my Mum made me a Darth Vader head cake, it was amazing!
Jamming Star Wars Episode One: Pod Racer on our old Windows ME computer!!!
Building X-Wings out of Lego as a kid. With regular blocks before there was a Lego version of everything.
And, ***SPOILER ALERT***
Finding out Darth Vader was Luke's father. Blew my mind.
Aside from having actually met a few of the actors (Mark Hamill is so nice!), my favourite memory is finding out that there were actually 3 movies (at the time). Up until then I had only every seen Return of the Jedi & then my older sister had a Harrison Ford night where she watched 3 x Indiana Jones & 3 x Star Wars! Needless to say my mind was blown!
I remember watching the original Star Wars episodes IV, V, and VI on TV back in 95. If I can remember correctly, TV2 or TV3 had a Star Wars marathon. That was the first time I watched Star Wars from beginning to end non stop. I was only 12 at the time.
IDK it is a toss up between the darth vader tattoo i have or spending hours building lego spaceships and recreating my favourite moments as a kid
My favourite memory was goingt o watch Episode 4 remastered in the cinemas as a kid with mny friends and getting my mind blown by the awesome x-wings
I remember going to see all the original movies play back to back. My mates and I would go as offen as possible. It was awesome
Dressing up as Darth Maul for book week when I was young! Everyone laughed at the jelly cups taped to my head used as horns, but I won best dressed!
Darth Maul still remains my favourite character and I loved his reintroduction in the animated series!
Going around to my friend's place in the mid 80's to play with his Star Wars toys after school. Good times!
Going to the cinema with my parents every time one of the films came out!

Playing the old Kotor games over and over for a year straight ?
Playing the old Kotor games over and over for a year straight ?
I never knew my Uncle, but he was a giant nerd. Recently my parents and I went through their record collection, and tucked away in there was the OST for the Empire Strikes back. I never knew him but we'd have had a lot in common. I treasure these things that used to belong to him and they make me as happy as they do sad.
My favorite star wars memory was playing the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 with mates after school and in the weekends.
watching the original trilogy with my nan when i was only about five for the first time ever.! Ive watched every movie a million times since and can still remember the awe that first time with nan.
My most fond memory, was back when i was 9, I didnt have a playstation yet but my best friend got one and a copy of Star Wars Episode 1: Racer. I remember going to school and thinking about playing it every day and then going to his house after school and melting our brains with it. So many good memories. And then the same thing with Star Wars Battlefront on PS2, multiplayer on Hoth was so good!!
First marathon I had with my gf maybe 10 years ago. Rainy day, junk food in bed type of thing. Best date ever lol.
When I was 8 i got a toy lightsaber for Christmas and I waited all day for it to get dark, then at night i went outside and swung it around for hours
Playing the orginal Battlefront II on PS2 with a mate. So coooool! :)
Watching TLJ with my 5 year old son at the cinema. And him being just as excited as i was. My indoctrination is complete.
When my Dad who has asthma always quotes the "Luke. . -takes breath with inhaler- ..I am your father" and then I glance at my Mum and ask her if she's sure
Playing Star Wars Pod Racer on N64 to completion in one sitting. Flipping my pod on its edge just like Anakin to squeeze through the caves.
Favourite memory is when my son got the Lego Star Wars Pods and enjoyed building them
My favourite memory of Star wars is one of my earliest memories which is watching the original trilogy boxset on VHS with my parents back in about 1998!
building the millenium falcon form lego after wanting it for so many years!!!!
Watching the original six films in a row with mates back in 2008.
Watching Obi Wan kill General Grievous ?
Cosplaying as Obi-wan Kenobi and watching Star Wars together with my buddies, waving our LIGHTSABERS and saying May the FORCE be with you!
This scene.
Luke I am your father
Best memory was watching Star Wars – A New Hope for the first with my parents when I was a kid. Blew my mind. Wanted my own lightsaber from that point on.
My ewok teddy bear love it wish i still had it
Watching the movies with my daughters. Also going to see Starwars live in concert with one of them. ☺
those moments as a kid when i went to the moves with my dad, it was those bonding moments that i truely enjoyed because he worked away from home. If i become a father then i would love to have a bond like this with my child :3 good luck all
Loved all the movies, but favorite Star Wars memories were playing Jedi Outcast
Star Wars Lego sets were amazing when I was growing up! I had this big set which came with an electric motor and you could build an AT-AT and like 5 different droids which actually moved.
Watching the original trilogy for the first time!
I remember as a kid all my friends being obsessed with star wars, but never really understanding it myself until about year 5 where I eventually watched all the movies from 1 through till 6. From then on out we'd always bring Lego to school and play with it, me using just standard Lego to make my ships since i couldn't afford the star wars official Lego sets at the time.. That'd have to be my best memory.
My favourite memory involving Star Wars is when we did a weekend marathon of the Star Wars movies (1-3, Rogue One, 4-7) in preparation for The Last Jedi. This was closely tired with Finishing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2

Going to see Return of the Jedi with my Grandmother at Mid City in Auckland. She had no interest in it in the slightest but she loved us kids so much that she'd sit through any silly movie we wanted to see.
Favourite memory? How about most drilled in? Hearing the misquoted "Luke, I am your father," my whole life...
having 'lightsaber' battles with my cousins in the park
My epic lego star wars set i got for my birthday after seeing star wars at the movies
Taking the kids to see their first Star Wars movie at the cinema (The Force Awakens) after years of watching the old ones, playing the video games and building Star Wars Lego.
Favourite memory must be watching all the Star Wars in chronological order with my youth boys! Such a good memory!
My memories are all new, our 5 year olds interest has encouraged us to start watching the movies and get really excited about star wars! We have family movie night every friday and watch the next star wars - they are awesome!!
It brings back the memory of the hugest smile on my stepsons face when he went to the The Force Awakens with his Dad. They have now watched all the movies and played battlefront together. I love watching his face light up and hearing about all the new things he has learnt by watching movies and researching star wars online
My favourite memory was when my brother brung back the original battleground 2 and me and him would play it for hours. Loved playing as the droids, such blissful times
We used to have the original trilogy on VHS. We used to watch all three movies at least once every school holidays - I thought everyone did it! I've recently just started watching them with my four year old nephew, helping to raise him right.
I had a Darth Vader costume when I was a kid and loved running around in it. I was just a plastic mask with a vinyl like, long body costume that you had to put on like a jersey. Also had a lightsaber that had vents in it so when you swung it around, it made a sound like the lightsabers in the Star Wars movies. In the end it ripped because I got too big for it.
Going to see Episode IV and V back to back when I was 7 years old...
As a kid we had no TV but i did have a starwars pillowcase. Had all the characters in a painterly style - i spent alot of time looking at the pillow imagining how fights would go
My favourite Star Wars memory is as a kid finally going to Return of the Jedi at the movie theatre a week after I got the audio cassette tape of the movie. We lived in the country at the time and I had memorised the whole cassette tape by the time we had a chance to "head in to town".
Actually seeing the movie on the big screen was amazing.
Poster on my wall showing small Rebel Alliance ships such as B-Wing, X-Wing, A-Wing, Y-Wing and the Snow speeder and ofc the good ol’ Millenium Falcon ?
I remember watching the first movie as a kid and getting worried they were all going to be squashed in the trash compactor with that snake thing
My favourite Star Wars memory is watching the movie at home with my dad as a kid and gaining a love for Star Wars. I always think of Jubba the Hutt being the weirdest thing I’ve seen.
Seeing episode iv at the local cinema and being blown away by it as never seen anything like it before
Watching it with my dad when i was younger. Thought it was great especially bonding with my father when he was bed ridden
My son watching star wars and falling in love with the movie
My dad got me this Star wars Poster as a kid and it had Darth Vader on it which looked awesome! One night I had a nightmare and Darth Vader in the poster started moving and breathing. I probably shat the bed. I got dad to take it down and to this day they still take the piss of me by breathing like Darth Vader
Dammit... misread the question I thought it said “how do i associate with star wars” so soz for double entry... the duel between Qui gon and Obi Wan vs Darth Maul
My favorite StarWars memory was back when I was little playing starwars battlerfront 2 for hours on end (probably close to 1000 hours!). That game was the start of a lifelong passion for StarWars and all things sci-fi. Would really love the opportunity to try the new battlefront as I've been wanting it for months but just don't have the money for a playstation at this point in life :(
My favorite memory was the last time i was able to go see a movie with my dad, went to see the force awakened, was an amazing time.
Playing the original on my cousins Ps2 together
starwars with nerf guns and toy lightsabers with my siblings when we were kids
It was the first movie I saw as a little kid and the first time my Dad took me to the movies, just me and him.
My favourite memory is as a kid going over to my friends house and playing the OG Star Battlefront games. Endless hours of fun and if i could go back and experience it again, id do it in a heartbeat
Watching the first trilogy as a kid, and playing with star wars lego ? Thanks moghty aoe!
Watching Battle of Endor over and over as a kid! I loved that movie so much!
Best memory was when I tunred 13 years old and was finally allowed to watch Star Wars 3! I felt so grown up :)
Watching the first trilogy as a kid, and playing with star wars lego ? Thanks mighty ape!
Going to all of the Special Edition releases at the theatre for midnight showings and the thrill of finally getting to see the opening crawl on the big screen.
My favourite Star Wars memory is watching episode 6 as a kid in primary school after being stung by a bee.
I was so excited and engaged in watching Star Wars, that I didn't realize I was having a bad allergic reaction.
I remember crying because I was being sent home and I wanted to stay to finish the movie.
When channels 2 and 3 used to play the original trilogy over three weeks, I never missed it until I figured out how to record over VHS tapes.
Watching the battle of Hoth for the first time as a kid, and as an adult spotting the storm trooper blooper where one knocks their head on a door.

Going to a friends house for Star Wars movie night.
My favourite Star wars memory still continues on to this day, and its that I get to 'geek' out wiith my mum everytime a new film is released or they remaster an original. We're both super fans with movie posters, metal earth projects and movies all over the place.

When I was 11 and sitting in the theatre for some movie I do not remember. What I do remember is seeing a trailer for Star Wars Episode II randomly popped up. As soon as the theme blasted over the theatre speaker I jumped out of my seat and just stared at the screen until the trailer was over. I then remember excitedly turning to my folks and exclaiming about how cool it looked :) (The prequels where good to me as a kid, I loved them!)
When they remastered the original trilogy and getting to see them at the movies
Having mock lightsaber battles as a kid.
The first ever time I got to play a LEGO game was LEGO Star Wars (the original one!) on PC. Grew into a bit of an obsession over the course of 13 years in the hunt to own every LEGO game ever created... (and I'm 21!)
The return of the Jedi duvet cover, my brothers gave me!
My favourite memory was when my family and I sat down and watched all the original movies in a single day
watching Starwars Episode IV on video tape at my nana's back in the 80's
My Darth maul chair I had as a kid. Still my favorite character
Whenever it came on TV as kids, my brother and I would get to stay up late to watch it!
Back when my (now) partner and I had not long meet. He hadn't seen Star Wars (much to my horror! But he was familiar with the some of the characters) So I put the Phantom Menace on. He turns to me and says (briefly forgetting who this character was) "will you be my Jabba the hutt?" I just looked at him blank faced - trying to hold back my laughter. He'd relised his mistake and started apologising a lot. We've now been together almost 3 years and have a baby on the way ?
As a kid, seeing the ewoks fight was very awesome
Feeling like an absolute badass tearing it up on Star Wars: Force Unleashed

Best memory is the most recent when I saw The Last Jedi at the imax3d up in Auckland. Really awesome experience.
Going to opening night of the last jedi. Was such a buzz. Everyone was hyped up and cant beat it on the xtreme screen at silva park. Such a great movie.

Seeing the phantom menace as a kid with my dad
Mine was an a t and t vehicle for Christmas played with it for years. Wish I still had it worth a small fortune now I believe.
Watching a new hope for the first time as a kid while holding a nerf gun.
My best memory of Starwars was when my parents hired it for me to watch when I broke my arm when I was 6 years old
Driving 2 hours to see episode 1 on release date with my brother. Loved the atmosphere and the movie after nearly 20 odd years still love the atmosphere the movie not so much.
Watching the original trilogy as a kid, having the scene where Luke gets disarmed by Vader burned into my memory, then watching the prequel trilogy, and now the latest movies... It's like I grew up with Star Wars, and it'll be a sad day when it all ends.
Sitting with my sister in the dark with star wars movie playing when we were kids and loving the ewoks
Having my boys watch it for the first time and love it as much as I do!!!!
My favourite memory is taking my son, who was 9, to see the midnight viewing of the force awakens at the movies in 2015. So exciting, and so many people were dressed up in star wars outfits. Good times
I always remembered star wars episode 1 from when i was young and me and my cousin had it on VHS there were certain parts he mocked (surprizingly enough they became memes ?) but he would alway rewind that part over9000 times. Probably my favourite memory was the same cousin threw a tantrum when he wanted jumping boots like the jedi when his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday ? a part of me wanted them to be real too ?
I was about 11yrs old & went to drive in theatre with my oldest brother & watched the original Star Wars, I drank a flaggon of port & still watched the whole show & went home & faced parents. They were the days of good supervision.
Watching the movies for the first time ever just a couple of years ago, and enjoying everything about it since.
Hanging out with the 501 legion at Wellington Armageddon with my daughter who is crazy about Star Wars and was representing the galactic academy.

Jamming the old battlefront 2 on ps2 ?
My favourite Star Wars memory was from when I was 10 or 11 years old at a friends birthday party. We crowded in his lounge drinking coca-cola and playing Marvel vs Street Fighter on his mod-chipped Playstation, which then led to watching the beginning of Blade before we were hurried into his family's van. A quick stop at the local KFC to load up on healthy food (not...) and abuse their free refill policy to fill up bottles for the movie and then we were off!
It was my first proper experience of Star Wars and I'll never forget it. Darth Maul was so cool, podracing was the bomb, and I really wanted to get that sweet braid Obi-Wan rocked, but I also couldn't wait to get home to see the movie about the bad ass vampire killer.
My best memory with star war is back when I use to sit down an watch it with my entire family.
The Lego Star wars demo on the PC at a friend's house, we got a lot of playtime out of one level
I remember the excitement of waiting outside the cinema's on Queen Street holding mum's hand when she took me to see the original "Star Wars" in the late 70's - When you're like 7 yrs old and you never saw anything like this before (robots, aliens and spaceships) back in the 70's... Its only then that you realise just how much of an old fart you are right now. :D
Going to see the empire strikes back at the cinema with my dad when I was little. First Star Wars experience.
My birthday is today “may the fourth” and for one of my birthdays we all went to see the very first showing of star wars and it changed my life, I was totally in awe and I’m still the biggest fan ever
Mine was playing the starwars racing game on my XP pc back in the day when I didnt know what a graphics card was Haha. Me and the bros would jam that for hours.
Looking up at the stars after every Star Wars movie I watch in cinemas. Always draws out the young kid in me!
Bringing my kitten home and deciding to name him Yoda thanks to his big ears and doing everything backwards ???
When i was younger, my dad took me to see all the prequels! i was obsessed, had to have everything starwars. ever since then, we've always made sure to watch the movies together and go see them. if it wasn't for my dad, i don't think id of been this obsessed with star wars growing up. so whenever i see anything star wars its always nostalgic and reminds me of my dad and makes me happy. thanks peepaw.
Watching the original trilogy with my son for the first time, he now walks around the house constantly humming the imperial march, and loves his mums leia and ewok tattoos
I love the Hoth battle from Empire strikes back......seeing those Huge walkers in the distance and of course Darth Vaders father was awesome .such a great movie !!!
Back when I was a young kid in the mid 80s, we had an ex-rental copy of Return of the Jedi on VCR. I remember loving the speeder bike chase through the forest and the ewoks killing off the AT-ST's with log traps.
Would be seeing the look on my fiance's face when I told her I hadn't seen it and the smile she had when she said we were going to cuddle up and watch them all, great movies love them now thanks to her
I remember the old Star Wars Episode I: Racer game on Nintendo 64. That game was awesome :)
My Fave memory was watching Episode 1 for the first time, and dying inside when Qui-Gon died at the end. :(
Definitely Building a Cardboard X-Wing at home and running around with it. Were great memories indeed.
My favorite memory is first watching A New Hope when I was a little kid with my Dad. I'd never seen anything like it and it spawned not only a love of Star Wars, but movies in general. I'm now busting out all my old toys for my 3 year old son and can't wait to sit down an show him the movies and start a new generation of fan!
Star wars is the one movie my family always went to together no matter what was going on in our lives it was great
5 years old when I saw it at the cinema in 1977. When the lights went down I started crying and didn’t stop until DARTH VADER CAME THROUGH THE SMOKE. Then I SHUT THE HELL UP for the rest of the movie. Those two hours changed my life!
First time I saw and heard jar jar binks lol the true star of star wars lol
Sitting down with both my padawans (son, 7 & daughter, 10) and watching all the movies and watch them fall in love with SW as much as me! (their Jedi Master).
Walking them thru the SW world, explaining who is good, bad etc
Also having them desperate to go see Solo
sitting down with my best friend (dog) after school watching the clone wars series that was on cartoon network, watching her fall asleep on me. she recently past away and i cant watching them again because she isnt around. RIP nelly-benelly ,never forgotten
I was about 9 years old when I first watched star wars. They were doing a late night marathon of all the star wars films (revenge of the sith had recently come out) on TV. I was allowed to stay up and watch it and I was really into it but it was way past my bedtime and I couldn’t stay awake. I would keep waking up in my bedroom, where my dad would take me every time I fell asleep, and then would stubbornly return to the lounge to continue watching, only to fall asleep 20 minutes later and be returned to my room. It was a cycle.
My best memory of Star Wars was the first time I watched episode IV "A New Hope" at the cinema. The enormity of it just blew me away, after that experience, I just day dreamed about having Jedi powers and weilding a light sabre! Such an awesome time to be a kid :-)
Building Star Wars lego with my Dad before he passed. It was our favourite shared activity.
When i was younger i had a book & tape combo so even when i wasnt watchjng the movie over and over again i could read it before bed and listen along with the tape. Now im eyeing up star wars tattoos and going to every midnight screening i can!
When I was very young I had a read-along Star Wars tape. It signalled time to turn the page with R2D2 beeping.
I remember playing Starwars Battlefront 2 on the original xbox and the amount of fun that was
Watching episode 4/5 and 6 back to back on vhs when i was 6 or 7 whilst id play with my milliennium falcon in the late eighties! Still a massive Star Wars fan and practising Jedi.
I first saw star wars as a kid I liked when Darth Vader says to Luke he is his father in empire strikes back

When the cinema replayed all the older movies. I was only little but remember going along with my family and wanting an ewok haha
Growing up watching all the Star Wars films with my Dad then finally going to see Episode 3 in theaters! It was such an amazing experience seeing a Star Wars film on the big screen for the first time
Seeing Star Wars when I was a kid and loving Jabba the Hutt!

Watching the Return of the Jedi in my Uncles private home theatre on Laserdisc... i missed the movies in the cinemas so it was my first in theatre experience with Star Wars and it did not disappoint!
Going to the re release of a new hope with my father as a child. It ignited my love of the series and I've gone to every movie with my father since!

Star Wars Exhibiiton at Discovery Times Square New York City; the only time I got close to all the characters
When i got my first smartphone the first app i downloaded was the light saber app and then proceeded to run around the house with a stick sabering everything and everyone.
When I saw Star Wars the Force Awakens and came out feeling like an over-excited 8 year old all over again.
Watching episodes 4 - 6 with my dad and brother when we were kids, got so hyped.
Seeing Han shoot first.
Loved Star Wars since I’ve been little and one of the best memories was when I had a sulk my Aunty gave me the nickname Obi-Wan Kinobody and has stuck since ?
my 4 year old, standing on the edge of the couch in rapt excitement during the battle of yavin 4 in a new hope.
followed by fist pumps and high fives as the death star blew up.
I might have even shed a proud tear.
Would have to be years ago when I was a youngster and sneaking out of bed (when I was supposed to be asleep) to hide behind the couch and watch the original Star Wars when it was on TV, while my Dad was watching it. I probably got a good 30-40 minutes viewed before I got busted but it was worth it!
It was 1978, I was 4 years old & the whole family watched it in the Civic Theatre in Auckland. I also lost my cardigan in there that night :)
Its the first movie series me and my wife watched together. Always have a very special place in our hearts now.
My favorite Star Wars moment was becoming a ID-27881, an official 501st legion member in 2013, and seeing the good that Star Wars can do in others lives. I now have a collection of Six movie accurate imperial costumes, officer, tie pilot, snowtrooper, gunner etc. to live out the motto of "bad guys doing good". I've always been a fan, but for the past 5 years, since becoming a memner, It has enabled me to help fund raise tens of thousands of $ for deserving charities Like Child Cancer Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, and attend awesome events like the Special Childrens Christmas Party. At the end of the day everyone has a memory associated with star wars, and my goal is to help make new awesome memories with costumed appearances, and made kids (and adults) smile :-)
Having a R2-D2 blow up chair as kids, it was the best thing ever, and collecting the star wars episode one movie cards out of cereal boxes
Watching it from the very start with my Dad - kinda forced to initially then it grew on me!
Star Wars Episode IV was the first movie I ever saw an the cinema - life was never quite the same again for an impressionable 9 year old who dreamed of space ever since!
Loved playing star wars lego with my daughter we spent a lot of time together and had lots of fun. I also enjoyed watching the Empire and Strikes Back and Padawan Menance movies as they were really funny.
Always watching the original movies as a kid at Christmas time.
I liked it when I saw Kylo Rens abs!
Yub nub! Where do I start. Luging as Star Wars characters was memorable - close to super bombad racing - I'd do it again! Building storm-trooper outfits from scratch.
Star Wars CCG, TCG and LCG. Breaking a finger lightsaber bashing... We would play Star Wars Jedi Outcast Multiplayer at school (12 of us in the computer room at lunch). I found a hack that could let you imperceptibly (no one but you could see it) extend the blade number and length allowing for kills through walls - instant and spawn kills. Yeah, it kind of killed the game for awhile but everyone was in hysterics when they found out. Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds... The Age of Empires of Star Wars - training Sith and hording AT-ATs. The Phantom Menace for PC took me 2 years to complete as I could never make the jump on the power platforms on Naboo. Battlefront has always been a great party game. Star Wars Galaxies wondering aimlessly through space searching for new missions. But by far the best memory of all - Knights of the Old Republic - the comics and game - when I think Star Wars I think expanded universe... Star Wars is more than just the stories.
The going to see the original trilogy as a triple feature. It was the first time I’d ever watched more than one film in one sitting. My first experience of what would be the norm some 30 years later; thanks to Netflix!
Going to the movie theature with my dad to watch the force awakens, its was amazing seeing his child like excitement as he had been in love with the Star Wars universe for nearly 40 years.
Watching Star wars with my dad. He got me into Star wars as a kid and have been hooked ever since
Fighting my brother with toy lightsabers after watching the phantom manace
Not being allowed to watch Harry Potter or anything magical so falling in love with the Star Wars universe and becoming a super-fan!
When I was a kick and saw Empire (my first) the huge AT-AT across Hoth blew me away, and then seeing the Lightsaber! Wow.
Made all my Lego dudes into little Jedi after that.

Watching Revenge of the Sith with our son and seeing his face when Anakin becomes Darth Vader and Darth Vader is still his favourite character.
Watching on TV one night and loved it, quickly bought and wore out the original trilogy on VHS and it was the beginning of a life-long love of Sci-fi.
It would have to be playing with my Star Wars micro machines, I loved those things when I was little and wanted all of them. I had an Obi Wan Kenobi that I had lost while playing outside and one day found what was left of him after a intense battle with the lawnmower. Safe to say his training had not prepared him for that one and now I just have his legs to remind me of that unfortunate day :(.
Strangely enough it has to be the Pod-racing game on PS1. most Star wars stuff is awesome but I remember having such a good time with my friends playing it
My favourite memory would be when I was little having epic lightsaber battles with glowsticks that broke and turned my friend into a yoda lookalike
1977. The original screenings (when there was still an intermission - and I remember where it came in the film). It wasn't the movie I originally wanted to see, but it ended up changing my perspective forever
Any day I was sick and stayed home from school I put in the old Star Wars tape, laid back on the couch and drank Ribena... to be fair if I was really sick I slept through most of it but woke up at about "use the force Luke"
Watching A New Hope for the first time on a film projector at Parau Bay camping ground when I was 8
My son's reactions when he sees anything involving Chewbacca
I remember in primary when we were 10 and we would always play Star Wars and bicker about who killed who. The best person to play was R2-D2 ;) Falling instantly in love with chewy who looked just like my neighbours dog!
Watching episode V for the first time and asking my dad whether Luke was trying to get his hand back after he lost it.
Both my parents love star wars. When they separated I used to watch the movies twice just so I could see their fave movies ?
Most likely watching it with my older brother when I was like 6 so awesome remember thinking it was so realistic and thay were actually in space loved droids that was 30 years ago as iam ? 36 now
Just seeing the new Star Wars movies every year with my dad and brother.
Just seeing the new Star Wars movies every year with my dad and brother.
The Stromtrooper head banging blooper
As a kid lightsaber fights were pretty much the coolest things in the world
My favourite memory is taking my son to buy the first 6 movies and watching them all in a weekend, he is now a big Star Wars fan!
"I am your father"
Introducing my sons to the star wars universe first through the animated clone wars series then the original movies
Seeing the Clone Wars at embassy theatre in Wellington as a kid, and as Yoda walks in to fight Count Dooku, my friend said "Yoda!!" really loudly and the whole cinema burst out laughing
My favourite Star Wars related memory would have to be back in 2005 when me and my friends had a full day marathon of episodes 4,5,6,1 and 2 and then went and saw Revenge of the Sith the next day. We were all tired from the day before but it was worth it. We all went and saw The Last Jedi together in December as well!
Playing the first and true version of Star Wars Battlefront on the PS2 by Pandemic. Definitely my favourite moments came from this game especially trying to figure out how to defeat jedi/sith in galactic conquest when they were immortal. Had a blast using grenades on bespin platforms to make them jump off into the clouds below.
A photo of myself, my brother and my mother in the Evening Post coming out of Retrun of the Jedi.
My best memory was when I first got into star wars, I remember when I was really young, maybe 6 or 7 when I was snooping through my Uncles VHS collection and I came across star wars (the original), I had heard of it but at that time did not know much about it. So I stole it from his collection and watched it so many times that I am amazed the VCR did not end up eating the tape. It only got better when I saw Empire and Jedi and it has been an epic journey ever since.
Introducing my kids to the films their first time -- in the correct sequence [4,5,2,3,6!!!!] great movies, family time, memories for them!
My favourite star wars memory is playing star wars battlefront 2 on ps2 with my cousins!
Playing Star Wars Battlefront II on the PlayStation 2 with my brother and cousin almost every morning during one set of school holidays for a giant sleep over. 10/10 would childhood again
Playing Star Wars Battlefront II on the PlayStation 2 with my brother and cousin almost every morning during one set of school holidays for a giant sleep over. 10/10 would childhood again
I still remember playing Star Wars: Rogue Squadron as a kid on my parents Windows 98 SE desktop computer. One of the games that started my interest in PC gaming and the Star Wars movies. Man those were the days.
It's the first movie I remember seeing with my family
My whole childhood and teen life, basically.
I have been a massive fan of Star Wars for as long as I can remember. The original trilogy are the first movies I can actually remember REALLY enjoying to the point that I would watch them over and over. Almost every day. Star Wars shaped so many things about me.
It showed me the fight between good an evil, and that almost anyone can be redeemed in one way or another (Han, Lando, Vader). It showed me adventure and whimsey. It showed me that an idea could be more than the sum of its parts, as well as that you can triumph even with the odds stacked heavily against you with a lot of hard work (and a bit of luck).
I had Star Wars everything. It was a massive part of my crircle of friends and of my family. We made fan movies, discussed expanded universe plot points. Hypothesised what happend after Jedi, and saw what came before Hope.
The most memorable part of Star Wars for me was everything about it, because some of my happiest memories growing up involve Star Wars in one way or another.
It's the first time watching A New Hope with my Dad... and then being able to watch it with my boy... and be just as excited as he is.
Watching on the old tv set we used to have
I remember seeing the first Star wars movie back in 1977 when I was 11. It had a huge impact on me and its now great to see my own 11 year old son taking to Star Wars the same way. So my favorite memory is the look on my sons face when he watched his first star wars movie. I will never forget it.
My finace thought I was a geek for loving Star Wars. I made her sit through the first 6 of the saga and she became hooked. We watched the new films together and she texted me this morning wanting to go see Solo. Shes a keeper, May the 4th be with you too.
People in our village back in the Island gathering to this one house to watch Star war when star war arrives In the Island best movie ever.
My dad sitting me down when I was like 8 and the two of us watching the original trilogy over the course of a weekend
Watching the original movies with my late uncle when i was about 10 years old. I remember he used to get so passionate about them. I hope to pass that same Star Wars enthusiasm onto my son.

Star Wars had quite a presence in my childhood - action figures and the old movies and being the right age to enjoy the prequels... I really remember playing Jedi Knight II at a friend's place (90's big-box PC game with giant embossed logo, no digital downloads back then) - wielding the force and a lightsaber felt and looked amazing. Even better was using the dev console to turn on saber-realistic-combat so the Stormtroopers would lose limbs and hobble around briefly like a Monty Python knight.
Editing a movie poster of Episode 2 and super-imposing my face on Anakin's, besides Padme, back when Photoshop was not yet cool; and then accidentally leaving a JPEG copy in one of the school lab's PC's, and thereby becoming the default wallpaper of all the PCs inside the lab.
First memory Aged 6 Seeing Empire Strikes Back, back when it first came out and just before the intermission and ice cream is thrown from the circle seating that hits Han Solo in the forehead. Movie carried on without comment as everyone is so enthralled .Man with ladder has to come and remove it during the intermission.
Definitely my favourite was last year at the Armageddon Expo in Auckland. I took my daughter dressed as Rey and I was dressed as Poe Dameron. Doing that with her was really special. She loves Star Wars (Rey in particular) and it’s become such a method of bonding between the two of us to the point I call her my little Padawan. Tonight we are going to the Stardome’s May the fourth event with her as Rey, me as old Luke and my wife as a rebel pilot. Can’t wait for this and the many more family Star Wars memories to come :))))
Seeing the Jedi Strikes back in a cinema when I was young. It was so real! Now we have marathons with our kids
Dressing up for the star wars force awakens premiere. This was the first star wars movie I had seen at the movies, the experience and atmosphere was amazing!! Im obssessed with star wars now!
Being about 4, seeing star wars for the first time in the movies and being torn between the awesome lasers and effects, and the thearte being too loud for young me. So hard to pick between scary loud noise and pretty space fight at 4
skipping my school formal after party so I could watch Empire on tv that night
Seeing Phantom Menace on the release date while on holiday in Canada was amazing for a 10 year old me. It was a magical moment. Unlike most people, I actually loved the film, and still love it now!
The many hours spent playing KOTOR several times through on original xbox when I was a kid.
Getting the wife to dress up like Princess Leia (from Return of the Jedi).
Arriving at our new home for the first time and my bed was decked out with a Darth Vader duvet and pillow and a lightsaber sitting next to it.
My brothers and I getting different coloured lightsabers for one christmas, and all of us having an epic battle!!!!
Singapore 1984 sat morning watching Star wars with my dad on vhs!
My favorite memories is my son dressed up as Darth Vader going to kindy and refusing to take off his helmet for the entire day. He's a huge fan. Watchs all the movies, loves his lego star wars games. Would absolutely love to win this for his 10th birthday. He's desperate to try VR, so this would be amazing.
Jedi force is very interesting when I watched Star Wars: episode 4 first time for 20 years.
When I was a kid and asked my mom to buy me a Lightsaber and she said "NO", but I love you mom.
When darth vader appears in star wars rouge one

My favourite memory is the hours and hours I spent playing the original starwars battlefront at the local internet cafe with friends, those were the days!
My star wars memory Is sitting with mates and watching all movies back to back
My favorite memory was watching Empire Strikes Back with my Dad. I was so young then that I didn't even understand the story. I'm just enjoying the action. So when Darth Vader said his big reveal, I was clueless as to what was going on. But one thing I remember, I was a Star Wars fan since then.
Getting and building the millennium falcon model after watching the empire strikes back that same day. The Star Wars resonated continually for weeks during that project and the hype was insane and still unparalleled to any other movie in memory.
Watching the prequel trilogy with my dad growing up.
I remember growing up with all my cousins our first thing we did every morning was watch Star Wars before school totally memorized every line
Watching the original Star Wars movies for the first time last year! First time for both me and my partner and we both loved them ?
My favourite moment was when Obi One got the high ground!
KOTOR's HK-47, that's one spicy droid
First time watching Return of the Jedi with the family as a little kid and actually being afraid of the Ewoks lol!
* Playing "Star Wars: Battlefront II" on PS2 with my Mate that Passed Away last year. (Awesome Memories).
My favourite memory of Star Wars will always be that time when I had a movie marathon and watched the original trilogy (Ep 4-6) on Bluray with my family. Good times!
Mine is actually super new, sitting up a few nights ago to watch A New Hope with my son. He even watched most of it (he is about 20 months old)
Not getting to see episode 1 at the movies when I was a kid for my birthday because my dad told the guy behind the counter we were 11 (When they had 12 age ratings for movies in the uk). Ended up having to see wild wild west instead. #dadstoohonest!
Favourite memories of Star Wars was is probaly first discovering it on VHS in the video store with my little brother. We must have watched it 1000 times. We still go to every new Star Wars film premiere together. May the 4th be with you all #BroTime
When the Force Awakens came out in theatres, I was working in a toy shop. We got all the merchandise and it was all top secret (embargo and all) and very exciting. I worked until the little hours of the morning putting together all the POS and making a huge display. When I came in the next morning I got to open the shop and saw all the children and collectors filter through and admire the display and get so excited about all the new merchandise and the new era of Star Wars movies. It was really heartwarming and cool to see children and adults all get excited about the same thing.
I remember when i was young, my father bought a vhs player and star wars is the first movie that my whole family watch.
My favourite memory is playing the original Battlefield, 2 player split screen with friends :D
Loved playing star wars battle front II galactic conquest mode(original xbox) with my brother and friends when i was younger, spent so many hours invading all the planet's
My favourite memory was going to see A New Hope: Live in Concert down in Wellington performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. They even did the 20th Century Fox logo. Lots of cosplay and the music was amazing. Awesome time!
Playing the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 on PS2 back in the day with my best mate after school every day. It's one of my favourite memories from my childhood.
watching a New Hope and Empire Strikes Back in our local picture theater In Manurewa as we lad many years ago

Lying down on the carpet in front of the TV, eating fish'n'chips, watching "A New Hope" with my family when I was a kid.
As a kid in the 80's I had an empire strikes back book which came with a 45 record an when it came to turn the page R2D2 would make his famous robot noise.
My favorite star wars moment was getting my Wife to watch Star Wars. And after we had daughter. She loved it so much that we ended up having Rey incorporated into her name.
Playing the old cooperatives star wars games with my brother, such great rimes we had. Though it would always start with a fight for player one. Then moving to games like the force awakens, Kotor series, that was a good, stress free time.
Something truly magical about orchestral music while space ships blow stuff up!
Got me through all aspects of life except those time when I couldn't reach out and summon the TV remote :/
Watching a new hope on vhs at my grandparents as a kid... I thought it was going to be just another boring old person movie but immediately after the movie finished, I rewound the tape and watched it all over again. Close second is the ending to knights of the old republic 2.. absolutely blew my mind as a kid ?
My favorite is a photo book i bought in Disneyland Japan
seeing Return of the Jedi first time
Star wars marathon just before the release of Force Awakens
Growing up as a child and visiting my cousins who had the Classic Battlefront II on the original xbox. We used to play it all the time together. One of my biggest nostalgia moments. Sadly I have not yet played the EA versions of Battlefront.
Best memory relates to when they brought out a podracing game at my local arcade machine years ago. I would wake up at 6.30 in the morning on Saturday and get down to the arcade in town for a $10 unlimited access session and spent 7am-10am playing that game as much as I could. The day they got rid of it for a new machine I cried all day :( never saw that machine again but it was such good dun. The podracing game on PS was my most played game as well. Clocked the game and won the championship with every character (even Subulba despite how much I hated him).
Staying up late to play Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) with my friends in split-screen Xbox.
Oh and reading the amazing old Thrawn novels.
As a young girl, finally finding a Princess to look up to and trying to get merch, and having to result dressing up in a sheet with my hair in buns.
Seeing Episode I as a kid with my friend, at my first ever midnight screening, and drinking my first ever coffee that a friends mum made us in a thermos! :D
My best Star Wars memory would be watching my very first movie with my father almost 12 years ago. Now I'm hooked!
Watching the new films in the theatre with family.
Spending whole weekends with the cousins jamming Star Wars Battlefront 2 from 2005.
In all honesty, I'm late to the Star Wars universe. Not long before Episode VII came out a buddy convinced me to watch them in order. Which I binged over a weekend. Even though I understand the dislike for JarJar, I enjoyed all the movies. So, my favorite memory is easy, it's the fact that all my memories of the series is fresh, and I can say I fell in love with the Universe.
I always remember seeing it on telly when I was young, and asking dad about if “lifesavers” (what I thought Lightsabers were called) we real. Then when the original trilogy was remastered in ‘97 he took me to see all three. Star Wars is definitely part of my DNA!
Dressing up as Darth Vader to see the premier on Empire Strikes Back as a 9 year old :)
Star Wars at the Drive Inn with my parents many years ago
Definitely collecting Lego Star Wars Sets
I didn't grow up in a wealthy family, so it made me appreciate everyone and everything I had. The first time I was introduced to Star Wars, was at my friends birthday party. He had gotten a Darth Vader action figure, along with a Star Wars themed cake. I was instantly interested, because the character looked so villainous and wicked. My friend rented "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" on VHS and we watched it 3 times in a row. It was so epic! From that day onward, I've never looked back. Cough* Star Wars nerd alert! excuse me.
I went to see Revenge of the Sith while I was living in Cyprus. The entire opening crawl was in Greek and I had no idea what it said. Then it cut to a massive space battle and I started the movie thinking "what the hell is going on?!"
Realising my now 7 year old nephew is now a big Sat Wars fan and could at just one glance, diferenciate Luke’s X-wing from Poe’s X-wing! I felt so proud!
wondering how on earth the all might empire could build a death star and leave one very obvious and very fatal weakness. But Rogue one made that tiny detail incredibly heart breaking
Finally getting my armor and starting to put it together!
My dad taking me to A New Hope at our hometown cinema for my fourth birthday in 1977. It is the first movie I ever saw and made me the huge fan of science fiction that I am today. I can still remember the excited tension of going on the trench run with Luke and the thrill of good triumphing over evil.
First kiss watching Empire Strike Back! I am no sure anything could be better than this.
Best memory was when I was living in the US and a large group of kids all dressed as Ewoks. Scary then, funny now.
Meeting the guys in costume at Armageddon christchurch ?
My favourite memory is my dad taking me to watch the original trilogy in cinemas when they were re-released in 1997. After watching the films on old VHS, taped off the TV, it was a mindblowing experience for my 10 year old self.

Return of the Jedi was the first movie I saw at a theater.
See the Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer for the first time with my brother and getting super excited.
Han Solo shot first.
Being young and sitting down with parents to watch the originals
Watching empires strikes back with my mum eagerly waiting for her reaction when Darth Vader reveals he is indeed, Luke’s father! “He’s his daddy??? NO, NO, NoooooooOoooO!!”
Fondest memory was (still is!) when I was a young kid and home sick from school, the default go to was chucking the old VHS in and watching A New Hope with Mum or Dad.
Looking forward to starting that tradition with my little one when she's older. Sans VHS though :D
First and favourite memory of starwars was going over to my mates house after school to play lego starwars on a ps2 and i've been hooked ever since.

My dad and I are huge Star Wars fans and we watched all of the films before going to the cinema to see The Force Awakens, where we geeked out and didn't stop talking about it for days.
Seeing empire strikes back for the first time as a kid and finding out Vader is Lukes father = mind blown haha
Going to my cousins and playing knights of the old republic when it first came out crowding around a computer way back in 03
My favourite memory of Star Wars is watching the Clone Wars animated series and having a whole new appreciation of the Star Wars universe :D
My favourite memory that I associate with Star Wars is seeing the Rogue One and The Last Jedi premiers with my dad.
My favourite Star Wars memory has to be going to see Episode 1 when i was 9 years old. We were on a family holiday in Rotorua and it was a miserable day so mum treated us and took us to see it. I felt like i could be Anakin, race pod-racers, train to be a Jedi and use a lightsaber. And there was Jar-Jar Binks..... i now know that he is a disliked character but when you're 9 years old he was the funniest character! That day my love for Star Wars began!
My older brother is 9 years older than me. When phantom menace came out he was at and age where he didn't want to be seen with me. He took me to the movie just us 2 and I still remember him saying "Of course I wanted to see it with you. Star wars is our thing". Meant a lot to 9 year old me
My radio controlled R2D2 my grandmother brought me many many years ago lol
I was quite far through my pregnancy when I went to Episode One at the cinema with my husband. It certainly wasn't the best Star Wars movie, but it is my favourite memory associated with it, because my son was kicking around at the exciting times during the movie so it was like sharing his first Star Wars movie with him. He's grown up to become a huge Star Wars fan :)
At a really young age - i remember listening to star wars on record with my older brother acting out all the bits. Was one of the funniest things to watch - he was using a make shift paper towel roll with red cellophane wrapped around it as a light saber.
My favourite memory I associate with Star Wars is of seeing The Force Awakens a few years back. I ended up seeing it 5 times at the movies. That movie brought me back to happy times of discovering Star Wars for the very first time when I was little. I got to see a brand new film that brought back some of munch fave characters and introduce new ones. And it also made me go back and watch and appreciate the prequels too. I think ultimately it was the old but familiar, and the new of Force Awakens that give me the best memories! Thanks MA
Lego Star Wars on the PS2 - I put a lot of time into the games
i remember playing a lot of lego star wars on ps2
Still have my Han Solo Blaster and Pop up Light-saber Red version from Empire Strikes Back....My kids love them and still work after 30 plus years!
Having all the star wars merch as a kid, u can call me a nerd but I don't care XD

I remember winning a Colgate toothpaste competition when I was a kid and getting tickets to Return of the Jedi. My brother and I used to put the stool on our bunk beds and pretend it was the guns on the Millennium Falcon.
I was just 6 and my dad took me the cinema to watch Guerre Stellari (Star Wars, of course). It was a long time ago, in a country far, far away... Italy 1977...
Having a poster of Darth Maul next to my bed when the Phantom Menace came out and then having to get my Mum to remove it after I had nightmares about him. Spooky

Going to the movies to see star wars the force awakens with my dad and granddad (I was to young to see the originals with them) or playing Lego star wars on ps2 with my best mate
I was so obsessed with Star Wars as a kid that I would watch it endlessly on repeat. I remember once, on the night before we were due to leave for a family trip overseas, I so badly wanted to get in my Star Wars fix that I stayed up late just rewatching Episode 8 until I was forced to go to bed.
My favorite momory for star wars is When Darth Vader save luke from Darth Sidous. Family 1st and ruling the galaxy 2nd.
Seeing Han's death scene in 3D, it was so DAMN SAD
How my two young boys are starting to enjoy their Star Wars 'journey'. Following in their father's footsteps. #veryproud #starwarsfamily
Back in the mid 80’s when we first got a vhs player and dad brought home Star Wars. Far out!
The oppening credits of star wars made me want to be a graphic designer and I remember playing and editing old vhs on my childhood.
My best Star Wars memory is the first played Star Wars Knights of the old republic on. That game is truly epic.
Going to see 'A New Hope' when it released in downtown Auckland with my dear old Mum & my brother. When it wasn't titled 'A New Hope.' And Han Solo shot first.

Playing leg star wars
Rewatching the series with my 6yo boy, just seeing his eyes light up at the scenes with space battles, coloured lasers flashing across the screen. Two years later and he still loves those scenes, draws them all the time and excitedly naming the different types of fighter ships (X & A Wings, Tie etc) he's depicted.
watching the the first movies as a small boy, greatest movies!
Watching Episode 3 with my brother as a kid :D
Being able to take my son to see TLJ and also planning to do so for the new Solo movie coming out, it's great I can share the experience with him as I had when I was a child growing up with Star Wars.

Just being a kid back in primary school and playing with my mates star wars figures and vehicles. Those were the days.
Watching all the movies with my dad when i was younger.
My friend and I went to the midnight screening of Force Awakens on the first day it came out. We were so excited to see it and were very glad to have a great audience, at the end everybody gave a standing ovation.
Waking up early with a friend during sleep-overs just so we could play a couple extra hours of SW Battlefront II before it was "too sunny to be inside" lol.
It would have to being amazed by watching anikin racing his podracer!
I remember every weekend rushing into my moms bedroom as a young kid and rewatching Star Wars IV-VI with my sister. The imagination that would spurn, the feelings, I loved it, the best movies ever made.
Watching the original trilogy as a kid with my dad when it was rereleased in cinemas. Was so excited during the death star trench run I was shaking lol
I just remember as a kid having the original 3 on VHS copied off television (this would have been back in the 1980's - 90's).
Always watching them when I was sick or on school holidays, Dad would get home from work and say "your not watching that again, I want to watch the news".
A simple memory but just goes to show how much these movies were a part of my childhood.
My uncle took me to see my first star wars movie & I thought he was the coolest uncle in the world, now i know he’s really not....
my best memory was STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBILIC on the xbox hoppfully one day they will go back to making games like that but in the mean time id love to win an amazing ps4 pro :)
Seeing the Millennium Falcon in The Force Awakens.
I still love watching the last 20 mins of episode 1. I used to play star wars battles with my friends with pillows like that. Great times.
When I got to see Return of the Jedi in Canada before my friends in NZ while I was there on holiday. Those were the days when movies were released in NZ 3 - 6 months after the rest of the World!
Ive only just started watching the Star Wars movies as my partner is a HUGE fan and he's said they're a must watch so I've begun! He would absolutely love this console for the TV in our bedroom! Fingers crossed :)
Going to see episode I on the big screen and immensley enjoying Jar Jar’s comedic relief
An old man getting mad at me and storming out of the theatre coz i was so stoked and couldn't hold my excitement during the film.
Snuggling up with the kids and watching all 6 movies over a wet weekend. It was so much fun introducing them to Star Wars and talking to them about the differences between the new and original 3
I dont know i have so many great memories but at the moment i'm thinking of the forest fight scene between Kylo ren and Rey. I love all the moments between them.

Lining up down the street to get to a screening at the Savoy Theatre in CHCH of The Empire Strikes Back, when it was released in the 80s. Still feel the anticipation!
Vader: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
Luke: NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!!!
lol it never gets old.
Every moment of The Empire Strikes Back
Any time my brother and I would hire out the star wars movies from the video store when we were kids
Now I know this isn't a popular opinion to like the new prequels, but the ending to rogue one was so amazing
There are too many to list so I'll fill you in on the most simple one, every time my wife say to me "I love you" and I reply with "I know" and at that moment we geek out a little and know we will spend the rest of our lives together (or until my son *spoilers* stabs me through the chest with a lightsaber).
I was almost 10 years old the summer The Empire Strikes Back came out. After seeing it 13 times I rounded up the neighborhood kids and directed my own ESB play hand written on that endless dot matrix printer paper. This picture was taken on Halloween still a glow from the summer, we gathered one last time to prove that we believed in the power of the Force.
watching the original trilogy with my pop, using the old VHS system.
Playing the original Battlefronts with friends on PS2. So many sleepless nights slaying droids.
I remember first watching it on holiday in the bay of islands. I don't remember much of the trip except for the people I was with, and watching star wars. I never heard of star wars before then, and I will always remember this being the first time.
Taking my boy to the force awakens at the midnight opening?
Seeing A new hope special edition release in the cinema in 1997 as a 7 year old with my older cousin then going out to the toy store afterwards and getting an X-wing toy with Luke Skywalker. I still have it today.

The first time I watched our tv recorded Star Wars VCRs was my favourite memory as it was the first time I experienced Star Wars and have loved it ever since. Great to see them on tv again recently :)
Getting my photo taken with a cosplayer dressed as a Star Wars Empire guard at Wellington's Armageddon.
My grandmother introduced me to this when I was around 7-8 yrs old. We would go to the mall and look for the CDs of the Episodes. Wayching the movies is one of our favorite past time. Love ya granny <3
When my family, from overseas, came to visit and we had a marathon.
I remember the first star wars I ever saw; "Attack Of The Clones". I found it captivating and I loved how Padme was such a badass that I wanted to be like her. People can say what they like about the prequels but they got me into star wars to begin with and I therefore love them.
Going along to the original movie in the 70s.
Watching a new hope for the first time as a young 10 year old. Being amazed at such a cool galaxy far far away.
i met some awesome friends on my first real online pc game star wars galaxies. one came out with his family from the usa & we had a great time. we took them to hobbiton , the ice house & sky tower. I did the sky jump 2x (1 for free & backwards) my friend chickened out but we all still had a great time. a great experience from a star wars freindship
I have always been a star wars fan being old enough to see it when it first came out at the beginning & then sharing that joy with my son as he has grown up, star wars lego & figures diaramas all over the house, playing star wars in the backyard with his friends & then online still making friends today & still enjoying every little bit of it for the both of us.
Seeing the original Star Wars for the first time as a kid - and all the awesome action figures- which I still have to this day !

My boyfriend took me to the movies as a birthday present, the last jedi came out on the 14th which is the day of my birthday but we went on the 15th. There were so many cool moments and I remember thinking how fin and rose were so cute together. I also remember how stunned I was when Luke was fighting kylo and his troops but was in fact not really there, using the force and fell. Me and my partner had many moments staring at each other thinking wow or how awesome it way. Best birthday gift ever.
The first game I ever finished was Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast. The feeling of accomplishment was exhilarating and I will always get that feeling when seeing or playing that game.
Watching Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith with my Dad, and having him tell me about when he used to use his Darth Vader figurine as a block or shield when scrapping in school as a kid, and how he always told his schoolyard opponents how they'd been bested by Darth Vader and the Force! Wish he'd kept the figurine, it would have been awesome to show it to his grandkids
Playing through my first star wars game - jedi academy
1977 - walking into the movie theatre in Hong Kong - we were a couple of minutes late - the movie had already started - but first of all the Tantive IV flew overhead - that was a big space ship! Then...the Imperial Destroyer flew into view...and kept coming....and kept coming still more! I was blown away and the movie had me (for the rest of my life)!
I skipped school to watch the remastered versions at the cinemas! Best. Days. Ever.
For me it has to be... Repeated star wars marathons with friends.

Enjoying starwars as a child then watching the new star wars with my kids and they really love it too..... listening to their ohhs and ahhs, and then their pew pews when running through the hallway..... so cool
When Han shot first
Hearing the Imperial March and seeing Vader for the first time...even now I get goosebumps hearing that score!
Watching the very 1st Star Wars movie on the "big screen" at the Movie Theatre, in the 70's. Seeing the futuristic opening scenes back then was just eye-popping!! along with the rest of the movie of course. Yahoo-ing, clapping, jumping up and down, when the good guys won. That Luke Skywalker....so handsome!! and wishing YOU were Princess Leia. I had the paperback book too - read and re-read many times, till it basically fell apart.
Watching the original trilogy for the first time in a decade after being so disappointed by The Last Jedi. It was a magical experience.
Dad taking me into the city when I was young to see the original Star Wars
Sticks in my mind to this day
The first time I saw Return of the Jedi my brother and I just couldn't stop laughing at Jabba, we were like 6 and 8 and just couldn't contain ourselves looking at him and then when he talked as well just two boys in fits of laughter. Good times
I would love to win this console for my son.
my best memory of Star Wars was introducing my son to the movies.
He collected figurines and when he earned enough from his paper-run he bought an R2D2 console which sadly was stolen in a burglary.. He would be so over the moon replacing his price position with the Star Wars: Battlefront ll Console.
Favourite memory is the star wars bedsheets i had as a kid. Return of the jedi! Still have them, and cant wait till my son is old enogh to use them!
Playing all the Star Wars videogames growing up made for a fun childhood! Would love to keep that going as an adult ?
This one time I almost hooked up with my step sister at a party when were were both drunk, that always reminds me of when Luke and Leia almost hookup in The Empire Strikes Back.
Favourite memory is seeing the latest one in the cinemas. Sadly I missed out on it during my childhood.
I remember as a kid playing a Star Wars game ( STAR WARS - Dark Forces ) I think. And being in this water / sewer stage and some monster always killing me. It scared the crap out of me but at the same time i loved it. I will never forget that stage.
Fave memory was getting "A New Hope" on VHS for xmas when I was really young. Dad watched it with me and I was hooked for life!
Favourite memory is the battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, was awesome to see Obi take on a double sided lightsaber with a single sided lightsaber and kick ass basically.

My favorite memory of star wars would have to be waiting in line at the movies to watch star wars the Force Awakens and then finally getting to the front of the ques waiting in anticipation to watch it because I had been waiting to watch it for so long and finally getting to the front of the queue and walking in and finding my seat,and as I sat down I felt this feeling of releaf as if I just accomplushed something by booking a movie and I was so excited because it had been so long since the revenge of the sith came out and after I watched it I talked about it for monthes after it came out.

Any bit with Jar Jar Binks in it.
When my family and I arrived after 13 hours of flying and they took me straight to a Star Wars: The Force Awakens screening that they had pre-planned as a surprise.
The Christmas before last, my partner and I were having a stressful time with study, work, and friends. We were both studying over the break and the pressure to keep up with everything was overwhelming. Especially Christmas. Originally, we planned to visit one of her friends for the night near Whangarei. We weren't looking forward to the night's drive due to exhaustion. So, a few days before Christmas, as a treat, we watched Episodes I, II, and III at home, watched Rogue One at the Cinemas, then watched IV, V, VI, and VII at home again over the span of a couple of days. We had snacks and veged out for Star Wars. We thought we deserved the break from the world and I'd do again anytime.
My most special Star Wars memory was as a kid (approx 1979/80), we were at a campground in the Coromandel, they had a film reel of Star Wars, so either 8mm or 16mm film (I have no idea where or how they managed to get that!!) This was been projected in the games room, which was packed full of all the kids in the campground. This was the first time I ever saw Star Wars and I was blown away! life changing stuff for a young kid back then, and the start of a life long Star Wars obsession!
Every time I hear the 20th Century Fox movie opening I think of the original Star Wars Trilogy. I get that warm feeling EVERY TIME! I love Star Wars!
Watching episode 3 with my brother
Watching episode 3 with my brother
Watching it at the cinema at 12am with my mate
My favourite memory is going to see Star Wars IV with my cousin daily during school holidays in New Plymouth & seeing the movie on several more occasions when I returned home to Auckland! Great memories! Eagerly awaited releases of every SW movie ever since! Then buying the DVDs & merchandise on Mighty Ape! ;-)
Favourite memory has to be when I watched the original trilogy for the first time as a kid on the good old VHS, absolutely amazing experience and I was a fan since!
having "sick day" star wars movie marathons with my brother
Going to the release of Star Wars VIII The Force Awakens with my family in 2015. I loved the original 6 movies and was so excited that there were more coming out.
Sitting watching the good old original Episode 4 as a young child and deciding who all the family members resembled.
Watching The Clone Wars and playing Clone Wars Adventures/ Star Wars Battlefront 2 probably some of the best moments of my life. :)
My favorite memory was having these toy light sabers as a kid, You would flick them and the plastic pops out to make them long. Press a button for the light which shows the colour of the saber.
Watching all the original Star wars movies as a kid with my family and loving them and when I grew older and found out the original Star wars came out on my birthday and the same year I was born. Rewatching them all with my daughter and sharing the love with her for Star wars -nerding up the next generation!
First time I watched the movies as a kid, so epic.
A long, long time ago they use to actually sell star wars figures at Briscoes. I wanted Chewbacca so much but my mum kept saying "No, can't spend money on toys right now". I was in tears, didn't understand. But later that year I got the mighty Chewbacca for Christmas, and I appreciated him so much more that I still have him today, over 30 years later.
Mine is yet to come as I have only just decided to start to get into it and just bought my first Star Wars merch but if I were to have a favourite memory it would be winning this competition!
My first memory of Star Wars when I was playing Jedi Knight Academy when was 16 years old. Around that time I had just been diagnosed with Testicular, kidney and lung cancer as well as being bed ridden for 9 months in recovery. Playing Jedi Knight Academy and Republic Commando in my time in hospital gave me a sense of power and accomplishment (as well as the force!) that was taken away from me at that age. At that time, it was the only thing I looked forward to if I was to wake up in the morning. 10 years later, I am still an huge fan now! (Except for The Last Jedi, we don't talk about that...)
I remember watching all 3 of the original trilogy back in the mid 80's with my Dad when I was around 6 years old. I was fascinated by the Ewoks and I couldn't wait to meet one in real life, I begged my Mum and Dad something crazy, so much so that they arranged for a friend to dress up as one and come and visit me. He did, and I freaked out! It scared me half to death and I ran off! I don't think the costume was particularly authentic. But bless them for trying.
When watching Star Wars marathon with my friends, then after that watch Force awakens 7 time in the cinema !!
Watching Rogue One with one of my best friends, and loving that they got to tell a fresh tale without any of the baggage of the 'main' storyline.
Seeing the
Making wookie sounds while at work while shaking a stick over my head with my co workers
Watching the force awakens in the theatre because it was my first sw movie in theatres
My Dad got me into scifi and all things star wars!! so it holds a special place in my heart :)
I can remember the Star Wars games from around 1999; Pod Racer, The Phantom Menace, and Rogue Squadron being awesome.
Re-watching all the star wars films with my best mates in college during the school holiday's before going and seeing The Force Awakens on opening day, by far has to be one of my favourite memories of College life.

Showing my kids Star Wars for the first time and watching their obsession grow.
Hearing the Imperial March with my big bro next to me in a movie theatre God knows how many years ago. :).
My 21st bday had a costume party and my cousins came as the most legit storm troopers you have seen !!
Lightsaber battles as a kid!
My favourite Star Wars memory was taking my daughter to Star Wars last Jedi along with my mum (her granny) who had taken me to a New Hope.
Midnight screening party at the Roxy cinema for episode seven the force awakens
When I went to Dekka and got Dark Forces II
The first time I marathon'd the original trilogy with my Dad
After watching Attack if the Clones at the theatre with my family when I was around 10 years old, I sarcastically said "That was almost as good as Babe 2: Pig in the City". My family all thought it was a hilarious comment.
It would have to be playing Star Wars: Battlefront II, on my playstation 2 in split screen with my best friend way back in 2009. We would have so much fun trying to make the other get the Bantha Fodder achievement as the ground of the forests of endor glitched out.
Too many memories! But what stands out for me was the battle on planet Hoth, with snow speeders flying around the walkers like little ants. But why they didn't use the X-Wings, I don't know! Anyone who has seen Rogue One knows they are deadly against the walkers! And don't say it was because of the cold, I mean Hello, they fly in space!! =)
watching star wars for the first time and i was like wow, why didn't you show me this when i was just born. First movies was "a new hope"
That would have to be when I was a lot younger and the original trilogy came around on telly once a year or so. Each time me and my siblings would just sit down huddled around out 14' screen and stay up late watching what we considered the greatest series ever. It was on the same level of anticipation as bdays and Xmas
watching each episode with my dad on the couch despite the rest of the family nagging for it to be turned off
My favourite Star Wars memories are recent ones. My kids are now into it. Love to play starwars, running around the house pretending to be force choked. #parenting #lukeimyourfather
when i was young my grandfather had the original movies on tape. i remember coming over to his as a kid and watch it for the first time . it was an awesome afternoon one ill new forget
The 4th of May, May I have a PS4 Pro for my 4kTV. The Force is strong in this competition :)
Watching Star Wars The Phantom Menace in the cinema with my godfather and laughing at him for most of the movie.
Loading up Shadow of the Empire on my N64 on a weekend morning just to live the battle of Hoth.

Definitely roleplaying as Star Wars characters with friends, during primary school lunchtimes, when The Phantom Menace was in Theatres! Oh and Star Wars Lego for Christmas!
My dad showing me A New Hope for the first time at Five or Six on a video tape he'd recorded off TV. My young mind was blown!

Introducing my son to his first Star Wars movie, and re-experiencing it for the first time through his eyes
Standing in line waiting for Empire Strikes Back and some %#$!@* leaving the theater saying Darth Vader is Lukes Father.
I went to the Civic theatre in Auckland in 1977 to see the first Star Wars movie! I recall looking up into the roof of the movie theatre and seeing the stars painted there, glowing just like I was actually there in Space. The sound, the action, the story was something I have never experienced before. I was a die hard fan of Doctor Who on TV and I thought WOW! if this is science fiction action, I want more and more.....After that, Doctor Who was tame, just for kids. Star Wars, different story. Science Fiction for grown up kids....Even Dad loved it!
My favorite Star Wars memory has to be getting up early as a kid and sneaking to the lounge to put in an old school video tape of the phantom menace and watching it on low volume so I didn’t wake the family :D
Seeing lightsabers for the first time.
I always watched star wars as a kid. We had the original trilogy on VHS tapes that we’d filmed off the tv. And we did the same as the prequel trilogy came out. I never managed to catch any of them in cinemas until the force awakens came out. I got full body chills as the opening sequence came on, blasting that familiar music. Absolute bliss. Took me right back to saturday mornings glued to the tv watching the original trilogy over and over.
My whole family is star wars obsessed. Started with my parents then us kids and now the grandkids are obsessed. Favourite memories are when all of us go watch them together from granma to the youngest grandchild whoop whoop
I have so many favourite Star Wars memories growing up but I remember so clearly as a child really rooting for Luke and Leia to end up together and then the horror of discovering they were brother and sister. My love of Star Wars grew into the expanded universe thanks to my brother and I have many memories of receiving new books as presents. Nothing quite beats losing yourself in a whole different universe for an afternoon. My loves of Star Wars has rubbed off on my own boy/girl twins and I love sharing my love of Star Wars with them now.
The best memory I have, is introducing our then 4 year old to the cartoon (clone wars), and his eyes almost popping out of his head because of how much he liked them. Then running around for days afterwards using every stick/cardboard roll he found as a lightsaber. Needless to say, when I introduced him to the movies, he was speechless!
First Star Wars Marathon at age 10
The wide-eyed joy of my son watching A New Hope for the first time.
The soundtrack of return of the jedi my family had on small vinyl....also the snowspeeder toy that is probably still in my parent's cupboard
Playing sith vs Jedi as a kid around my mates farm, playing any of the old school Star Wars games and watching darth maul do flips and stuff
My first memory of life is my dad and me watching Star Wars
that time when i realised what was actually happening and then he was the father
When your friend says he will book the tickets for the midnight screening but gets them for the midday screening the dat after
When my 5yr old daughter wants a full size storm trooper in her very pink bedroom! mission accomplished!
Reminds me of going to the old Odean Theatre in Tauranga (now Event Cinemas) when it was only one big single cinema, eating tangy fruits & popcorn & half way through watching Star Wars would be an intermission. :D
Watching Star Wars Episode 1 Premiere and getting goosebumps and hair standing up from the adrenaline rush when Anakin was Racing his Podracer through the canyons and how loud it was at the cinema

The first time I seen Darth Vader. The first time I felt that naive little spine of my infant self shiver at my first sight of the Sith. Jesus....
Haha....being a young man in the 80s, Leia in her ROTJ Bakini made me feel ways about stuff...
Sering the original 9 tines at the movies when i was 12
It was school holidays, when I was probably about 12 or 13, and I was super bored and decided to watch my older brother's VHS copy of Return of the Jedi that he had taped off of the TV. That was when I really fell in love with Star Wars. I proceeded to watch it about 13 times over the remainder of the holidays.
To this day whenever I watch Return of the Jedi, I instinctively remember where all of the commercial breaks were on that old VHS copy that I watched!
Lightsaber battles with my brother.
Watching Return of the Jedi as a kid and crying for the poor Ewoks!
Eating Dessertalicious ice cream on Sunday nights while watching the original trilogy on TV.
My favourite Star Wars memory is playing the original Star Wars battlefront on the original xbox when I was 10. So much time spent playing on Naboo Plains, Kashyyk Docks, and Bespin Cloud City
Meeting a horde of Stormtrooper cosplayers xD xD
Getting to watch The Phantom Menace in the Cinemas with my family. It was the first real movie that we all watched together. Being young I thought the movie was amazing (and regrettably Jar Jar was one of my favorite characters at the time).
My favourite memory is my first, Mum taped episode 4 off channel 2 in the late 80s - ads n all. I watched it so often the video wore out and she had to buy me another copy lol
Playing the old star wars games on the ps1 was the most lit moment for me since I was able to take control and play as a jedi!
Being taken to a movie theatre in london as a kid to watch the phantom menace. Having to sit on a booster seat to see over the seat infront of me and being so excited by the final lightsaber fight i nearly fell off. Brilliant atmosphere
Finally educating my daughter in watching star wars episode one. Her stepdad and I being worried she would be scared of Darth Maul until she's bouncing on the sofa cheering for him to beat qui gon jinn.. and being sad when obi-wan Kenobi then defeated him
The toys! My mum got me loads of the Micro Machines playsets when I was little. That stuff was awesome! I still also wish I had my exploding speeder bike!
My favourite Star Wars memory was when Episodes I, II, and III came out at the movies. My dad took me (of course) and I finally got to experience how he felt as a kid when the original Star Wars trilogy came out and blew his mind.
having a Star Wars movie marathon with friends one weekend to make sure we were all up to speed before heading along to the modnite vieweing of the new one
Mum bought us kids half the series one Christmas, and we spent the rest of the day watching them back to back for the first time while snacking on Chocolate Santas
The last movie I saw with my father was the midnight release of The Phantom Menace. Now Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the first computer game I am playing with my son. Winning this package would allow the adventure to continue into the next stage of our lives as well.
Watching Episodes IV, V, and VI back to back as a kid with my cousins. It was what sparked my love for the Sci-Fi genre.
Still the best scene, when yoda tells luke "Do or do not, there is no try."
Having a marathon watch with the kids and introducing them to the battle of end or and a caravan of courage!!!! Epic times!!

Seeing star wars for the first time i think it was 1980 at the civic theater queen st, and getting my photo taken with darth vader at thd old famers building. Now i can share the star wars movies with my kids and carry on the Jedi legacy on lol.
Going to the midnight screening of episode 7! :)
My sons birthday on may the 4th!!!! Had the first 6 eps on dvd watched them atleast 100 times each.
Remembering the hype when Return of the Jedi was coming to theatres for the first time, all the cinemas replayed A new hope and Empire prior, which escalated everything, all this before the world wide web took over
I still remember buying my first light saber at the age of 10 in Hawaii! It was a movie replica and it helped me won the Halloween dress-up contest at my primary school that year!
My brother and I went to see Return of the Jedi when we were kids in the cinema.
I'm 43 now, so I can't remember how old I was. My parents had gone out that night, so the brothers were babysitting me. However on that same night there was a double feature at the Embassy in Hamilton, showing Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, which had just came out that year. First time I'd ever saw Star Wars, start of a new era for me. but the brothers weren't too happy that we had to leave halfway through The Empire to get back before the parents. Thanks my bros.....
My favourite memory is the first time I introduced my son to Star Wars! Watching him take in all the excitement and magic of Star Wars as he first watched the movies was amazing!
Watching Star Wars with my sons, and then going straight out afterwards and buying them both lightsabers!
Going to school one day dressed as a jedi!!!!
My favourite Star Wars moment was when I first saw luke ignite his lightsaber in a New Hope was when I was 8 years old (about 21 years ago on VHS!) since then I have been fascinated with the lightsaber, to the point where at my Wedding at the beginning of this year my wife and I had a surpriae choreographed lightsaber duel during the first dance. We practised for quite a long time learnt lightsaber stance/movement techniques came up with the routine (one part based on the duel in empire strikes back, one part force awakens and one part phantom menace) and had sourced fx replica lightsabers.
Hooking up with my Girlfriend after watching Star Wars Episode 2 at Stratford Kings Theater - that Girlfriend became my wife and we have 3 kids.....
Back in the early 2000’s when our local cinema played a midnight screening of Attack of the Clones. The unique thing about this screening was they chose to play it 30% louder. That’s how all Star Wars movies should sound!

Star Wars was the only movie my dad ever took me too so that makes it pretty special!
Seeing revenge of the Sith over and over again for all of my friends birthdays way back when to really kickstart my obsession with everything star wars that has only gotten and better.
Competition is now closed. We'd like to congratulate the winner Catrina Isiah :)
I watched the Phantom Menace once. I wanted to die.
i remember when my dad took me to the cinema to introduced me to star war
