- I was overwhelmed with Star Wars; I was about 11 or 12 when
- I first saw it. I proceeded to see it 14 times at the
- theater (in the days before VCRs), sometimes twice in
- one sitting. In fact I chose Michael (as in, sword carrying
- archangel) as my confirmation name, because it was the
- closest thing to Luke Skywalker I could envision at the
- time (more Catholic anecdotes for you Ellen). Anyway,
- when I've watched the Star Wars movies recently,Skywalker
- always kinda strikes me as a whiney kid. (its a shame you
- gotta get older.)
