    I've just never had that Star Wars vibe that many people have. So I
    think I remember queuing outside the cinema for the first one (could be
    a false memory) but I didn't watch the next two until the late 90's as a housemate had them on VHS.

    One thing I do like about Star Wars though is Bandai do a nice little
    range of model kits for it of which I've built three.

    For me, I didn't get into Star Wars stuff until I played its computer
    games like X-Wings, TIE Fighters, Dark Forces, etc. And then, I enjoyed
    the movies and TV shows. I am not into comic books or any books though.
    :P

    I was never into starwars, and XCOM seems like the opposite of my cup of
    tea. The movies are fine, though.
