>>11650772It really was, I got a N64 for christmas in 1996, then in January my parents take me to see Star Wars A New Hope, It was the greatest thing I had ever seen, I went to the store and they had tons of figures of characters that i had no idea who they were and I could only imagine. It didn't take long since the next month The empire strikes back came out in theaters and I was blown away, I got some toys and love the first two movies and then bam out of nowhere just a month later Return of the Jedi comes out, I watch it and fucking loved it. Got more figures as well to go along with the movie, including some Shadows of the Empire toys, at this point I knew who all the characters were but didn't know who the SOTE guys were, and then I realize one day that there's a N64 game called that so I get it for my birthday along with the VHS trilogy of star wars (which were actually the non-special edition versions, as a kid I just thought they removed stuff from the VHS releases which is why there was no jabba in ANH for example). So much star wars in such little time. I was hyped as fuck for The Phantom Menace, hell the whole world was, but the toys, the video games, they didn't hit the same despite me still being a kid.
