In 1977, Star Wars came out and many critics blasted the movie. At 9 years old, sitting in Dad's Pontiac LeMans at the drive in, I was in awe, and became a Star Wars fan. Not a costume wearing/go to convention kind of fan, but I still have the toys I worked extra chores to buy back in the 70s and 80s.
I enjoy Mandalorian. Book of Boba Fett was okay. Obi Wan was pretty good. Haven't watched much of the animated stuff. It ain't great drama, but it's a hell of a lot better than a lot of the crap that gets put out on TV.
