Raising a First-Generation Star Wars Fan: A Conversation With My Mom
What was it like raising a young boy when Star Wars burst into the world in 1977? Look no further than today’s holiday episode, where I sit down with my mother, and we take a walk down memory lane together. From that very first opening crawl to being pulled out of school to see Return of the Jedi on opening Friday to all the grace notes: the action-figure certificate under the Christmas tree, boxes of Topps trading cards, the vinyl LP spinning endlessly, and my unwavering insistence on wearing a Star Wars T-shirt for school picture day.
To my mother, with love. And yes—I forgive you for vacuuming up my original Luke Skywalker lightsaber.
