I will never forget how it felt to watch the Star Destroyer come across the screen for the very first time. W-O-A-H. And the music! I had never heard anything so cool. The story was fascinating.

My 10 year old self couldn’t have articulated it then, but I held on to that Princess with everything, because she could be like me.
