Phantom Menace - 1999

I was making a blog entry about Revenge of the Sith releasing in a little over two weeks and I realised something...

I was 15 when the Phantom Menace came out. I'll be 22 in July. WHERE did that time go?!? How old were you guys?

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I was 14. And I remember being extremely pissed; I thought the movie was so bad.

20 now.

I was 15. I was relying on a friend to pick up our tickets for the midnight showing. For some bizarre reason, he decided the following afternoon would be a better time to see it. By coincidence (or was it?) that was about the time our friendship started to erode.

Anywho, for those mathematically challenged, I'm 21 now. I saw AOTC at midnight, but I won't be seeing ROTS the same way. I plan on going that first day and seeing it on DLP, and that'll be something of a drive.

I was 16 years old myself, in 10th grade and the 2 friends I went with and myself all loved it at the time. I 've watched it probally 5 times since its original release and I still like it although the kid is definetly annoying has is jar jar binks but eh whatever. I actually almost hated clone wars more then phantom menace but I only ever watched it once. In theatres, and a nerd behind me kept making sand paper noises every time hayden christainsen opened his mouth in front of amidala.

I was 19. Old enough to know it wasn't a very good movie. I still saw it at the midnight showing and then twice more with other friends. Though, I did fall asleep several times during that third showing, and was bored and looking around the theater most of the other time.
 
I was 17.... Does it seem weird that I thought I was younger when I saw it? I thought I would've been 15 until I did the math.

I was 21. And interestingly enough I will have seen all three prequels in three different cities.

The Phantom Menace was in Sacramento. Attack of the Clones in San Francisco. And Revenge of the Sith will be in San Diego.

Will be the same for me, actually. Pikeville, KY to Mount Sterling, KY to Los Angeles, CA.

My birthday is on May 17th, and I know Episode 1 came out around that time. So I was around 13.

Steve isn't the oldest GAFer IIRC... one of the oldest tho, and the oldest regular poster.

Yep, y'all keep me young :)

That and working with people who are mostly in their 20's.
