It is free for all Friday here on the Council of Trent podcast. Monday's Wednesdays, we talk

apologetics and theology. Friday, whatever I want. Recently, I was invited onto a popular

YouTube channel hosted by Master Samwise, and he wanted me to come on and just talk about Star Wars.

So we just talked about Star Wars, our love for it, our thoughts on the future. And yeah, we just had a great session just geeking out on that.

He's a great guy, great faithful man.

Definitely go and check out his channel.

And yeah, I hope you enjoy our conversation that I will play here for you now.

Can you tell me about your personal history with Star Wars, how you first experienced and,

yeah, your first experience with it. What made you love Star Wars? Well, I think like for many heels, so I was

born in 1985. So I was born after the original trilogy came out in theaters, but many people

in my generation, so like the kind of the older

millennial generation, were exposed to Star Wars, usually on like VHS cassettes.

So I remember when I was probably about six or seven years old, there were just two

movies that I watched on VHS that really

affected me. One was the 1989 Batman. It was like a movie I had is like never seen before.

And that got me to really fall in love with superheroes and comic books. And the other was

Star Wars, A New Hope. Though originally in 1977, it was just called

Star Wars. Then later, it's called a New Hope. But seeing that was just as a kid, it's your first

time being really inducted into the hero's journey and you really identify with Luke and

the space opera and the lightsaber fights and the wonderful use of miniatures and just

everything involved in it. I was just captivated. So I would say it was, yeah, it was probably

around in the early 90s or so when I first saw that and then later saw Empire Return the Jedi
