As a 5 year old in 1998, I was locked down with the chickenpox while my parents were out of town, leaving me to stay with my grandparents who only ever owned old western VHS’s… I was most displeased. At some point they must have seen 1977’s STAR WARS marketed as a Western of some sort and felt it might be what they were looking for. Well they found out it was undoubtedly what I was looking for, as I rewatched it over and over again until the VHS became unspooled and my Grandma had to buy me my own copy to take home. As my obsession grew alongside the release of the Prequel trilogy, I held very fond nostalgia and appreciativeness of the artistry and delivery of the Original Trilogy. Watching these movies interweaved back to back throughout my childhood and young adult life created a background tapestry of which I could mirror in my own life.
