Out of the six Star Wars movies, which was the one that hooked you? I loved ROTJ, mainly because it's the first one I can remember. I was a small child at the time and loved the ewoks. :D

Star Wars-A New Hope. I use to watch it all the time with family and friends, it slowly became one of my greatest interests.

The Empire Strikes Back. Because it was the first movie where Boba appeared. I didn't know his name was Boba Fett back then though... But I liked him. He was "that man with the cool voice, ship and armor". I didn't know his name before I watched Return of the Jedi.

Chewbacca: RAWR!
Han Solo: Boba Fett?! Where?!

That was when my fettish started.

Hooked to the series?

A New Hope Special Edition (An new Hope or "Star Wars" should really be everyone's)

or hooked to Fett?

Cos it was actually various things and not the movies which got me hooked to Fett....

I got hooded when I saw ESB. Boba was always "the cool guy with the helmet"

The Empire Stirkes Back, for sure.

Empire Strikes back is awesome but I always end up fast forwarding to the part where Vader talks to the bounty hunters.
Return of the Jedi is my favorite though.

Wow! That is a tricky one. I'd say I started out ESB where Boba Fett first appears then had a relapse with Attack of The Clones. Currently leaning towards attack of the clones.

ESB got me. i watched  it when i was like 5 and my favorite parts were the battle of hoth, the part where they froze han, and the lightsaber fight at the end... boba was cool in that movie, but he didnt do a lot... i wish he did more , though.... like, when leia and chewie and everyone else are  trying to rescue han, they couldve had a shoot out with fett..... idk something cool like that.... i know im gonna get flamed for saying this but i hated ROTJ....

Well, ANH is still so vivid in my memory. I was 4 years old when it came out, and is really one of the first things I remember about my childhood. Everything was Star Wars. Star Wars and KISS is all people were talking about in '77.
However, when AOTC came out I finally got to see what Boba Fett really looked like under his helmet... Temeura Morrison. Hard to decide. Every movie has a favorite scene for me:
TPM... Darth Maul and Pod Racing
AOTC... "Boba, is your father here?"
ROTS... Vader vs. Obi-Wan
ANH... "This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight"
ESB... "I am your father Luke, give in to the dark side of the Force you hoser"
ROTJ... "Luke, help me take this mask off"

"Reality is a nice place to visit... but I wouldn't want to live there."

Nope, not a spark in sight to start a flame.

ANH, Han's lines when he is on the Deathstar.

HAN: This is not going to work.
LUKE: Why didn't you say so before?
HAN: I did say so before!

and when he talks to the officer over the com, "Boring conversation anyway"

Good... Bad... I'm the one with the gun.

Yes, Boba Fett (of course) and Han Solo are absolutely my favourite characters in the Star Wars movies.

Good old Han... He was the best in ANH I personally think...When he was cool and single before really getting to know the Princess...

Yeah but I still remember some of the things that Han said in The Empire Strikes Back.
For example: "Never tell me the odds!"
But you are right, he was best in ANH...

Han Solo was my hero, well up until "The Empire Strikes Back" and i saw Boba for the first time. I'll never forget his oneliners....

Vader: No disintegrations
Boba: As you wish
or the classic "He's no good to me dead"

ROTJ baffled me though, how did an army of teddy bears armed with sticks and rocks defeat the Empire? perhaps wheeled vehicles instead of walkers wouldve helped.

What got me hooked on Star Wars was the Rouge Squadren Nintindo 64 game.
Then after that my craze lessened.
Then the craze started again when i saw Episode 2.

At least i think that's how it was.

For me its attack of the clones. my mind practically went numb when i realized where boba fett had come from. see, when episode 2 was coming out, the first image i saw of it was the theater poster, the one with jango fett standing in front, and when i saw that i just stood there.

Attack of the clones is still my favorite, watching Jango beat the piss out of obi wan was magnificent

That was almost inspiring for me, seeing "fett" return to the big screen.

ANH but ROTJ is my fave from the OT and AOTC is my fave from the prequels.

A new Hope is what pulled me into the series.

I first saw RotJ at my cousin's house. I think it was Palpatine electrocuting Luke that got me interested...that sounds weird, I know. But I wanted to know how he did that. lol

A New Hope was the first one I ever saw, and my dad was a fan from the beginning, so he showed me the moies when i was four and I've been a fan since.

With me it's a complete toss up between A New Hope and ESB. But since ESB has Boba Fett in it, I will go with ESB really dragging me in.
