Well, I've been a huge Star Wars fan since I was around 6 :) And yes, I even enjoyed the prequels as a kid. When I got older my interest began drifting to the Old Republic. I played both KOTORs [i]multiple[/i] times and did extensive research into that area (which is why Darth Revan is and will always be my favorite Star Wars character.) As time went I didn't [i]lose[/i] my interest, but I began drifting to other nerd-havens as well; Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, etc. 

But when I went to see The Force Awakens, my former child-like passion was revitalized! So here I am! :D
