...When you got your first Star Wars figure?
I was 1 or 2 and my parents would fly to Houston (from Toronto) every 2 weeks, my mom's friend gave me Darth Vader and Emperor's Royal Guard erasers so that I would have something to play with on the flights. The first "action figure" that I got was also from my mom's friend (her son was 6 or 7 when Star Wars came out and was really into it) and it was his broken 8D8 figure (it was awesome ;D).
...When you first remember seeing a Star Wars movie in a theatre?
In a theater it would have to be the SE rerelease, whenever that was (1998?).
...Went to your first professional sports game?
My dad took me to a Blue Jays game at Exhibition Stadium (I think) before the Skydome was built, so I guess that was around '87 or so.

My first full can of beer was when I was 18 after I graduated from High School. I went pretty hardcore for the next two years (freshman/sophomore years of college - obviously), but I don't really drink anymore.

...Found the love of your life (if you have yet)?
:-* If "the love of my life" has to be a person, I was 21. We met while I was teaching martial arts.
The REAL love of my life IS martial arts, that love affair started in 1984, and is still with me today. ;D

Well I was only 8yrs old when the frist Star wars film came out in the uk.Thats when Ialso stared collecting the action figures also the same day I saw that movie and my frist action figure was R2-D2... The most hardest figure to find when Iwas 8yrs old was the Jawa.bilbo
-
SW fig: The first day they were released in 78. My local Toystore had an event similar to midnight madness. Except that the figures were released at 7PM. I can remember the crowds and everyone just grabbing as much as possible. Some things dont change. Vader was my first and I grabbed a Luke for a birthday party I went to. I remember the Luke being the DT because I was all upset my Vader did not have the same saber.
Movie: Opening week for Star Wars. All I can remember were the lines.
Sporting Event: 1975 Red Sox game vs Kansas City. Great year, but the Sox came up short. Did not matter though since I was a George Brett fan, and I believe '75 may of been his rookie year.
Booze: The summer before we started 7th grade (13 years old). Old Milwaukee Beer and Riunite wine we stole from our parents. Man we got sick.
Wife: Met my wife back in '94 while playing in a band and we're still together.
-
...When you got your first Star Wars figure?
- When they first came out...Back when K-Mart was king..Luke, Vader, Obi Wan, R2D2 and C3PO and a Landspeeder. (and Bilbo, I remember the Jawa being SUPER hard to find too, finally got 2 from the GROCERY STORE)
...When you first remember seeing a Star Wars movie in a theatre?
- The original release. I threw a fit (I was 6) because I didn't like "Space" movies...I wanted "Cowboys and Indians"
...Went to your first professional sports game?
- at the Ripe age of 3 I went to my first Minor League Hockey Game. Fort Worth Red Wings vs. Dallas Blackhawks..Suppossedly there was a fight in the stands...I don't remember it. I had been to a Rodeo a week earlier, but I don't think this crowd considers that a sport. The first big time sport I remember is a Rangers (Baseball) game where the son of a very close family friend was pitching for the Oppossing team the Twins.
...When you drank your first beer?
- My parents had a Keg Fridge and my duty was to fill the mugs and drink the foam off the top. But if you count the first actual beer, 17 and it was a bottle of St. Pauli Girl DARK.....
...Found the love of your life (if you have yet)?
- I met my wife in Grad School (1993)...they sat us Alphabetically...so I found her the first day...she didn't find me till a year later(1994) (I wore her down).

Cool thread idea. I took the liberty, I hope you don't mind CHEWIE, to add a few milestones. Some may be more personal but it was an important milestone in my life nonetheless, and probably is in most of yours as well. Feel free to skip any if you're not comfortable devulging that information.

Pehaps that was a little more info that some of you needed or wanted. Sorry for that. I'm just real proud of my life despite it's flaws.
-
My mom and dad took me when I was 3 years old in 1977 the first summer it was out. My dad thought I would probably like it. What an understatement. Mom was hesitant to bring me. Of course at the time I mainly just liked R2-D2 and C-3PO.
