| Passion for Star Wars: | Sarah loves the fast-paced action of Star Wars. Her favorite trilogy is the Original Trilogy – and she loves to see the Rebels hope against desperate odds, never giving up and eventually prevailing. She also values Vader’s redemptive qualities in ‘Return of the Jedi’ and seeks to see those qualities in others. While she has had mixed feelings about several of the TV series that have been released so far, she always appreciates a well-told story full of action and adventure. |

| Favorite SW Film: | ‘Episode III: Revenge of the Sith’ |
| Favorite SW Character: | Coleman Trebor |
| Passion for Star Wars: | Growing up, Cory remembers his dad recounting to him his experience watching ‘A New Hope’ in theaters for the first time. He could see the light in his father’s eyes as he described the surreal experience it was dreaming of a world among the skies that was full of possibilities and yet so different than what we were experiencing. Star Wars has been a family affair for Cory. He and his brothers almost exclusively asked for Star Wars toys for every Christmas and any birthday. At one point their mom had to put a ban on Star Wars themed cakes and birthdays. Cory appreciates so much that Star Wars displays imagination, action, beautiful worlds, struggles between good & evil, and doing so all while preserving family friendliness. The dedication to choreography and expanding the limits of what is going on in the galaxy has drawn Cory into every film, game, and other Star Wars paraphernalia available. |

| Favorite SW Film: | ‘Episode IV: A New Hope’ |
| Favorite SW Character: | (Legends) Luke Skywalker |
| Passion for Star Wars: | As a kid, Lando grew up loving Luke’s story as he held on to hope when the rest of the galaxy was falling apart. Luke’s resilience and strength inspired him. As a teenager, Lando was thrilled to watch the prequels and learn Anakin’s story and the sad but compelling reality of his conversion to the Dark Side. To Lando, Star Wars has always been about meaningful storytelling. George Lucas’ paradoxical blend of myth and legend with science fiction in the Original Trilogy created a galaxy full of fascination and endless possibility. As Star Wars continues to grow and evolve, Lando hopes other passionate fans will join together to appreciate both the good and bad of Star Wars- critiquing it to constantly make the galaxy a better place. |
