Before the prequels, before streaming, before the internet could dissect every frame — Star Wars was something you felt. And if you were a kid growing up in the 80s or 90s, chances are, it was more than just a movie. It was part of who you were.

Maybe your first glimpse of that galaxy far, far away came from a crackly VHS tape, a fuzzy TV broadcast, or a worn-out copy taped off of HBO. Maybe it was the sound of lightsabers in the backyard, or plastic figures scattered across your bedroom floor. Maybe it was standing in line at Toys "R" Us, holding your breath, hoping there was still a Boba Fett left on the peg.

This episode is for the kids who turned couch cushions into X-Wings. For the ones who knew every line from Empire before they knew their multiplication tables. For anyone who remembers a time when the force wasn’t a franchise — it was magic.

Today, we’re opening the blast doors on those childhood memories — the movies, the toys, the costumes, the anticipation — and what it really meant to grow up as a Star Wars fan before the galaxy got so big.

So grab your lightsaber — even if it’s made out of wrapping paper — and let’s jump to lightspeed. Welcome to The Cor Memories Podcast.
