Telling the story of how me and Boba Fett became buddies prior to the Empire Strikes Back even being a thing. Plus my experience as a 10yr old seeing Star Wars in the theater.
Ha, I have the micro tech ultra tech bounty hunter in a tanto blade. I don't really carry my microtechs anymore but they are cool to have and play with every now and then.
Yeah, the ultra religious do tend to be the, um, well y'know. All childhoods are difficult, but I'm glad you've survived & my respect for you has increased by orders of magnitude....
Awesome story! We've talked before about our youth, me being from Central Illinois and I think I'm a year older than you. I lucked out when Star Wars came out. I remember the hype in school before it came out. I think the name of the magazine was Scholastic Scope (Maybe I'm wrong) but they had a article about the movie and like you I was "in"!! was a farm kid and Luke being on that moisture farm but wanting adventure spoke to me big time. I never did get the toys but i had the book and the large comic book and wore them out reading them. My "cousin" (who was actually the granddaughter of the lady who was my foster Mom for my first year and a half before I was adopted. Luckily I always knew I was adopted and allowed to have contact with Grandma and her family... though I still don't know my biological parents.) worked at a movie theatre and she got me in for free. I watched Star Wars back to back to back one weekend when I visited them. It was amazing. I jumped in my seat the first time the Star Destroyer was blasting at Leila's ship. I'm a bit of a knife guy and always loved those Bobba Fett OT knives. I didn't buy one but man are one of MicroTech's coolest blades ever. It's cool that you got one of them. Thanks for telling your story. You took me back in time this morning. Oh, I added to my bike stable, a 2017 Royal Enfield Bullet 500. It needs some TLC but man, did I enjoy the ride home.
I remember Scholastic Scope!!! lol. I only got to see SWs the one time but the library in town had the 78lp audio version and I cant even count how many times I checked it out and listened to it in secret. Every time I see a Bullet 500 for sale... Im so tempted. If I ever get a place with a garage where I can tinker I'd love to get one.
as for the Microtech... I found a place that did 4 month layaway but when I went to buy it they were sold out. So I picked out a different one and sure enough a week later they got another Bounty Hunter in, so... now I have 2! lol.
@@UncleVoodoo Libraries were great back then. School was close to the Library and they’d let us walk over and check things out. It was huge to me being out on the farm all the time. Loved the audio version and later on all the novels and comics they’d get in. I’ve lucked out with the property we have, having a garage. I’ve shoehorned bikes so I have to roll some out just to wrench on one. Two of them need a lot of wrenching. 😂 A 500 would be a good addition to your GT, a different kinda burble along riding experience.
@@pinkiewerewolf the other one isn’t a Bounty Hunter, it’s a maroon/black UTx-85. The Fett is my “user” and the UTx is my “pretty” one, and to be honest I think the UTx feels higher quality for some reason even though it costs $100 less 😯
@@UncleVoodoo no accounting for taste, ya know? I've been subbed since before the uncle VooDoo's War Stories, and remember the growing up fundie videos- that were great, this wove into those- but I think you should do the kind of videos that you like to do, with no pressure from me or anyone else! :)
im 1 year older than you.. i found close encounters more involving... mid 70's the cinema was a BIG deal i queued round the block for 'Grease'... 'close encounters'..... ' jaws' .. great times but star wars ... not quite as involving..mind you i had a motorbike age 10.. so i had more exciting things to do... 3 years or so later we all had video casette recorders.. and a friends father seemedto be able to get hold of bootleg video's months before the film was available here in uk... got a copy of 'ET'.. our front room had about 30 people all watching... great memories
It didn't break,.. the ground was a bit soft and that leg was stuck in the ground so when I adjusted my position it just got pulled out of it's socket.
