00:00:00.748 --> 00:00:04.380
(uplifting music)

2
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:08.280
- The very first thing that I
was a fan of was "Star Wars",

3
00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:09.113
hands down.

4
00:00:09.113 --> 00:00:11.670
It was honestly my world.

5
00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:13.830
When I say that I loved "Star Wars",

6
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:16.530
I mean I loved Star Wars.

7
00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:20.160
I started a Yoda fan club
when I was in second grade.

8
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.350
It was basically, I would collect photos

9
00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:24.360
of Yoda on the internet, which by the way,

10
00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:25.193
when I was in second grade,

11
00:00:25.193 --> 00:00:26.790
that wasn't as easy as it is now.

12
00:00:26.790 --> 00:00:27.742
I really had to search.

13
00:00:27.742 --> 00:00:29.880
There was no like Google image search.

14
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:31.290
Like I really had to like go on a lot

15
00:00:31.290 --> 00:00:32.616
of Star Wars fan sites to find pictures

16
00:00:32.616 --> 00:00:35.010
of Yoda, and then I would collate them

17
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:36.532
into emails and send them unsolicited

18
00:00:36.532 --> 00:00:38.167
to all my classmates who were like,

19
00:00:38.167 --> 00:00:40.170
"Please stop sending me pictures of Yoda.

20
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:41.503
And I was like, no.

21
00:00:41.503 --> 00:00:44.100
I wasn't in the "Star
Wars" video game world,

22
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:44.933
but I read a bunch

23
00:00:44.933 --> 00:00:47.910
of the books and I used to make my own,

24
00:00:47.910 --> 00:00:50.610
like, "Star Wars" amateur fan films.

25
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:53.922
Like, I would like make my
friends and my poor sister be

26
00:00:53.922 --> 00:00:58.530
in, like, original
stories that I would write

27
00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:00.204
and direct sit in the
"Star Wars" universe.

28
00:01:00.204 --> 00:01:02.250
If Disney wants to call
and like, let me know,

29
00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:04.590
if they wanna auction any
of them, please let me know.

30
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:06.378
Even as a kid, those prequels,

31
00:01:06.378 --> 00:01:09.127
I was skeptical 'cause we all were,

32
00:01:09.127 --> 00:01:11.106
that's the job of a fandom, right,

33
00:01:11.106 --> 00:01:13.350
is to be skeptical of
the thing that you love.

34
00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:15.540
And when I saw that lightsaber battle

35
00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:18.383
with Yoda and Count Doku,
I was like, oh my God.

36
00:01:18.383 --> 00:01:21.219
I knew there was a
reason that I loved Yoda.

37
00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:23.520
You can watch "Mythic Quest"

38
00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:27.063
