Riley's Prequel memories: She saw TPM twice, and AOTC two or three times in theaters. She tried to convince herself that TPM was good. Saw AOTC at a midnight showing in Ohio. People were driving by with lightsabers screaming. At that time she had a green lightsaber. The one she has now is blue, and she got it from her friend who was Chris Hardwick's assistant. She hasn't re-watched the movie in a long time, but is still fond of the end fight scene. She remembers seeing it a second time with her nephew. He was scared when Zam Wesell's face changes and wanted to leave, but Riley wouldn't let him, as she felt he was too old to still be getting scared in movies.
