Sharing Star Wars 2013

Between Her Universe’s Year of the Fangirl and the announcement of more Star Wars movies in the future, May the Fourth couldn’t get here early enough. We thought it would be fun to ask the blog’s contributors to share why Star Wars is special to them. Interestingly, the questionnaires came back quickly and what I thought would be short, easy answers yielded some thoughtful replies. No doubt about it, fangirls love Star Wars!

If May the Fourth is new to you, Bonnie Burton made a great video about Star Wars Day. As the day approaches, we’ll post the responses from our contributors. Feel free to share your own, too.

Here’s the list of FANgirl contributors’ questionnaire responses:
