When Dee Kesler (singer and guitarist) and Jason Gonzales (drummer and keyboardist) of the indie band Thee More Shallows get together, it's only a matter of time before a Star Wars discussion is in full swing. Die-hard fans at a young age, Kesler and Gonzales have plenty to say about their first original trilogy memories, the toys they loved and the inspiration gleaned from John Williams' dynamic musical score.
"I can remember after seeing the first movie when I was seven that I pretended that I was flying in an X-wing fighter and that the other cars became doomed TIE fighters during my entire ride home," Gonzales recalls.
"Going to see the first movie in the theater is one of the first memories I have, period," Kesler says. "I remember loving it. My second encounter with Star Wars was a bit more traumatic. I apparently started to cry during the 'Star Wars Holiday Special' because Chewie's family looked so freaky."
