Yea I found that interesting as well. I kinda just assumed he'd really be into it and when he wasn't, it was a revelation. haha. I'm with you, Jurassic Park was my Star Wars moment. Star Wars is huge for me too of course, but at that point in my life it was only on TV or VHS. JP was a theater moment and a life changing experience.
I had SW toys and enjoyed it before JP, but I was so young at that time, that it was tough to fully appreciate it's greatness. I've come to realize that of course, but JP was the one that hit me hardest... Well actually BTTF, but JP was probably the biggest overall experience.
