My father also took me to the cinema when I was seven years old.
We watched Conan the Barbarian.
I remember that months after watching that movie in the cinema, I was waving a stick in our house, imagining that I was holding a sword in my hands.
As for Star Wars, although I didn't know how to read yet, when Part VI, Return of the Jedi, came out in 1983, I went to the local cinema with my friends several times (we hid, we didn't leave the theater and we watched the movie in two times 😀) . a few years later, when the films became available on VHS, I watched all three parts (IV, V and again VI), and waited after many years for the sequels...

You waited for 47 years, but you waited for something that was your boyhood wish...
I waited as an adult 😀
In 2015, I saw a car model for the first time that I really liked.
Nissan, 2014 model.
I had an idea to buy a used previous model from 2009, but when I saw the new model, I knew there was no way I could get the old model.
When it was time to replace the car, I started looking for it on car stores.
It was the weekend, 14.03.2020. I looked one car, tried it out, prepare the money, but on monday the state of emergency was imposed due to covid and shut us down for months.
Fear of uncertainty, problems with health and investments, led to the fact that I only bought the desired car in the spring of 2023, three years later...
When I add it up, I saw it in 2015, bought it in 2023. 8 years... Lot of years, but OK, it was a bigger investment...
