You probably all know the “urban legend” as it were of Sir Alec Guinness (the man who played Obi-Wan in old Star Wars) ran into a kid who told him that he saw Star Wars over 100 times and wanted an autograph… to which Guinness replied that he would give him one if the kid promised him that he would never watch Star Wars ever again.
According to his autobiography, A Positively Final Appearance, the kid would end up crying and the mother would scold Sir Alec for saying something so mean to a young child. However, this Buzzfeed thing, written by that same kid, told a different story in that he was happy to make that promise and for the most part, kept his word.
Your take as to which story is accurate, but remember one thing; sometimes, people embellish things to make them seem more than what they are. Also, how many kids saw Star Wars over a hundred times back in the day? He probably made a bunch of them promise him never to watch Star Wars again to varying degrees of success.
