This is written for the nineteen-year-old Luke of A New Hope, but you have to admit, it's fitting.
“Once upon another time. Once upon another space. Once in a lifetime did such a challenge come to a man. Luke Skywalker. A man still half a boy. Hardly out of his teenhood. 20-year-old native of the remote planet Tatooine, young Skywalker is destined to become a star-hopper in his thirst for adventure.
Cosmic Fever? As good a name for it as any. Cosmic Fever, a burning desire to experience more, much more, than the single small ball of interplanetary dust upon which he was born - Tatooine, to him as is Earth to us - Cosmic Fever set Luke’s blood aboil and spirit aflame.
To leave Tatooine! To venture forth into the gulfs of limitless space! To see by the light of other stars. To breath atmosphere with other mixtures of air. To encounter alien beasts & alien beings, alien animals & alien intelligences.
This was the aim, the goal, the devoutly craved desire of Luke Skywalker.”
