I was wondering that myself, although it's a little late for me.
Still, perhaps I may be able to use this information to shield any offspring I may have. How have you managed it, pd?

They came out before I was born - the old ones anyway.
The newer ones, well I just never got round to renting them. I was going to watch them in order, from the first to - how many are there again? Quote:

That is a cool movie.

Stars Wars is the coin of the realm. Most everthing sci-fi since then springs from that.
I saw the original at a matinee the day after it opened. It was groundbreaking for its time. The special effects were absolutely leading-edge. While the story itself was basic archetypal western/samurai, it was so complete and well-thought-out that it was amazing it occurred in the mainstream.

Well, eventually I will get around to watching all 6 of them.
Eventually.

Agreed.
That way you can appreciate the original three. And then weep quietly when the prequels ruin it all.

I agree, SLC. Aesthetically, Lucas should have quit while he was ahead. But it was absolutely brilliant marketing, and hooked a whole new generation.
I took my kids to see the rereleases of the three originals in theaters, and they loved them. At least now they have the cultural reference.

Trust us.
The second three (chronologically the first three) are nowhere near as good. Plus there are some continuity errors and other spoilers given in the prequel trilogy that would ruin aspects of the original trilogy if you watched them first. |

I put this part in white, just incase there is that one other person out there who hasn't seen it
Though highly unlikely.You mean like the fact that a certain someone who starts out as a young boy without a father, and is trained as a Jedi, ends up being a famous man in black? Or that his wife dies of a broken heart and her twins are separated at birth. Destined to become 2 important main characters later in their years. ![]() I told you, I've watched pieces of the movies. ![]() That and whenever someone makes a reference to them, either here or on TV - I google the quote of the scene so I know what's going on.

Yes, that part in white, especially that second part?
That's just ONE of the glaring continuity issues. ONE. The Force is a bunch of bacteria my @#$.

Those aren't the ones I am referring to. Those ones are so well known that they can't be considered spoilers.

Hey! Go easy on the force! It's only a pre-adolescent's mental stew of religion and new age mysticism, for ... for ... for Pete's sake!

Howdy, Katze.
I refuse to ever watch another Star Wars movie. I loved the first two films, hated the Ewoks, was dumb enough to pay to watch the re-release of Episode IV, and will not see the prequels based on that experience alone.

I loved all three of the first films. The prequels, not so much. I will, however, mostly likely go to the theater to seem them in 3D with my nephews.

Quite probably. What of it?
