Na, not a fan of Star Wars. I adore Star Trek, so I've tried to get into Star Wars a few times since a lot of Trek fans I know love it just as much, but eh I don't see all the fuss.
The only part I really enjoy is that Lightsaber battle in The Phantom Menace at the end. That was badass.
I don't understand why people compare Star Trek and Star Wars, really. They're very different worlds with very different stories. The only reason they're similar at all is because ~space~. Star Wars is set in the past and it's basically magical fantasy with a space twist, and Star Trek is set in the future and it's all computers and socialism and what not.
Don't get me wrong, I love both! But it's like comparing Titanic and The Little Mermaid because they both have to do with the sea.
You need to watch some of The Original Series and view all of Kirk's many, MANY monologues about the virtues of Space America to the Space Commies.Quote:

They compare Star Wars to Star Trek all the time because they both start w/ the word "Star". If Battleship Galactica was "Starship Galactica" they'd throw that in the mix, too. People are just that simple some(all the)times.Quote:

I know pretty much everyone hates the prequels, but I actually really like them!
Denmark and I are meaning to do a watch-through of all six movies (CAN'T WAIT FOR VII) and he found something that said you should watch in this order: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Return of the Jedi.
You see the original story, and then once you find out Vader is Luke's father, you go back and learn his story before heading into Return of the Jedi. I think it's a cool order of the films.
I might have to try watching them like that someday. I really enjoy Star Wars. I prefer the original trilogy, but I still have fun with the prequels.
I have not watched Star Wars in some time (unsure if I've actually watched them) - to the point that all my knowledge of Star Wars comes from other sources (LEGO games, Family Guy spoofs, etc). I should really get them watched.
Mass EoFF screening of Star Wars!
The prequels actually don't bother me as much as it does with others. The only one I didn't like was Episode II. I and III are fine when I'm not in a critical mood.
39 posts and no mention of Boba Fett? :colbert:
The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones were both terrible. I did not see Revenge of the Sith because I hated episodes I and II so much and did not care to subject myself to further Lucas atrocities. Although I consider the remastered versions almost equally as terrible. I can't smurfing focus when there's little digitally remastered creatures running around the rest of the original props and scenery! It breaks my immersion! plus all of the other millions of complaints about the remastered versions
A New Hope holds a place in my heart because it was the first I saw.
Han Solo is great, but (SPOILER)Vader is one of the best villains of all time.

I always knew you were a Sith, Shorty.
Me? I'm no sith! I thought I would merely point it out so I could shatter Liam Neeson's legacy.
At the end of Episode III just incase you ever plan to watch itYoda explains to ObiWan that Liam Neeson lives on through the Force as a Force Ghost
The prequels need a reimagining desperately.
If this was a Marvel property, it would've been done twice already.Quote:
