So one of my things to do this year is watch a Star Wars marathon, but Netflix doesn't stream it, so I'm going to have to buy the whole thing, which is poopy poopy poopy :(
Anyways, discuss the Star Wars movies :monster:
Which was your favorite? Least favorite? Favorite characters?
Your favourite character should be Han Solo and if not you're doing it incorrectly. For the prequels... Watto, I guess? He has a big nose. Obscure Jedi shout out, Plo Koon for life.
I enjoy Star Wars. It has a pretty good storyline. I enjoyed the original trilogy moreso than I did the prequel trilogy that came out many years later. I am also waiting to see how the new movies from Abrams will fare as well.
As for favorite character? I did always like R2D2.
You can always try torrenting the movies, if you're unable to afford the movies.
Watching the movies was a big part of my childhood. I have so many fond memories of it.
I enjoy all of the movies, even though Hayden Christensen is a talentless twat.
1) Empire Strikes Back
2) A New Hope
3) Return of the Jedi
4) Revenge of the Sith
5) Attack of the Clones
6) The Phantom Menace
This is the correct order going from best to worst.
Han is definitely my favourite character. He is followed closely by Greedo because that weird little green man is the funniest smurfing thing I have ever seen.
Sometimes I wonder if I actually like Star Wars or if I just like things about Star Wars. Like space.
P.S. I saw Jedi in theaters. /old
I prefer Star Trek, but Star Wars is very fun as well. It has a Lord of the Rings feel to it (to me) and is good for if you want to watch swashbuckling space heroes being badass. (Obviously Han Solo is the best character.)
Of course I love the original trilogy (Empire Strikes Back is my favorite film of all time). Not much needs to be said about that.
While I like elements of the prequel trilogy, I do feel that they mostly dropped the ball. A lot of what I feel are pointed out in the Pinkett reviews.
There reviews are great, but long reviews on this that are a few years old now at Red Letter Media. The voice/character of the reviewer may be off putting at first (it's supposed to be a creepy old man), but stick with it. The reviews are funny, informative, and even clever. It's easy to look at the prequel trilogy and yell "JAR JAR SUCKS! ANAKIN IS TOO WHINY!!" This guy really goes into all of the films at their core. Clear some time, and go watch them!

Not sure what to make of the Abrams movies, obviously. I am hoping they get the magic back, but I won't be surprised if they don't.
Phantom Menace > Attack of the Clones, Bubba! Also I totally agree with Sephex on Plinkett, there's some really incredible analysis on display there. Would love to see some Plinkett reviews of newer FF games! Maybe EoFF has a budding Plinkett out there somewhere.
Absolutely. I'm always surprised when I see someone claim the reverse. AotC was nearly unbearable.Quote:

I physically enjoy Episode I the most despite all it's glaring and annoying flaws but mentally I can tell that Episode V is the better one. IV is the only other one I can see as good but the rest just bores me.
Quigon is my favourite character. I really like reading extended universe novels involving him. He is what all the other Jedi should have strived to be.
The short novels about Obiwan and Anakin between Episode I and II are also enjoyable because you can see into Anakin's thoughts and somewhat sympathise with the hate he feels without having to physically watch his whininess.
I had seen hundreds of StarWars parodies and jokes on tv before I actually saw StarWars so throughout The Phantom Menace I kept wondering when Darth Maul would reveal that he was Obiwan Kenobi's Father.
StarWars Rouge Squadron and Podracing for N64 are amazing games as is KoTOR
It's a pretty close call, mainly due to how bad Hayden Christensen's acting is in AOTC. But the Phantom menace, other than the pod race and Anakin's boss, has literally no redeeming features whatsoever.Quote:

Yep. One movie has Liam Neeson, one does not. What more needs to be said?
