Thread: Wars of the Stars

  1. #1

    Default Wars of the Stars

    So, this may come off as lame, and to some down right unspeakable, but I have yet to watch any of the Star Wars movies. I'm here to ask a general opinion of weather or not I should watch them. Please take the time to try to convince me why or why not as well. Also, If you say yes please indicate what order I should watch them in. Thanks for taking this time to procrastinate whatever it is you need to be doing.

    Melissaur, I haven't seen them either! And I don't really have any desire to, because I feel like I know everything merely from watching adultswim and other pop culture ridden things.

    I join with you in needing to be convinced.

    It's tough to watch these movies for the first time at this point. A lot of it will seem cheesy or not live up to the hype. There were made in the 70s-80s after all. But they are still worth watching because they are classics and one of the best if not the best adventure movies ever made.

    You should watch Indian Jones instead.

    Pop culture ruined the amazing twist at the end of Empire Strikes Back for me.

    Play Monkey Island instead

    Watch them in order to get nerdy references. I never thought they were super good, but they were worth the time spent watching them.

    I won't speak to you again until you have watched them.

    EDIT: And neither will Eric or Julian for that matter!

    Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi.

    And no one will fault you if you don't watch the prequels. They were rather craptastic.

    I second Jiro's sentiments as well. This will be my final communication with you until you rectify your error.

    Since they were an integral part of my childhood I have a very biased opinion. But yes, you probably should watch the greatest trilogy ever made.

    Yes yes by all godly mean yes.

    I won't be surprised if you don't like it, but you should watch it anymattter. It is a classic and there are laser swords. Immediate win.

    Obviously you should watch them in the order they were made. A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, then Return of the Jedi.
    While the prequals were only pretty okay, I would say watch them afterwards, because it gives more depth in the story. Mostly kinda.

    Just watch them.

    If you want to be original then watch them by way they were brought out. It's how us normal people did it.

    I remember my bro and dad watching a new hope, empire strikes back, and return of the jedi all at once in a cinema when we lived in Germany. Good god I wish I was old enough at the time to have appreciated it...

    Otherwise watch them in order if you think you'll understand more (why certain things happened, what sparked xyz, blahblahblah).

    Conversely, you could if you so desire watch empire strikes back, revenge of the sith, a new hope, attack of the clones, return of the jedi, and then phantom menace...just to give you a puzzle to fathom.

    Basically, yes. Watch them.

    what? you should definitely watch the prequels. Revenge of the Sith was wonderful!

    I don't know what prequels you saw, but apparently I watched the wrong ones.

    The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones were poor by any standards, but I thought Revenge of the Sith was pretty decent.
