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.

This post just made me giggle. xDYou 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.
SPACE CAPITALISM
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.
I liked the original trilogy, but haven't seen the prequels. I only know about those due to the Lego game.
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?
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.
and relevant
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

Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
The prequels need a reimagining desperately.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
If this was a Marvel property, it would've been done twice already.
