I never did like Star Wars, except for the Tie Fighter games that came out on PC like, 10 years ago. The series was a very cool show for being how old it was, and I agree, it had that power to lure someone in to it's world "far far away". But I wasn't one of them.
I did enjoy the Phantom Menace though, despite that it was not a well recieved film from what I hear.
