I have actually never watched starwars in full. Is it actually as awesome and fandom-worthy as people make it out to be? Most of what I know about star wars came from the KFC and pepsi promos in the 90s and from the 3 year old explaining star wars video.

Most of what I know about star wars came from the KFC and pepsi promos in the 90s and from the 3 year old explaining star wars video. In my opinion, absolutely. I didn't even become a fan until my early teens, but I've been a huge fan since. You've got a great story, awesome action scenes, and badasses that carry lightsabers. What is there not love? If teenagers with wands is your cup of tea though, you'll have to look elsewhere. :P

Prequels are debatale in quaity, mostly its just failed to captialize on potential. the cla S S ICS are generally hailed as classics all around, 4 and 5 are really the best two in the series.

I like episodes 4-6, but I really don't see how the fandom has existed for four decades now. The original films are really good, but I think it's nuts people have been dwelling on the series for so damn long. I guess it's because of the lore or something....because there are plenty of great films out there that don't have any fandom past half a decade. Q_Q.

Well, it may have to do with the fact that the prequels are only a few years old, and that renewed interest in the series? Also there was the original trilogy re-release in 97. But the most obvious answer is that Star Wars is not just any other series, they were the biggest series ever back in the 70s and 80s. Nothing rivaled it in popularity, and it was a worldwide phenomenon. Think Harry Potter of Lord of the Rings, but even more so. And back when there was little to no competition.

Most of what I know about star wars came from the KFC and pepsi promos in the 90s and from the 3 year old explaining star wars video. A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back are the best in the series. Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith are about on par with each other and a step down from the first two but still pretty good movies. Clone Wars is mediocre, however, and Phantom Menace is simply terrible.

Can we skip this prequel 3d nonsense and get the original trilogy 3d in theatres instead? kthnxbai :P

agreed. Empire Strikes Back is going to be awesome in 3-D. I'm getting a boner just thinking about Empire Strikes Back in 3Di am excited, but not that excited.

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]I have actually never watched starwars in full. Is it actually as awesome and fandom-worthy as people make it out to be? Well, it's more like 'come for the movies, stay for the expanded universe' With that said, the movies are definitely an interesting piece of work.

But those films didnt have three straight classics. Star Wars is perhaps the greatest movie trilogy ever.

Just finished watching episode III. Such an emotional movie, especially when you watch all 3 movies. It's rather overwhelming to see all the Jedi get killed.

When I went to see the first public showing of Revenge of the Sith at the Odeon in Leicester Square in London (which is where they have the UK red-carpet premieres and so has an appropriately huge screen with accompanying full-size stage in front of it) a fully costumed Obi-Wan and Darth Maul got up on stage before the trailers and just went for it, they'd clearly choreographed the whole thing and even the security took a moment to enjoy the spectacle before booting them out.Gotta love fanboys.

Marketing, Marketing, and more marketing
This.
George Lucas is the worlds savviest nerd, when he signed on for the original trilogy he made sure to have the lions share of the merchandising rights and profits thereof, which pretty much ensured he has a bottomless pit of money until the day he dies.Then he just needed to wait for tech to get better, much as Cameron did with Avatar. Funnily or perhaps ironically enough though, both of them ended up having to get involved with that side of things and pay for/create much of the tech-revolution they had sat on their laurels waiting for.
Space Jew? I know Star Wars is responsible for more than a few of histories least racially sensitive characters but I was always struck by how theyd managed to avoid doing a Jew, now I feel ashamed and ultimately curious

Aaaaaaahhh yeah thats not a bad point. I always thought he was more of a Space-Iranian, like he might have a brother working in a discount electronics store somewhere, but now my worldview is shaken.

He does have that middle eastern/Iranian-ish accent though that's true. But that's close enough to Israel no? :lol:

Good luck getting people to forget about Star Wars. There's a whole generation that likes the prequels, so get used to it.

never So you want others to forget about them, but refuse to forget them yourself. Curious.well if everyone else forgot about them then there won't be any more threads about them to remind me and stuff.
