[QUOTE="Lethalhazard"]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. gaming25
But those films didnt have three straight classics. Star Wars is perhaps the greatest movie trilogy ever. Let's not forget LOTR. :P
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.

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.
[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"][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? 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. 4-6 are great movies that you should definitely watch. 1-3, skip them. No, watch them all and make up your own mind.

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
