Well, I understood your earlier phase of abstract curiosity because I was in the same phase with you as well, albeit solving it in a different way. Now, dunno, we both took different ways I guess so I'm not able to emphatize that well, but it's okay. I'm not like trying to insult you or mock you or anything.

I'm not saying you abandoned it, I'm saying that it's inevitable to find some answers to the many questions you asked, and undergo some change in approaching other forumites; while asking new questions, usually constructed by these answers you got.

A slow slip into insanity is not a solution to a great void of questions about sanity...is it? Or, is it?

So does anyone here actually like any of the Star Wars movies?

I like the original version of the Original Trilogy (and also Adywan's fan edit) but it seems the majority of people here think it's all just a festering pile of suck.

Might be me, actually. Although the only thing I'm having here is fun, surely what I say can EASILY offend a Star Wars fan.

Then again, I wouldn't hate the franchise so passionately if it didn't have so many fans.

I love the original films, pre 1997. Anyone who doesn't is likely devoid of taste and would be the sort to enjoy Sonic recolors. As we all know, Christian Weston Chandler is the only one who can recolor Sonic correctly.

Overrated. The films are quite good but not as good as fans make out. As for culturally significanse it hasn't created any new codes and conventions that weren't in science fiction lierature previously and I don't think it uses any of them in a dynamic and original way. It may be significant in that it is one of the first sci-fi films to earn a mainstream following. I'm just confused how it can sustain all these sequels, games, tie-in novels etc when LucasArts have so much more creative people with more interesting ideas.

I acknowledge the original, definitive Star Wars as one of the best films ever made and I don't feel the need to validate that comment.

However, the Empire Strikes Back is my favorite and Return of the Jedi isn't far behind.

The prequels, on the other hand. I used to think okay of them, the only bad one being The Phantom Menace, but then I saw the Plinkett reviews of them, each film earning a 70, 90, or 120 minute review just ripping them apart for the reasons they failed.

For example, they assumed Lucas was such a genious he only needed to draft one script per film and never revise them. Interestingly, you can see concept art for the film in the footage of him handing the script in to his team of Yes men. I really reccomend these reviews for all the detail they go into. They're funny too. 'Star Wars Episode I is more disappointing then my son'.

Nonetheless, I'm buying them on Blu later this year in the complete set because I'm a Consumer Whore. And How!

They're overrated, and the only great characters are Yoda, Han, Chewie, Vader, Jabba, and Lando. The rest are just good to poor. Luke and Leia are whiny, prissy, preachy bitches, and so are the Jedi. Luke especially is just a massively overconfident weak asshole.

What the Star Wars films are breathtaking at are special effects and imagination. The characters aren't what make it cool for me, but the universe it inhabits which is full of potential as long as I don't have to listen to Luke bitch and whine and moan all day long like a little asshole with his ROTTEN LITTLE MOUTH.

Hey It's popular. I became fan during the Special Edition film and enjoyed all six and the books. I know not everyone enjoys it and that's fine. But it's all a matter of opinion.

Yeah, Mark Hamill is better at voicing the Joker.

The first two originals are great, and their cult classic rank is well deserved. Return of the jedi is regular and over rated.

The new ones are bad.

For those of you who are fans and admire the series, I want to hear more from you. What makes this franchise so unique? Fawful mentioned that the key is the world the characters live in, but I want to hear more opinions about this, I really do.

I just want to understand why it's so loved around the world

I'm a big fan the original trilogy. With Empire Strikes Back being one of my personal favorite movies of all time. The prequels are... okay. I can't really say they're bad but they do not hold up to the originals. I do have a nostalgic spot The Phantom Menace though because it was the first Star Wars movie I ever saw. Of course I do see the flaws of that movie today, but I still remember as a kid being amazed at what I saw that day at the cinema. I had never seen anything like that ever in a movie. Sweet memories...

Oh yes. But it's so fun to overrate some things sometimes.
