I had seen them once when I was 12 or so on VHS. I may have seen them on TV before that, maybe? I do not remember. But I just was not really that impressed? Then I got into Star Trek at about the same time, and it absorbed me. When they where out for their 20th, I didn’t go see them in theaters and now I wish I had, but I wasn’t into it then. As I became more of a Trekkie, I kind of resented Star Wars for the praise it received. After all, it was just 3 movies. How could it compare to the awesome vast Star Trek franchise? To some extent, I still ask that; but I also understand that Star Wars changed things back in the day. It even effected Star Trek, because the reason TPTB decided not to do a second Star Trek series on a 1978 version of UPN that would have starred everyone except for Spock, was they saw the financial success of Star Wars and wanted such (amongst the other reasons not to launch a 4th broadcast network in the late 70s). I saw the prequels when they came out, as they where an ‘event’ and everyone did… though I may have skipped AOTC in theaters? I don’t remember. Anyway, loving FPS games courtesy of Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force (favorite video game of all time, I think - it got my started on gaming really) when I needed something new, I tried out a Jedi Knights game that came out in 2002, and found a little more depth in Star Wars than I’d remembered. So I re-watched the original trilogy and enjoyed them. The original films are good; but I think the prequels suffer from so many problems… ugh. I’ve seen a few episodes of Clone Wars through my nephew, but it’s not my cup of tea. I’ll be curious about this live action series they’ve spoken about since 2005, if it ever is made. Though I think if they where smart, they’d make it about Vader. Everyone loves Vader. Show us the horrible things he did between III ad IV! Thoughts? |

I really didn’t care about Star Wars either until I started playing SW:TOR. I don’t know what it is about it, but it’s drawn me into the story a lot more than the movies ever did. Now I’m tempted to watch them again, to see if my opinion differs.
