    What's weird about not liking Star Wars? I'd say it's stranger that loads of adults are salivating over watching what was launched as a children's film.

    I thought it was **** the first time around, now I'm an adult it hasn't got any better.

    I would have to disagree with his statement that Star wars is about Lukes journey, its definitely, or at least the first 6 films are, about Anakin/Darth Vader and his redemption.

    Really it is just the Skywalker's story rather than one specific character.

    I think that continues in the new trilogy, as one of those main characters is IMO definitely Luke's kid.

    No you didn't, you're just trying to be different now that's all.

    Cocaine doesn't exactly make you look better over time, does it.

    Don't try this at home kids. The sands of time have not faired well.

    The point is, it's all about nostalgia. If it had never been made before and A New Hope came out now I wouldnt be interested in the slightest. It's just not a great film for an adult to watch for the first time, but it transports me back to a time when essentially life was ****ing brilliant and I'll get that rush of excitement with the new film.

    I still don't get this machete order stuff or the Phantom Menace hate. I struggle sometimes with complicated plots in films but I don't find Star Wars confusing at all. It's never been difficult to follow the master/apprentice relationships and I don't know why midichlorians upset people so much either.

    Having recently watched them all, I agree that Phantom Menace is one of the less awesome ones (though for me that's just because of the weird dialogue at times, and I still love it), but so is A New Hope, and the newest one is the best in my opinion, which is why I don't like all the prequel hate.

    I (almost) agree on that. The Revenge of the Sith is better than both A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, but not Empire Strikes Back.

    Sith is the 4th best one, 3rd if i'm in a good mood.

    Nothing goes near Empire though. Best sequel ever IMO.

    Its been correct about a lot of stuff really (the star wars leaks reddit page), actually a ton of stuff, which is why i had to stop reading it because at this point its just to much. There is nothing in any of the trailers that wasnt on that leaks page just as filming had started. There were even tons of photos of the sets as well.

    Its 4th best. If you are in that good of a mood once in a while you must do ecstasy.

    I rarely touch reddit, but when I have I have regretted it.

    I'm never in a good mood. Though I have a feeling I will have one on Wednesday, when it becomes the 5th best film...

    I should say that ton of **** was wrong, like you read it and you thought, thats like Jar Jar wrong. Still a lot of the leaks were very specific, or very short in length of the leak. Such as just a few seconds of a specific scene etc I dont want to go into to much about what kind of leaks there were because that would give things away but there is no doubt that a good amount of it is correct especially when very specific things appeared in the trailers.

    I love Star Wars, I don't care if people hate it or hate the prequels or hate Lucas for making them, or JarJar is annoying or the story this, the story that! I don't care about machete order, or the one's who ignore 1,2 & 3!
    For me it's just the whole thing! So looking forward to seeing the new one & IMO, it's going to smash every movie record ever!
    I got into Star Wars because someone gave me 2 Star Wars comics when I was 5 or 6. I knew nothing about it, but it was the whole movie in 2 comics! When I read it, I knew it was something special!
    I never saw the movie until a Sunday night on ITV at 7:15! It wasn't a big Christmas Day movie special! I remember it clearly though! My Mum & Dad wanted to go out that night & I would have had to go too, but it rained really hard, so they decided to stay in, so it was The Money Programme on BBC2 until 7:15, then I got to see it!
    I was amazed, haven't changed my opinion of anything since!
