7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH
Random BedHead Ed writes "It is a subject often pondered by Star Wars fans: what is it like to watch the six films in order with a fresh perspective? From the Desk of Ghent, On one of the Star Wars blog site's many journals, answers this question in a recent blog entry about the writer's 7-year old son, who recently watched A New Hope for the very first time. Some enlightening quotes: 'Look... Obi-Wan is pretending he doesn't know R2-D2,' and 'Why don't those ships need Hyperspace rings?' It's a pity the end of Empire has been spoiled."
"'Why don't those ships need Hyperspace rings?'"M
Because they didn't even exist in the past in the future in the past. DUH.
Future past future!
How did Yoda go so senile so quickly?
"What happened to everybody's madd light saber skillz???"
"Why are red leader and gold leader the leaders? They don't know what they're doing..."

A question many of us have been asking ourselves ever since *we* saw it the first time
"The dew has clearly fallen with a particularly sickening thud this morning"
Yep. R2 is truely the most Force attuned of them all. Yoda and the other Jedi may have Midichlorians, but R2 has METAL chlorians! [guitar riff!] Excellent!

So, does this mean that R2-D2 is really the main character in Star Wars?
Well you could ask Lucas but I doubt he would know.
Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all
I think arthritis set in for Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. Remember they're much older now. Too bad their light saber didn't double as a walking stick.
And how would you expect to react when finding out that your wife died? By softly whispering, "yes" and then doing the moonwalk?
It's all about more money for George.
When Anakin started to burn up after losing most of his limbs, it is quite possible that his penis was severely burned. Considering that he was engulfed in flames, it is probably safe to say that his penis and scrotum were literally quite gone. Now, my question is, did the Emperor install a prosthetic, mechanical penis onto Darth Vader?
Cyric Zndovzny at your service.
The more important question is why do they wear armor that can't even take one hit.
From a blaster or an Ewok with a stick?
Moonwalk? Hell I'd get my full on booty shakin' on then I'd be all callin' that cute little 19 year old and sayin stuff like hey baby turns out I'm free for a while you wanna get together and bump uglies and she'd be all hell yeah and your my daddy and shit and then we'd be ON TEH SPOKE and she'd help me out with my greased yoda insertions.
Just kidding, honey!
"So until he saw the message from Leia and knew it was not a trap of some sort, he had to maintain his cover."
Ackbar: It's a trap!
Leia: No it's not.
Ackbar: Oh.
you are implying that the Dark Side is a gay conspiracy, then you are being very, very naughty. :-)

Exactly. I doubt I'd remember my family's washing machine from 20 years ago if I saw it again.

You are more bound to side with the good folks who:

- destroyed the weaponless planet Alderaan

You MUST be a Republican. Heil Bush!

robert blake did.

OK people, pay attention and learn something There have been tech advances in the 20 years since the "end" of eps 3 and the start of 4 Obi-Wan did not "recognize" R2D2 because he was not supposed to let on what had been happening, obviously he had been training himself to hide from Vader. Uncle Owen did not recognize C3PO because threepio did not have coverings when he was on that farm previously. In additon there are probably MILLIONS of similar protocol droids, recall the one that threepio ran into on Bespin? Vader walked like "frankenstein" because he was 1) in pain, 2) using new prostheses 3) probably having problems breathing He shouted NNNOOOOO!!!! because he went through everything he did in order to SAVE his wife and yet he has been told HE killed her. Would eny of you done differently? AND FINALLY>>>> you people need to quit trying to apply EARTH and HUMAN values and concepts to what is supposed to be an ALIEN and NON_TERRAN society, these people were not meant to think like you and me, their culture is considerably different than the USofA
Talking to Geeks is like eating jello with a chainsaw, interesting, but painful.
No, there is another.
Pop quiz. Star Wars is:
(a) Cheesy fiction.
(b)Real.

Meanwhile your family has gone through 634 mattresses and 853 pairs of bedwetting diapers :P
After watching the final fight scene in Episode III between Obi Wan and Anakin, was anyone else reminded of King Arthur's fight with the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Oh, well. Sith happens.

It fills me with a fury that can only be compared to that of a fairly angry person.

So, which do you prefer? :)
A recent poll of humans found they gave either these two answers:
1.) If I am in charge, then a dictatorship.
2.) If not, then democracy is fine.
