Slashdot Mirror
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."
I think I speak for the rest of slashdot when I say that you are alone. Remember the Nightmare on Elm Street series and other slash'em classics? I, like everyone else I know, was watching them at 7 years old. Except for one of my friends whose parent's were Right Wing Christian Nutjobs and she didn't watch anything R rated until she was 16. The kids will be fine. /is right wing and christian, but the people I'm talking about were true nutjobs. Their child is still recovering from brainwashing and might just forgive them after a couple years of therapy.
