Stangers are just friends you've never met~
Discuss the Star Wars series here. Your favorite movie, least favorite, what you didn't like, what you did like, you favorite scenes, etc.

(Please please please don't tell me I'm the only Star Wars fan)

I like all the episodes, with 2, 6, and 3 in the lead. It's awesome how the Ewoks defeat the Empire's troops.

I have also fallen in love with Lego Star Wars, but that belongs somewhere else.

And Jawas rock.
 
how you can place AotC and RotS above the original trilogy boggles the mind :( TPM is the only good prequel episode D:

anyway, fairly diehard fan here; somewhere in the vicinity of 150 novels, most of the halfway decent games, few of the comics, etc etc. I don't even know where to start discussing it :(
 
Star Wars is the epic.

Everything opaltiger said applies to me :D

Also if you have JKA, get the MBII mod for it (it's free and it's epic fun)
 
I'm not that much of a fan, but I'll watch the films if they're on.
I agree with the majority of diehard fans by saying the originals were best.
I hardly know anything about Star Wars, and yet I know enough to understand almost every spoof made of it.

I just feel saddened by the fact that I wasn't born at the right time to fully appreciate them. For instance, when they first came out and Darth Vader sai his famous line concerning who was who's father everybody must have been like 'omfg no wai!' But when I saw it everybody already knew so it hardly had any impact. I wish I could just forget things about stories so that I could read/watch/play them again and getting the full feeling of surprise each time.

And who doesn't like the Ewoks?
 
As I said before in this thread, I'm not massively into Star Wars.

But I absolutely recommend Andor, its reputation is not unearned. It's probably the best series (not just Star Wars) I've watched for years. Not that I watch that many new series, but still.

I watched it a few months ago but I've been thinking about it again the past couple of days (possibly because I watched Chernobyl last week, and that has at least three actors in common with Andor).
I've had the music from when Mon Mothma dances at her daughter's wedding stuck in my head for the past couple of days.
 
Andor is really good! I like a lot how it explores the rebellion and the Empire in a much more grounded and realistic and complex way than the more straight fantasy approach of the main films while staying very true to the original aesthetic and sense of the world of Star Wars. And in the process we get some legitimately interesting contemplations on tyranny and resistance.

I was surprised when at the end it turned out Cassian had a pregnant girlfriend waiting for him the whole time - I had thought that the point was to explore how he got to the point of participating in a suicide mission, and that ultimately he would have nothing to lose, but we end up with him very much having something to lose. It's kind of a shame Rogue One came first - the film is not nearly as good or nuanced as the series. I kind of would have liked to see how the Andor writers would have written the movie after the end of the series.
