Star Wars: Love it or Hate it? About This Page:

[lukeandbrookesmom]

I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies not at least by sitting down and watching them straight through. I've never been able to wrap my brain around anything remotely sci-fi. But, my DH is a huge Sci-fi fan and Luke is in with all things Star Wars! His Kindergarten 100 day project was even "100 days of Star Wars" I've learned quite a bit about Star Wars in the past year from Luke and from hearing the movies playing 'around' me

The three original ones were the best and out of those, I like Return of the Jedi the best. The new 3 are okay - I'll watch them but when I hear the name Star Wars, I always think the original 3.

Been there--done that. I still love the first three movies. But I think its time to move on to other things!!! There are other Science Fiction books I would love to see turned into movies. like The Dancers At The End of Time trilogy--or the RiverWorld Series by Phillip Jose Farmer.

HUGE Star Wars fan here! I was just a kid when the first one (which would be Episode IV) came out. I had never seen anything like it! I pretty much spent the entire summer in the movie theater that year. I would always find someone (family member or friend) who hadn't seen it and talk them into taking me. I don't really care that much for the newer ones, although I will watch them everytime they are on. Yes, there is something about that music, too.

I can take them or leave them, but DH is a HUGE fan! I thought we were going to have to move into Star Tours the first time we ever went on it.

Love it, Love it, Love it!!! I loved Star Wars so much, that my uncle taped Star Wars as soon as it came on Prism for me(an old movie network), and someone gave me a bootlegged copy of Empire Strikes back---- When I was around 7yo--my mom finally came in my room and had a talk with me, and told me I wasn't allowed to watch Star Wars anymore. It was for boys, and I was getting a little too obsessive about it. I cried for a few weeks, and then my dad intervened. Thank goodness. My boys now share in my obsession and we're headed to our second year of Star Wars Weekends. BTW-- Check out my 5year old's birthday cake in my signature pic!!!!! The first movie I remember seeing at the theater was Star Wars (Episode IV)---- I still remember seeing the Death Star blow up--- I was 4yo. I actually love the most recent movies as well.

I love Star Wars!! Before I even saw A New Hope as a kid we had the audio tape version. I listened to it all the time so that by the time I actually saw the movie I could quote it. I was too young to see it in the theatres. Was able to catch the rest in the theatres though. I'm not a big fan of the last 3. Revenge of the Sith did redeem the first two though. I think the main reasons I didn't like the movies were:
1. Jar-Jar Binks....how annoying can you get?
2. Hayden Christensen....he's a horrible actor! I was actually happy to see him get completely maimed by Obi-Wan (played brilliantly by Ewan McGregor)

But I do like going to George Lucas Studios on the weekends and getting Starbucks Coffee!! That is fun.

Sorry...I've never watched any of the movies. BUT - I have visited the attractions at DL and WDW!

[Joanne929]

Yeah, I really enjoy Star Wars - the first trilogy especially (although, they're really the last 3 installments!).

My first crush (after Walter Cronkite) was on R2-D2, but my brother/nephew are the real SW nerds in the family (teachers expressed concern that my nephew was a bit OBSESSED.)

[DDuff]

The Star Wars from my youth are my favs. I had a huge crush on Luke growing up - I was much to good of a girl to like Han Solo he was much to dangerous I even like the new ones except the one with Jar Jar Binks - I thought that one was the worst of the bunch. As a side note my DD who is 14 has a movie marathon planned for this Saturday, she and a group of girlfriends plan to watch all 6 movies. Not sure how well that will work out but we did pick up plenty of popcorn, jones soda, sour sticks and fun dips. The sugar alone should keep them going.

I haven't gotten my tickets yet, but I told DBF that he could take me to the Star Wars exhibit for my birthday. That was what spurred our conversation in the first place. I can't wait to see it either. I was reading the article in the Star Tribune about it, and the exhibit looks really cool! Here is the link if you want to check it out: Tour 'Star Wars' exhibit with C-3PO
