    The point where Star Wars totally lost me was when it turned out C3PO was fucking built by Darth Vader when he was a kid. I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief anymore. I loved the original three movies when I was a kid, but damn, it’s completely left me behind at this point.

      I recommend seeing the sequels, if only to make the prequels look halfway decent by comparison… The third especially is a dumpster fire.

          I think it’s worth watching just to witness the absurdity. It’s like going to a bad horror movie - if you’re expecting to be scared, you’ll be disappointed, but if you go into it rooting for the zombies, it can be fun

            This might be the comment that gets me to watch it. I’ve been holding off on some preconceived notion of it further wrecking my memories of the original movies. At this point, it hardly matters. Low expectations it is!

      I left phantom menace disappointed but hopeful.

      Clone wars opens with Anakin and Obi wan talking about a better movie they didn’t make.

      I left revenge of the sith convinced that’s not how it actually happened, that the last three movies weren’t actually canon, but like, a story someone told about Darth Vader centuries after the fact.

      Like all the stories about King Arthur, all different.
