I couldn't be less interested. And I know I am in the minority re; veneration for the Star Wars universe. I liked it as a kid. Loved it, in fact. But I just don't think those films hold up. Empire Strikes Back is a decent stand-alone story. But it is sandwiched between two pieces of sh*t. The acting across all three of the first films sucks, starting with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. The three follow-up films were absolute dreck. They couldn't have been worse.
There are many examples of old films that are timeless. In my opinion, the Star Wars franchise is not among them.
The Seven year old in me takes great offense. The ten year old less so.(I remembering arguing that Darth Vader was lying about being Luke's father, because - ya that guy is evil..) The thirteen year old was annoyed that they put teddy bears in a movie so they could sell them as toys, and we are not even going to talk about episode 1. It never happened. Just like I tell my kids aliens ended with the second movie, highlander never had a sequel and Indiana Jones ends with movie three.
I loved Star Wars, bad acting and all. Still do. (play the old vector arcade game and yes, and I SWEAR it was programmed to give you the force in certain games and you can do no wrong) Because it was the myth they were telling that mattered, not really how well it was told. And now then , well, homer it won't be.
Star Wars is still a guilty pleasure for me, but as for the rest-- I prefer the Robot Chicken Star wars episodes to the real thing. (and those are hilarious)
Matter of fact, this pretty much sums up my opinion of the Star Wars Saga as it evolved
Robot Chicken - Star Wars - No Luke, I am your father. That's impossible.Look, if you are not going to take this seriously, I'm out.
