For some of us, Return Of The Jedi is ‘our’ film just as Star Wars is Anchorhead’s; I was taken to see it upon its original run as a five year old, so its childishness was a positive.
Even thirty years later, I can’t quite let it go.
That was my point about saying you get here when you get here. What you saw at five had the same effect that a related film had on me at fifteen (or at least a similar emotional connection).
We’re fans of a forty year old franchise consisting of seven films (soon to be nine), hundreds of novels, radio shows, TV shows, comic strips, comic books, and games. The diversity of characters, storylines, and tone is such that there is something for everyone.
What may seem like my narrow focus to some, is actually a deep world to me. Two films, a radio version, about ten novels, and the newspaper comic strips provide me with enough of the Star Wars universe to last a year or more at a time.
Same with Batman, which is my other (and much bigger) love. I can hardly quantify how big my Batman universe is (or even keep up with it). Also like Star Wars, I only have two of the nine films.
Plenty for everyone. If you dig Return, put it on and escape into it.
