let me ask you a question.

how in the name of Jesus Christ is a 4 year old supposed to know about taxation problems, midiclhrions, bullshit complex story points in order to watch a film. my 8 year old cousin did not have a singly clue what ep1 was about, darth maul probably was the only thing he thought was cool. over all he hated ep1 and ep2. he did like ep3

If you have just watched the most complex story in the first film of a saga, how in god's name are you supposed to understand the rest?

but however he understood quite a lot of what happened in star wars, empire and jedi. knew about the force, blah blah and Empire is his favourie of the lot.
