I wonder how many silly kids are waiting for Episode IV to be released?

I have a friend whose older brother watched the originals a lot when she was a kid. Like most girls she didn't pay any attention, and says she didn't understand it. Now she has seen the PT and is a big fan of it, but doesn't bother to watch the originals because of memories that "they were hard to understand" (???????). It's extremely annoying to me, but I am trying to lead her to watch the OT. She doesn't have anything against it, just is lazy about it I guess. I know there are actually a lot of people out there like this. I've talked to them.


She thinks the OT is hard to understand and the prequels are easy to understand? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

The OT: boy meets droids, wizard, pirate and wookie. They save princess. Blow up space station. Go to ice world to hide. Boy meets muppet wizard. Pirate and Princess fall in love and get captured. Pirate gets frozen, boy fights evil masked man. Finds out evil masked man is his dad. The gang rescues the pirate. They have another space station to blow up. Meet up with a bunch of teddy bears. Boy faces evil masked man daddy. Tempted to become evil by old wrinled man. Evil masked man saves boy and becomes good again and then dies. Teddy bears help the good guys blow up shield, second space station blown up. They live happily ever after.

PT: Trade disputes, senate hearings, gambling on pod races. Slavery. Midichorians. Trade federation negotiations. Seperatists. Evil Sith Lord living a double life as a Senator and then the Chancelor of the Republic. Jedi Councel meetings. Hired assasins. Bounty hunter used to create clone army.


Yeah, I don't get it. I'm a girl...grew up watching them. I'll have to work on her a little harder. She wants to see them, but apparently needs a lot of explanation. My theory is that because she didn't pay attention to the OOT the first time around, then actually really WATCHED the PT, she is now confused. So much damage has been done...sometimes it's frustrating.
