Being born in early 1989, and thus being 10 years old when Episode I came out, I have fond memories of going out on a great summer day in July and watching Episode I for the first time! It was great... I obviously know that the prequels are poorly written pieces of... ahh you know... but I'm now permanently nostalgic to the years 1996 to 2003... that includes (almost primarily Episodes I and II!)
The first Star Wars flick I've ever watched was in fact, in 1995 and at that time I only knew very little of Star Wars (I saw a bunch of ads for it somehow, I'm not completely sure).. and I wanted to get the "one with the walking things on the snow". So I went to the local video rental department, and my dad unfortunately mixed up Star Wars with Star Trek and told me that there are hundreds of episodes from it, and thus it would be pretty hard to find that particular one... so, the VHS covers to the old Star Wars trilogy were the ones with the red titling and white outlining.. you know those... and I think ROTJ's had a picture of an AT-AT on it (you know the one shown a brief second transporting Vader and Luke on the forest moon), and some AT-STs, so I figured that's the one! I watched it, I loved it, I didn't care it was the third film, I rented all the other ones they had left, and when the 199 special editions came out, I didn't even know what the fuss was about... but I didn't see it in theatres for some odd reason.
My point here is, I'm nostalgic to both Star Wars trilogies! But primarily the prequels... Of course I love the OT much much much more than I do the prequels, but I watch them (the PT) oftentimes to get reminded of the really cool times when it was really fun to fight with plastic hasbro lightsabers (even outside the theatre in the RAIN after watching Episode II) and make stupid Star Wars movies that are really cheesy! Interestingly enough, TACO BELL's tacos remind me the most of Star Wars, believe it or not!
Anyone else feel this way? well, anyone else below 20 at least...
