1. I'm never going to watch the second two prequels or the SEs.
Why is that? If you see them you'll understand better what went wrong with the prequels and what has happened to Star Wars. Those last two films are quite an eye-opener. They go wrong so horribly and in so many ways. I find it very interesting to analyze their fucked-upness and their mentality and mood. I think you could get much out of watching them and finding out what people here are talking about. Certainly, I think it is unfair to say ROTJ is similar to "the prequels", which indicates similarity to the dreadful later two prequels (along with the first), without having seen the two films you are comparing it to.
I am sorry but I believe it is better for him to not see them. Watching the prequels is like walking in your parents..... I am not going to finish that, we are adults here.
You basically ask yourself the same questions. "Why did I have to see that?" "Oh god my life is ruined." "I think I am going to be sick."
But really, I think it is better for Anchorhead to just end it with the OT. He is a happier guy for it. I wish I could be that way. But no, I am OCD, I have to see something complete. I love the Beatles, so I have all of there albums. I love Star Wars so I have them all. I wish I could love only one thing.
