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.

THE PT films bothered me too, but I'm much happier for having seen them. I'm not happy about what was done in them, but I'm happy I know that stuff and have some understanding of it. You can't know the prequels from having seen just TPM, because TPM is way better than the other two. The awfulness of AOTC and ROTS really needs to be seen. And some amusement can be gleaned from it. I'm into studying the prequels and their faults and I have reached the point where I can get quite a bit of amusement out of lines like "You underestimate my power!" and that crap about the high ground. Better to know something than to not know.

Good avatar, btw.
