Heh - what I like about my mind is, it's very eager to relive movies and can forget what came before, or after :D

If I watch the Matrix or something... the first hour, I don't know the mystery behind the Matrix... I don't know that Commander Lock is somewhere down there... I don't know that Morpheus is a deluded crackpot.
My mind just blends it out when I'm watching it :)

Same with SW, I know what happened in the prequels, but at the same time I can watch any of the classic movies and my mind gladly pretends like the other stuff doesn't exist.
Vader isn't Leia's father, he's just a brute pointing a finger at her in that white corridor. The Emperor isn't called Palpatine, he also wasn't a slimy politician once, he's just a mythical dark wizard emanating power and evil.

So I guess I'm kinda lucky that I'm not bothered by whatever came after or before the part I like.
But some parts in the prequels are just unbearable :D
