We(as in anyone who was familiar with the OT before the prequels were released) all went into the prequels knowing exactly were it was heading and what was going to happen.
The original trilogy(as it unfolded from 77' to 83') was completely the opposite.
But it is always interesting to see the reaction of someone who has never seen any of the SW films----and how they react to the prequels:
That’s right. I have no problem admitting it. Here’s the thing. I’ve never really been into to the Sci-Fi genre. I’m sure all you Star Wars fans are probably cursing me right now.
Now, when I decided to watch them I decided to watch them in order. So, last night I watched the 3 prequels. Yup. Three Star Wars movies in a row. And you know what? I actually liked them.
