Popularity of the Star Wars movies, according to twitter
I retweeted the OT with my personal and the SWR account, I'd like to think it helped.

sure is interesting to see AOTC come in last. 10 years ago, there was hype that SW was on a comeback. and LightSaber yoda was probably the only pop-culture moment the PT had until 2005.

always had a feeling that AOTC would fade with time but I didn't think it would sink this low.

without soliciting feedback, my only theory is that the pathetic love story killed the movie for everyone. and with 2 movies that wasted time, people reallly got mad at AOTC because there was no buffer room to build the characters.

The other thing thats interesting is how overwhelmingly fast it took the OT to get these retweets compared to the PT. Its not even a contest.

I don't have twitter, but I assume that little kids during the time of the PT would make up a good bulk of twitter users.
