A little offtopic. I just saw the three reviews of the prequel films by Red Letter Media. Holy shit, now I love the OT even more, despite starting loving them since just a few years ago (I always liked them, but I didn't LOVE them).

It is funny that a 21 years old person like myself, who never saw the original films in their unaltered state on cinemas, can love three old movies for the same reasons why people loved then in '77, '80 and '83: character interaction, good pacing, smart use of elements for film development like lightsaber duels and combats and real-looking special effects. When I see a jedi using a lightsaber in a prequel film for the nth time and fake looking, glossy spaceships a little part of myself dies. I guess the original films are atemporal: everytime I see the rebel ship and the imperial stardestroyer at the start of Star Wars my mind blows.

Thank you guys. You are my heroes.
