I probably fall into the age range of the wet-behind-the-ears greenhorn SW fans, but I was raised on stories of my mom working at the Game Palace Theater and Arcade when Star Wars came out. She had to give me 'the talk' about how Vader could be Luke's father when Obi-Wan told Luke that Vader killed him ('Jedi lie and Sith tell the truth' is a lasting lesson from my childhood). She took me to see the prequels because I wasn't old enough to drive, but she raised me on the OT.
For reasons unknown to science, my mother likes Jar-Jar.
I don't know what to make of that.
