Personally, I haven't even watched Star Wars since I retired my CRT and VCR a few years back. Sad, really. I used to re-watch the OT every once in a while.
I'd gone about 10 years Star Wars free before I found this place.
Hopefully my daughters will love it and it will be the beginning of a new era
That's what did it for me. To quote another forum member, it's all fun and games until little Timmy comes home wearing a Jar Jar backpack. The movies really are magical, and they come right back to you just the way you left them. Except, you know, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher look like these young kids now, and you're positive they used to look like grownups...
and (extra hopefully) maybe someday Disney will decide to clean up and release the unaltered trilogy. Hard to tell. Always in motion is the future...
Have to go with Tom Petty over Yoda on this one. The future ain't what it used to be.
