Ok, I’ll start with the original. Thanks guys.

The only reason I even considered R1 is because I think that R1 nowadays is an easier movie to watch than the original, especially in this case with a girl as protagonist (since I’d be showing it to my girlfriend; and more girls in general in the movie). However, I have noted in previous viewings that it doesn’t have “introductory qualities” like the original has, so it doesn’t function as well as the introduction to the SW saga to someone new. Plus it’s so different from all the others that the first time viewer might find some recurring things in the rest of the saga odd.

Again, thanks guys.

Would YOU watch R1 before ANH ?

I would, but I’ve watched ANH countless times. Introducing someone to the franchise with R1, even if back to back viewings with ANH, is not really the best idea.

There’s a thread for that show.

JEDIT: Wait, someone please tell me they didn’t do it in more than one show.

They did it in more than one show.

Thanks?

Yeah I was told that once before.

Surviving getting cut in half is one thing. Getting a saber through the chest is quite another. It’s not like he’s going to come back as a head in a jar on a robot body.

Maul has been in RotJ all this time…

He did die on Tattooine. You might be on to something here.

I’m of two minds on the Maul thing. I think bringing him back was a dumb idea and I’d never have done it if I was a showrunner, but once they’d done it they did go on to do some genuinely interesting things with him.

I agree.

I agree except for the part where I’ve never watched the show so I can just stick to my opinion that it’s a dumb idea.

Wasn’t it Geroge’s idea?

Most of that show came from George’s ideas.

But that’s the key: they’re just his ideas. Not his writing or direction.

And? It was asked if it was his idea and the answer is “yes, most of that show came from George’s ideas”. Let’s not bash someone for the sake of bashing. And I don’t even think he’s a bad director.
