^That doesn’t sound very hard to do.
5 years is 33% of your lifetime.
So? What does that have to do with it? Spending the rest of his teenage life not watching three specific terrible films doesn’t exactly sound like a heavy chore. I probably won’t watch the PT again for even more time than that.
(I would also assume that “watching the PT” refers to actually sitting down in front of a screen and purposefully watching the entirety of the film; not just watching a 2 min. YouTube clip to remember something, etc.)
5 years seems like a much longer time when you’re a kid.

Eh… I still don’t know why it would be difficult to do. I don’t think I’ve watched through ROTS in about five years.

This poor chap came back from his holidays to find his Star Wars collection had been stolen. I only have a small collection (especially compared to his) and I’d be heartbroken if I lost it. I can only imagine how awful he must be feeling. Let’s hope he finds it and the thief is caught. Everyone keep your eyes peeled if you’re browsing eBay!

Darths & Droids is currently doing the bit from ROTJ where Leia meets Wicket. The Ewoks are presented as Randians (ie, Objectivist free-market ideologues who rail against stormtrooper “Communist scum”).
Which is hilarious on multiple levels if you know what GL planned for the Yavin scenes in the 1974 rough draft.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
I heard that GL wanted the Endor battle to be a parody of the Vietnam War, with the Stormtroopers representing America and the Ewoks representing the heroic Viet Kong. He also meant for Darth Vader to represent Richard Mo Nixon and the Emperor to represent Betty Ford.

I realize this is a joke, but I could actually see George Lucas trying to say he was going for that.
In all seriousness, I did actually here that it was a sympathetic metaphor for the Viet Kong vs. U.S. soldiers.

Like I said, it doesn’t surprise me. I can see it, though my understanding was it’s just as much “wanting to present low-tech uncivilized creatures beating the high-tech Empire”
“There’s nothing to see. I use to live here, you know.”
“You’re gonna die here, you know. Convenient.”
Shouldn’t Han already know that? I guess that’s what Luke meant as in “we’ve both been to this planet, after all”, but the way he delivers it makes it sound like this should be news to Han. And joking or not, what is convenient about dying in the same place that you lived in at some point in your life among several other places? Also did Han really believe he was gonna die right then and there? I guess death is only a serious matter if it involves getting frozen first.
I don’t know, its one of those lines that makes sense if you don’t think about it but its kind of amusing how little thought went into it.

That always disturbed me too. I guess maybe it’s assumed that Han was just passing through and rarely spent time on the planet. According to the SE though Han frequently met up in hanger bays to chat with a terrible-looking, fake, cartoon Jabba the Hutt.

That sounds like an incredible experience, Mr. Frink Computer. I’m sure they’re having the time of their lives.

It’s just gallows humor between two friends.
Where were you in '77?
In all seriousness, I did actually here that it was a sympathetic metaphor for the Viet Kong vs. U.S. soldiers.
In The Making of a Saga documentary, Lucas said he was influenced by his early involvement with Apocalypse Now, in having a primitive culture that overcomes a technological one. (Which was going to be Wookiees originally.) Nothing was said about it meaning anything more than that.

I know, I guess just enjoy being miserable about things that are perfectly fine from time to time. Gotta get it all out. Gotta call something a Mary Sue.

I hope you and your family have are having a great time, and aren’t anywhere near the protests in Anaheim today. You could have told me you were going to be in So Cal though. 😉

I seem to recall some kind of Star Wars training event for kids at Disney Land over 15 years ago.

That makes sense. I actually heard it from a friend in high school who insisted that George Lucas was a communist. He was a bit weird though.

So I heard a parent relay this great fan theory from their kid.
The reason Luke was hesitant to accept the Lightsaber from Rey is because it’s actually the first step in her Jedi training. “How do you properly give someone a lightsaber? Clearly not with the blade end pointing right at them.”

Can’t be true, Kylo had Jedi training and he didn’t know how to properly hand over a lightsaber, either.
