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.

What the heck is a binary load lifter?

The load is either lifted or it isn’t.

It’s very similar to a moister vaporator.

No. A binary loadlifter is a droid, used to lift heavy loads, that makes use of a binary programming language similar to that used in moister vaporators.

No, it was a pretty good joke, and you tried to use facts on it.

I would in a R1 and ANH only double feature. But if doing a trilogy viewing, (or especially if introducing someone to the films), i would use release order.

I agree and the one of the problems of of going PT R1 OT is that in ROtS you find out luke and Leia are twins which kind of partly ruins OT.

OH. Okay, the reference didn’t click with me for some reason.

Unless you have PT edits that cut OT spoilers, which I do. But I would still recommend initially watching the films in release order anyway.

Yeah that’s definitely the biggest reveal that the PT spoils…

There’s a thread for that show.

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

well, it was made ‘canon’ so to speak, so Darth Maul showed up in several shows. or at least two?

JEDIT: and i think it was silly to bring him Back.
