LIES!!!  ALL LIES!!!

Well, I don't know, actually.  I've never actually eaten dog food before...  I take it you have?

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Cristal Connors: I've had dog food.
Nomi Malone: You have?
Cristal Connors: Mmm-hmmm. Long time ago. Doggy Chow... I used to love Doggy Chow.
Nomi Malone: I used to love Doggy Chow, too!

From one of the most lambasted films of all time, which still makes it a heck of a lot better than the PT.

 

Time is running out for the Rebels. Antilles upcourt to Skywalker. He’s being paced by Darth Va— the bone-jarring pick by Solo! He came out of nowhere! Skywalker’s open from way outside, he launches at the buzzer... Good! It’s good! The Rebels win on a sensational buzzer beater by Luke Skywalker! Let’s take another look at that last shot. He just does get it off in time. Wow, what a shot. That’s why they call him Luke Legend.

 

That may be the most exciting battle I have ever been privileged to broadcast. Certainly the most dramatic finish. We’ll get you an update on the Artoo Detoo injury situation in just a moment. Right now let’s go courtside where SuperShadow is waiting with Chewbacca.

The PT may have been better if it had nothing to do with the OT.

 This is from WAY back but it sparked my imagination.

Imagine if the PT was an exciting tale of the fall of the Republic about all new characters, having adventures on all new worlds, and Obi-Wan, Skywalker, and Palpatine were all minor characters, like General Reiken, or Wedge.

That coulda bene fun.

However, for someone who's never before seen Star Wars, I'd have to say that there is only one way to show it to them:
  1. Star Wars (1977 or 1981 version)
  2. Empire (1980 version)
  3. Jedi (1983 version)
  4. Whatever the hell you want to watch after that, if any at all.


And my #4 means that, if after watching those three, they want to watch the prequels, great, go for it.  If they want to watch the 1997 or 2004 SE's, go for it.  If they want to watch the Clone Wars cartoon series (either one), go for it.

My point is, the originals should be seen first by anyone who's never seen the films.  That's how I watched them, and that's the only way they could be watched for 14 years.

Saying you should watch them in any other order is like saying you should read Brian Herbert's Dune prequels before you read Frank Herbert's original novel.  It just doesn't work.

Well said.

Indeed.  That is the the only logical method.
