I asked this on here because I was out of options. This was not the only place I put this survey. It was originally for anyone, but I had so many replies for 4-6 that I needed to narrow it to 1-3. Clearly, it was worth it because I at least got one for 1-3. I understand that this site is for the original trilogy, however, it served its purpose.

Thank you everyone for your answers! They were really insightful and useful. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to fill this out.

Going to be kind of hard to find someone on ORIGINALTrilogy.com who saw the prequels first.

 

Sorry. I realize I am limiting my audience. I myself didn't watch them in that order. I originally was asking everyone, but so few people were answering that they watched the prequels first that I did not have enough information on that side. I'd definitely be interested in hearing your answers, though.

I really need helpful answers as my paper needs to be typed. However, thanks for the laughs.

Thank you for agreeing to take this survey for my research paper. All of the questions in this survey require more than a yes/no answer; however, it is up to you how in depth you would like to go. If you feel more strongly about a certain question than another, you can certainly spend less time on the question you are less interested in. The longer the answers, the better, so don't feel like you have to shorten anything you are passionate about.
This is a 20 question survey. I'm letting you know beforehand because it is somewhat longer than other surveys; however, you DO NOT have to go into much depth if you do not want to. Simply answering the questions will work if you are pressed for time.
Please note that your name will not appear anywhere in my research paper. Thank you very much for participating in this survey. Also, this survey is specifically for the Star Wars FILMS ONLY. Anyone who has read books, comics, etc: please try not to be biased by other sources than the movies as I am only researching the movie for this particular research paper. Thank you once again!
