Adventures in Raising the Next Generation of Original Star Wars Fans
Time

My son was five when The Phantom Menace came out. I made sure he had the opportunity to see the OOT before that and he loved it. I had no reason to keep the prequels from him as we watched them together in the cinema, not knowing how good or bad they would be.

Despite being a prequel generation kid, he is now 17 and knows which Star Wars movies are good and which are not. I think the "no prequels in my house" stance is going too far with it. It's fair that you don't want to buy the prequels for your own collection, but you wouldn't say no if they specifically asked for a prequel movie for their birthday or something would you? :(

The only time they will enjoy JarJar Binks, robots who say "Roger, Roger" and possibly identify with crappy child actors is when they are children. You can't give it back later.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

Drew Struzan's backwards special edition art. What the hell happened there? I'm thinking he just did what he was told? Jabba, fair enough, but how could the guy who did all those Indy posters get Harrison Ford's f@#$ing head flipped? Maybe he knew how George was screwing the movies and decided to reflect that in the artwork. He did get Empire pretty much right. Crappy special edtion art for crappy special editions.

For reference:

HI-Res Poster Art
Time

Hi msycamore. I've no idea why there was a lack of interest in your hi-res Star Wars, Empire and Raiders stuff. I am trying to improve my collection of digital artwork but I always see custom DVD covers that look better than what I have. I'm afraid I don't really have the skills to colour-correct either, but if you have made these available anywhere I would be eternally grateful for copies... I haven't found a source for the ocp scans either, any tips?

*edit*  got a few anh posters from the link in satanika's post at higher quality than I had.

That is pronounced "hyper-bowl" right? What a cool word! No clue what it means though. I am imagining a bowl that stirs its own contents? If not then I am totally going to patient that!

;)

I actually do know what what hyperbole is, thank you very much! I am all educated and stuff. Wait, maybe killk64 wasn't actually addressing that post at me... )

Did you also misspell patent on purpose, o edumacated one? ;)

I use to think Phantom Menace was the worst of the prequels but I'm starting to think it is the best. I think Hayden is worse than Jake Lloyd and JarJar put together.

Really now, and what do you call Ric Olie.

I have been given the gift of Ric by Jay and Moth3r.  This is a known fact.

Wait, What? You mean he's a...

The illusion is shattered!
