Star Wars?

Ghost of V · « **on:** July 11, 2014, 07:59:34 PM »

Should I watch Star Wars? I haven't seen them since I was a kid. Its massive popularity always turned me off, but I have been browsing some of the Star Wars wikis and I am impressed with the large expanded universe and lore of the series. Are they worth watching? If so, in what order should I watch them?

Please do not confuse the Star Wars Expanded Universe with the Star Wars movies.

Star Wars movies are classic space romps. Avoid the first 3, and you're good.

Also lol wtf how haven't you seen Star Wars?

Watch the theatrical cuts of the original trilogy, realise that it was a decent trilogy, then avoid everything else bearing the Star Wars name.

Yeah, that's a good point. Anything post VHS versions have minor changes that either don't do much for the movie or are a detriment.

Is the newer trilogy really that bad?

Don't do it. I watched Star Wars and now I have IBS.

Watch Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure. All other Star Wars films are shit.

False, the remastered laser disk versions were amazing!

Also, the Clone Wars animated series was decent.

qft

If you are going to watch the prequels then make sure you follow each viewing with the Red Letter Media reviews so you can find some humor in the train wreck you just subjected yourself to.

It's basically the story of how a whiny kid grew up to be a whiny adult and then completely changed his life focus to start killing innocent people on a whim based on a few nightmares. Lucas managed to drag this out to three feature-length films.

I've heard how bad they are, but its part of the canon and I will watch it because of that. Grievous was bad ass if I remember correctly.

If you consider a Jedi killing cyborg (why I don't know) who coughs a lot to be bad ass.
And he dies in a pretty shit way.

Also, watch the clone wars mini series from cartoon network. Not the nickelodeon one. Its awesome and fills in so many gaps as well as portray anakin's shift to evil WAY better.

There's a difference between the Clone Wars series on Nick and Cartoon Network? I thought they were the same series, just aired on different networks.

The prequels aren't the worst movies ever by any stretch of the imagination, but they're definitely a case of the bad outweighing the good. From a critical eye, they're actually fascinating to watch, almost as a "what not to do" guide to filmmaking.

Nope. The cartoon network one was first. Its from the same director as Dexter and Samurai Jack. Its a series of 3 minute episodes. Watch it.

Its set between episode 2 and 3. So you should watch those two first.
