For a Star Wars newbie, start with Phantom Menace or A New Hope?

start with 456, then 123. 1 and 2 are there to provide info. 4, 5, and 6 are overrated and Luke is the worst Jedi ever, hes gay and is never really a Jedi, no really he is gay. vader makes 4,5,and 6 watchable and without him and Sidious and Yoda there would be no point.

3 is epic and the acting is great despite what others say. 3 is meant to be emotional and dark.

3 is absolutely horrible, so much stupid Anakin and Obi Wan "humorous battle banter". The only good side is they cut out the cheesy contrived love dialogue between anakin and Padme but really it's just as bad as attack of the clones.


Also-DID YOU FORGET ABOUT THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE SERIES HAN SOLO?

[QUOTE=Lebowsky]What game is that? Is it out yet?[/QUOTE]

It's called The Old Republic, an MMORPG from the makers of Knights of the Old Republic. Release date is TBA, but right now they are saying it should be ready in about a year.

Supposedly, it's EA's most expensive project of all time. So even though I'm not into the MMO thing, I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Start with episode 4, pretend that episode 1-3 never existed.

I really liked the original trilogy when I was younger, and remember being really excited upon hearing that episode 1 was being made. This was before I had the internet though, so news wasn't exactly as easy to find. And despite the fact that I wanted to see it, I was not going to camp outside a movie theater to go see it because I'm not a nerd (and I was like 12), so I waited for the buzz to die down. I hate sitting in packed theaters anyway. By then, I was receiving word from friends that it was rather lacking. I eventually ending up watching part of it either on bootleg or when it came out. I don't think I ever actually finished it. Nor parts 2 or 3. Despite the fact that the originals were some of my favorite movies.

However, I own the two direct to dvd (or maybe direct to Sci-Fi channel) Return Of The Living Dead movies, along with all the direct to dvd Hellraiser movies too, and plenty of other shitty movies that shit on the remains of a once great franchise. Or just suck in general. So either I like shitty horror movies more than I like shitty Star Wars movies, or the new trilogy was just that bad.

I'm not into MMORPGs either, it's a shame that game is one of those. It looks sick, and I loved both of "Knights of the old republic".

It's essentially KOTOR online. However, from the game footage that's been shown, it doesn't look much better than the original KOTOR.

I'm extra hype for the game after I suffered through 2-3 years of Star Wars Galaxies before WoW came out.

[QUOTE=Showtime] The best parts of those films were the lightsaber fights.

That was pretty much the only saving grace for all three films...Watching Yoda get down for the very first time was damn awesome.

I think all of the Star Wars episodes were good. Original 4, 5, 6 were better overall, but 1, 2, 3 and not as terrible as people have posted here have said. Maybe I enjoyed all of them because I am a die-hard Star Wars fan.. I watched all 6 of the episodes so many times that I lost count (only episode 1 I watched 2 times, everything else was multiple times)

I agree; the new trilogy clearly isn't as good, but they're definitely not as bad as you would think from these posts. The main problem I have is Jake Lloyd in the Phantom, and Portman-Hayden love scenes in the final two. Better chemistry between the two would have put them in line with the originals. Ford and Fischer were a perfect match in addition to having most of the comedy being perfectly delivered from Ford.

Phantom Menace was weak and flat in my opinion. Back in the day I enjoyed it a bit, but looking back now, it IS a bit on the boring side. Darth Maul was the coolest thing to come out of that one...and even then they killed him off pretty quickly.


I didnt mind episode 2, and 3 though. The acting though, was very, very hard to swallow.

Here are some really, really good reviews of the prequels. It's pretty clear all of them sucked (including episode 3)

You didn't watch them. He brings up a lot of interesting points
