    Im more confused by flat out haters, most who havent seen it yet and are crapping on it already. I get they might have hype fatigue, understandable in this situation..but see it before you cap on it & make an ass of yourself

    May I recommend a rental? You can probably still find it on VHS, old timer.

    Even worse. A thread about non-existent tour dates, and hotels booked all over the U.S., months in advance, to secure a good room, for these non-existent shows! Ha

    Anyways, As a kid I was never a big fan of Star Wars. I watched the Original 3, they were good, but I didn't go apeshit like a lot of my friends. I never watched 1 minute of the next 3 that were released(Sith? Clones? Whatever). Never will watch a minute of them.

    But the wife and I have decided to stay in this weekend, and once again watch those 1st 3 releases. Actually it will more or less be like watching them for the 1st time. Its been 40 years and I truly don't remember much about Darth, Luke, and the rest of them. Then we plan on going to see the new movie over the Holidays. I am sure it will be outstanding.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Don't waste your time with that prequel garbage. If you do, the last 20 minutes of the 3rd one is all you need.

    Like I said, I never watched 1 second of those 3 prequels, and I never will. But we decided to make a batch of popcorn(or 3) this weekend, become 1 with the couch, and watch Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi. Should be fun.....Maybe.
    Haha

    Haha! Your a bit older than me Speedy. I was 5 when Jedi came out, so I spent the rest of the 1980s pretending to have a lightsaber at every family function. I blame my cousin David, who is 4 years older than me. We eventually switched over to re-enacting Oliver Stone's Platoon in the back yard with sticks as M-16s. He always made me play a damn medic and never allowed my sister and other cousin to have guns when they played the Viet-Kong.

    My Star Wars memory?
    My father was a lithographer. Back when there were actually 5-6 color printing presses, the size of semis. One day he came home with some uncut sheets of Star Wars cards(equivalent to baseball cards). I remember bringing one sheet to school, and a bunch of the kids going nuts. 30 years later, and my high school reunion, one of my classmates brought up those cards. He thought they were worth thousands. Ha! After doing some research, I found out they were worth about $30. I still have those cards somewhere at my folks house. I just found it funny that 30 years later, the kid remembered those cards.

    Dweeb holiday? Cos being a pearl jam fan is somehow better and not at all as consuming oddball behaviour as being a Star Wars fan..at all
