Happy Star Wars Day!
May the Fourth be with y'all.
I'll be celebrating by reading a little more of Heir to the Empire and watching one of the films tonight (Episode III, most likely).
Anyone else have plans?

Introducing my three year old to episodes four and five. Good times.

For the love of all that is good and pure in this world please do not introduce him to 1-3. Start with 4 and never speak of the others.
I'm counting on you and so is the future of humanity.

In my house, we honor Machete order. 4, 5, 2, 3, 6. You'll notice something is missing there...
2
Completely my point of view... but as someone who grew up after the first three movies came out I have always struggled a little bit understanding the storyline of the whole series. So when I have children I am most definitely going to start from the chronological beginning because thats how stories are supposed be told.
2
No! Then you rob them of the biggest mind-fuck of the saga! "Luke... I am your father"!
2
OK. Please don't hate me for this, but I plan on showing my kids all of them in numbered order. That first one is so awful, but it's got a lot of kid-appeal to it. I figure my daughter might get a kick out of Jar Jar (shudder).
My favorite is episode 4, and I bet you she'll like that one the least. I bet her two favs will be episodes 1 and 6.
Personal opinion again: Although episode 4 is my favorite, I openly agree that 5 is the actual best movie by far.
2
I won't hate you for this, however I might have to put a few bounties on you until I feel better about this whole thing...
2
Sigh... I don't have any of the movies at all. I grew up watching the movies. Oh well......
2
3 and 6 year olds have just enjoyed IV. Will be firing up V after the Q&A and some dinner.
2
Watching episode 3? Bro... We need to talk.
I'm so purist, I'm watching my THX VHS Hope, Empire and Jedi because I refuse to watch or buy any of the DVD/Bluray stuff. Episodes 1-3 never happened.
May the fourth be with you as well.

Han shot first.
2
My theory goes that Han has a little bit of mitochlorians in him and there has some minor Jedi abilities. For instance his ability to maneuver and fire the gun in the millennium falcon. Also because he sensed that Guido was about to fire that's why he fired because he knew Guido would shoot first. There's something else to the theory but I cannot recall it right now...
2
Fuck everything about mitochlorians. I hate they added that in.
There was no reason to explain the force in scientific terms.
1
Episode 1 was garbage, but I enjoyed the other two.
I assume you'll be ignoring the JJ Abrams films.
1
In all seriousness, II and III didn't bother me story wise. It was the acting and the little kid stuff such as Yoda jumping around like some sort of goram magic show. These guys put it all in perspective. http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/star-wars/
I'll give Abrams a shot. He didn't murder Star Trek and I think he'll make Star Wars, not the Star Wars Kids Special that was everything else after Phantom Menace.

I can NOT understand how all these people here are saying Clones (ep 2) didn't bother them! That is by far my most hated one!!
2
More than Phantom?
2
Clones was sooooo boring. I seriously did not know what was going on the first or second time I saw it.
1
Yoda looked awesome. He was younger once, ya know.
1
Yes, but the power of the Force is embodied in Yoda's physical stature. Luke was looking for this great warrior and he got this little green dude. Not to mention the Emperors disdain for the Lightsaber. They're what he calls a "Jedi Weapon". Why the hell did he even have one in the first place?
I get more excitement out of watching Luke go to town on Vader than the preplanned choreography of those other movies.
Sorry... I'm pretty passionate about Star Wars. Don't mean to shit on your opinion.

I have the trilogy on LASER DISC. Too bad my LD player has been dead for 14 years...
1
Hahahahahahahhahahahaha. LASER DISC. My brother in law had one of those. I laugh at him every time I see for it. That and HD DVD he had too. Hahahahahaha
1
I got my first laser disc player in 1990.
I was watching Hi Def movies 10 years before any of my friends.
Laser Discs were also usually released a few months before VHS (due to VHS rental laws). I loved being the only kid in school with Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park.
1
I'd ebay one just to have those. I just need to save my money instead at the moment. But they will be mine. Oh yes.. They will be.
1
LD players were VERY unreliable and rather difficult to repair. I wouldn't trust a laser disc player as dad as I could throw it. I remember 10 years ago looking them up on eBay and not a single one would guarantee it would work.
1
Laserdisc, holy. Shit.
1
The way you wrote this sentence, you are calling a type of optical media holy. You also seem to say, "Shit" by itself. I think what you meant was, "Laserdisc! Holy Shit!".
1
I'll bide my time until I have my revenge of the fifth...
2
Nothing like sipping tequila in your Emperor robe.
1
Wait wait wait... when did this Star wars day become a thing? Why May 4th?
1
May the fourth be with you. Play on words.
