Punchline

My mother is a woman, and my father is a little too old school for Star Wars, so I was not raised with the epicness as part of my childhood.

The first Star Wars movie I saw was episode 1: The Phantom Menace. At the time, I was 7 or 8 years old. I enjoyed the shit out of it, being the little kid I was, and Jar Jar Binks was hilarious. Anakin Skywalker was the coolest kid ever, and I thought myself a great Star Wars Fan.

I grew a bit older and watched Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. I enjoyed it even more, Yoda was hilarious and awesome, and there was cool clones that fought in a cool war.
Then I found the original trilogy at a flea market, and I bought them all and watched them.

My entire world trembled and fell apart as all meaning left it: I had lived this long without this epicness before my eyes? I watched them again and again, and finally Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith came out. I really enjoyed that as well.

Now I am 20 years old, Star Wars holds a special place in my heart, and even though hardcore self-proclaimed Star Wars fans bash and hate the three new movies, I can not stop loving them, for they were part of my childhood and they were my introduction to the Star Wars Universe.

I love the original trilogy and I love the new trilogy and I love that I am able to love them all.

TL;DR: I like the new trilogy, it's pretty good, although it has some flaws, but they can easily be ignored.

The only thing that annoys me more than this post is the fact I can only thumb it down once. Yes Jar Jar is kind of dumb and annoying but he was designed to bring in a younger audience, he's not in every scene, get over it. The pod race was awesome, I have no idea what you're talking about, as someone who was old enough to see it in theaters I can tell you it looked amazing on the big screen. You can get background on Maul from the expanded universe, he's supposed to be mysterious, if they knew exactly who he was he wouldn't be a phantom menace. I'll give you Padme, she was annoying. And finally, Yoda fighting was awesome, there's nothing cooler than when the old guy kicks serious ass. I don't know what happened to make some star wars fans so jaded but whatever it is they need to shut up so the rest of us can enjoy ourselves. Sorry for the long comment.

Everyone will always say " the older ones where better" or the "original was better"

What they really mean is "where the fuck is han solo"

MFW I like all of the Star Wars films.

also, who has a problem with yoda? shits bad ass as fuck

Haters gonna hate

i am an enormous star wars fan, and it pisses me off how much people rip on the new films because the reality is that the originals werent exactly oscar winners either. There was a lot of really stupid stuff in all 6 movies

Yeah yeah Anakin, that old chat-up line.

YFW Jar Jar played a crucial role in the Star Wars storyline

episode 1 is meh, episode, 2 is okay, episode 3 is actually really good.
the prequels arent bad, they do good in telling the story of the fall of the jedi and the origins of the empire-. just my opinion tho.

also yoda is a beast when fighting

I'm gonna get red thumbed to hell for this.. BUT....... I liked the Star Wars prequels.. yeah, I said it.

Fixed

...I really enjoyed the prequels.

They didn't have the charm or consistency of the originals, but I was thoroughly entertained by all of them, especially by the modernised saber duels. Vader vs. Obi is still one of my favourite action scenes of all time.

But of course, my opinion is wrong and you will all hate me. Oh well.

I liked the prequels and the originals for different reasons
but together they make a amazing saga

You called, OP? Could you not think of a better title?

I liked the prequels.

Sorry. Am I the only one who refuses to separate the Star Wars movies between the two trilogies? How about we look at them as a 6 movie saga? All together, they were fucking sick. SO everybody just stfu and enjoy some fucking star wars

B...b...but.... the podrace was actually pretty cool and Yoda can fuck shit up like a boss.

MFw I loved the star was prequells
