Anyone else never watched a Star Wars movie before?

Well I noticed M.I.A's (ZOMG She made an obscene gesture!!!) 'Bad Girls' official video has been released on YouTube so I went on to check it out and there is banner for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in 3D on the front page.

I remember back in 1998/1999? when the 'original' movie was released, there was so much hype surrounding it...and to this day I still haven't seen it. In fact I've never seen any Star Wars film, and you know what? Considering how much of a money spinner it has become I'm glad.

Recently the movies (original trilogy only?) came out on Blu-Ray with some outrageous price tag...and with some even more outrageous edits from what I've heard.

It seems every time you look there's a new video game, book series, TV/animated series, re-release, etc. Any Star Wars knowledge I have comes from parodies from the likes of Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons and more.

I also know about the Blu-Ray 'remaster' because as the release approached online forums were flooded with video clips of the new change...which I admit I watched and lol'd at.

Has anyone else never watched a Star Wars movie in their life?

  1. I have to admit man as a huge Star Wars fan this post is shocking to me, I can't believed you've never watched the films. If you ever get the chance to watch the original trilogy I would do that, the other three aren't that great in all honesty.

  2. you never missed anything with the episodes 1,2,3. The 4,5,6 before Lucas started raping our collective childhoods where pretty solid and pioneered so many things in the special effects industry. What they achieved at the time was something no one ever even considered. The story is fairly standard "the chosen one" bs, but it was enough bones to carry the amazing future vision that became known as star wars.

  4. I am speechless. Star Wars has always been such a huge part of my life, I can't imagine life without. And I gotta go with G...Episodes 4 and 5 are BY FAR the best ones.
