moist, and oddly in the eye region too

its weird to feel like a child again at 43 but damn that made me feel like i did sitting next to my dad as a kid - i have 7 months to convert the daughter
Currently watching IV, V and VI with my 14 year old - and she's enjoying them. I just have to keep her away from I, II and III  :P

I've done some research on this and it seems that the recommended order in which to watch the series is:

IV, V, II, III, VI and skip episode I altogether.  I wish I could remember where I saw that, but the guy who posted it had a whole long thesis on why this is the way to do it.  Like you watch 4 and 5 first.  Then you go to 2 and 3 and it's like a flashback and so on.  The author says that enough back story is provided in 2 that you don't need to see 1 at all, which apparently sucked that bad.  And then 6 finishes it all off.

I embarrassed to admit that I've never seen 1-3.  I keep meaning to watch them sometime.   :-[

I actually made myself go back and watch I, II and III awhile back. I have to say, I is the best of the three, and it isn't even close. II and III contain way too much HORRIFICALLY acted love story and an increasingly incomprehensible plot. Phantom Menace doesn't feature any 10 minute dialogue scenes about senate politics, and the pod racing scene is actually pretty sweet. Jake Lloyd sucks, but he gets a lot less dialogue than the craptacular Hayden Christensen. Also, III reduces the Emperor to a cackling Star Wars approximation of the Tales From the Crypt Crypt-Kepper during the fight with Yoda, and also...this.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Despite the common haranguing the prequels got, I was glad to have something from the Star Wars universe in the intervening time. 

I actually thought #3 was good.  Probably because it was so dark and it was nice to see the ever-whining Anakin character get f'd up.  It's telling that it was also the one with the least input from Mister Ewok & Jar Jar Lucas, so that bodes well for the new stuff even despite Disney being at the top of the chain.


The latest trailer also made me feel giddy.

I was hoping to grab this one some day (after getting a major PC upgrade), but if it doesn't have a single player campaign, then looks like I won't have to.  ???

I don't mind not having a campaign, but hopefully still contains an ai skirmish or bot mode....if not, then I will likely be sitting this one out as well:(

One thing I REALLY DO like and WANT BADLY, which is incidentally based on the first movie (The Phantom Menace), is the Avalon Hill game called "Star Wars Queen's Gambit."

It's hard as hell to find now as it's out of print and in very high demand (it was released back in 2000).

There's one on eBay right now for $290, and if you check it out on Amazon, you'll find one for the not rip-off price of $1,009.99! Whotta deal!  ::)

I want the game, but not that badly.
