Who really doesn't care about the new Star Wars?
I loved the ones when I was little, but I never got into the prequels! :shrug:

3. Loved the original three, so hokey and fun. Went to the 1st of the
prequels and want my $10.00 and two hours of my life back. What a disappointment.

4. I really don't...
I think your remark "when I was little" really hits the mark. If Luscas as he says is making these films for people under 12 then what the hell are all these folks doing dressing like stormtroopers and queueing all night for tickets? It's a mystery to me, why don't they go and watch a film with actors in it?

5. George Lucas made two great films
American Grafitti and Star Wars (aka Episode 4).

He lost me with Jar Jar Binks

8. Well I can agree with you on your first one, but I
like American Idol, now!!! It is fun to watch. My friend and I alternate cooking each week and watch it at each other's houses! I guess that makes it more fun!

9. Take it or leave it. I never really enjoyed the whole trip
I like good Sci-Fi. This is crap and I never found the characters, story lines, or special effects engaging.

10. Even though the special effects
on the earlier ones weren't as good, they were enjoyable for me. Of course I was really young.

11. I used to
Stood in line for hours on opening day to see the first one.Even longer for the second and third.By the time the next batch came out I wasnt as rabid a fan and was let down by 3-4.I hear the last one is good so Im going to check it out at the theater when the lines have died down.

12. The only reason I care at all is that
my little suburb's theater apparently has some new, rare, fancy digital projector that's going to draw SW fans like a magnet and I'm worried they're going to track Cheeto dust all over the neighborhood.

14. I don't know, but these type of groupies
exist for other movies as well. Have you ever seen Trekkies (sp?) for Star Trek? It is strange to me.
