Question for all of you Star Wars fans: what is the best order to watch the films?


4,5,1,2,3,6

View Episodes 1,2,3 as very shitty flashbacks

This one I'm almost certain Lucas did that as a very deliberate frick you to the fans. He knew how much we loved that in "Revenge of the Sith", so he just put it in there to frick with us more. It's good to have contempt for your audience.


That, and his absurd need/thought to have the two trilogies mirror each other.

He's all about some "if it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is."

What will you do if Abrams/Disney does away with the midiclorian idea?


It's OK because in 1987, Lucas had the idea to actually not make it about midichlorians after he makes it about midichlorians.

He said it is poetry because the stories "rhyme".

Because he created an echo chamber of yes men at Lucasfilms, and there was no one of any stature to pull him aside and say,

"George. This movie is dead. It's flat. It's not working. We have to get out of the green screen mindset and build some shite and go out and do something. And this film (Cartoon Menace) needs a protagonist. In Star Wars it was Luke. Heck, it's probably Luke in all 3. In this one - is it Obi-wan? Kind of feels like it at first, then shifts violently to the kid, and then, almost to the Queen. This is confusion and diffuses the focus of the film. Let's drop the kid and introduce a teenage Anakin next time - heck, make him the protagonist in the middle film - but let's make the first film about a prime of his life Obi Wan - set up the basic conflicts for the balance of the trilogy with the Jedi council and the dark forces of the Sith."

Poetry?

Perhaps there were some "no men" around, and ole George screamed that he had:



when concerning all the films. They were never heard from again.
