How long did you lie to yourself about the Star Wars prequels?

I liked 3

I honestly cannot sit down and stomach the first two. The 3rd one is shite when you factor in expectations but it's at least watchable.

as i was walking out of the theater post-episode 2 i yelled "GEORGE LUCAS CAN SUCK MY DICK" to my friends that i saw

Ep1 was the best of the 3 but it still sucked...but the pod race and final fights were pretty engrossing in theaters

i had turned on it before it was out on VHS though

bro you're not down for CGI gladiator shite thrown in for no reason whatsoever?

I remember being incredibly underwhelmed and disappointed after watching the midnight showing of Ep. 1. Might have watched it 2 other times since.

After that, presuming that the rest would be shite, I just watched 2 and 3 as a formality, on DVD. It was painful to get through both. Never have rewatched and likely never will.

Episode 1 came out 15 years ago.

Chew on that for a minute.

I was too young to really know good from bad

In hindsight, holy shite episode 2 is so, so bad

You want to know what's real fricking sad?


I'm apparently the only one in my group of friends (I'm 21) that grew up and recognizes the greatness of the original trilogy. I used to watch the (Han shot first edition) VHSs of the originals nearly everyday as a kid

One of my roommates has never seen the originals and the other likes the new trilogy better


It makes my head want to explode Everytime the argument comes up.

About a third of the way through "Send in the Clones".

I watched that last one - only out of a sense of obligation, like "Let's get it over with."

When "Vader" does the "Noooooo!!!!!" at the end, which I completely saw coming with the music, the montage, the soundtrack - I actually laughed out loud. I think I tried to watch "The Cartoon Menace" one time on video, perhaps before watching clones, but couldn't finish it.

Those movies are beyond terrible.
