re: Someone tell me what the lure of Star Wars is when 6/9 of the movies suck

For me personally, the first movie had such an impact that I think I would at least mildly enjoy every movie afterward regardless of how much they do or don't suck.

Still remember clear as day watching the original in a drive-in movie. I never saw previews. My sister told me we were going to see "star wars" I thought I was going to see like barbera fricking streisand battling against Cher in a sing off or some stupid shite like that.

But the whole space theme is/has been so interesting for me that even the shitty movies still have a lot of cool stuff within. One on One lightsaber battles, epic battles, space battles, explosions, plethora of cool creatures, special effects, space ships, etc... Even the biggest pile of crap movie still had some cool pod racing. Tie yourself to a couple spaceship engines with some string... fricking ya.
