Never saw Attack of the Clones in the theatre. Somehow missed it. Just wasn't that excited about it after Phantom Menace.
I would pass on the new one at the theatre, but I have to take my kids.

In. I was 4 for Star Wars but mom told me I was there. Remember Empire and running around with sticks playing light saber wars for weeks after. Ten year old me thought ROTJ was the most amazing movie I had ever seen.

I was negative 3 weeks old for SW. I was almost 3 years old for Empire. I saw Return at 5 years old in the theater and have seen all since, including re-releases.

frick this movie. I’m not watching this shite.

I’ve seen every Star Wars movie on the first run in the theatre up to and including TLJ.

I was in the theater for Star Wars in the 70s and every one that followed. TLJ will be the last one.

I didn’t watch Solo and never will. I will never watch this abomination coming out now.

This Disney trilogy does not exist for me. It is not canon and will be treated as having never been.

Same. I saw ROTS in theaters before I even saw AOTC. Which was fine, since ROTS works pretty good as just a stand alone prequel to the original trilogy.

I saw the only Star Wars films that matter, first run, in the cinema:

Star Wars (1977)

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

The Return of the Jedi (1983)

I also saw 3 films that do not matter at all, first run, in the cinema (and, unfortunately, I subjected my children to the first of these terrible films):

The Cartoon Menace (1999)

Send in the Clones (2002)

Revenge of the Whiny-arse Punk, Who Claims to be Darth Vader, But is, in fact, Not (2005)





Then I was done with "Star Wars."


(And, yet, here I am...)

Just saw my 9th. But then I’m a massive Anthony Daniels fanatic.

First saw Star Wars on a VHS tape that was taped from some TV special airing Star Wars with interviews with the cast and Debbie Reynolds.

Saw Empire and Return in the theaters.

I have seen them all in the movie theater. I was 9 when the first one was released. It felt like my duty to see each one since everyone was talking about the movies as they were released. I don’t ever remember liking one of them, but as a Gen X I feel it’s mandatory to follow Star Wars. I think I’ve slept through most of the movies.

I’ve seen them all in their original release. Saw the first at 18 and the last tonight at 61. My kids have seen them with me starting with the prequels (I primed them with the OT on VHS).

I haven’t seen this one yet, but I will this weekend. I saw “A New Hope” when I was 4. I still have all of the Star Wars toys from my youth stored with all of my GI Joes, Tonka toys, Fisher Price Little People, matchbox cats, etc.

I still watch the two trilogies when they are on TV, but I find it really difficult to watch the movies of this trilogy when they are on TV.

I was 8 years old when Star Wars was released and saw it 12 weeks in a row. The theater in town only had one screen.

I have seen all of them when they were released. I original released in 77’ is still my favorite. I saw The rise of Skywalker yesterday and it was kind of meh to me.

I was born in 77, so I missed ANH and ESB, but I’ve been to every theatrical release of every Star Wars film since ROTJ.

The reason I asked is every time I saw a new Star Wars Film it was literally the first time ever seen with the public so the reaction is more raw...

Saw them all in the theater. Saw Star Wars at age 4 and then again when they re-released it, either that year or the next year. That’s the time I remember.

I remember everyone pretending to force choke each other the next week at school.

I saw all in theaters except ROTJ. I saw them during the 97 rerelease and couldn’t wait to see the end so I rented it before it came to theaters. Opening night for all prequels,sequels.
