Reminiscing Star Wars

So, it's late... or maybe it's a few weeks early :) Anyway, I spent some time today thinking about my favorite comment made by an Episode III viewer and the lamest comment made by an Episode III viewer. I will not use their real names as I want to save both of them some dignity.... (If their names hit the comments there's nothing I can do about that... *wink* )

Favorite:

This person knew that I was a Star Wars fan and had just seen Episode III (and had never seen any of the others). Suddenly very excited about the movies, he asked me which he should see next. Should he start with I and II or go for IV, V, and VI. Although I like I and II more than anybody else I know, I, of course, had to say IV. Of course he asked what the title of it was (which of course insued a philosophical debate within myself). But then he also wanted to know what the names of the other five were. I told him the names in episode order. When I got to Episode VI, he exclaimed:

RETURN OF THE JEDI?!?!!! They come back how COOL is that! I thought they were gone for sure!


Lamest:

This person seemed to be very intersted in seeing Episode III as he was the organizer of the gathering (which happened to be the 4th time that I saw it). He is also a BIG movie fan, so he's obviously able to suspend reality for a while - I mean he liked The Matrix. Anyway - I digress, we're all coming out of the theater talking about what we liked about the movie.... And he can't say anything positive.... I gave up arguing with him when he said:

What was up with the twins? Wasn't it just a little too "convenient" that they had two kids?

Where can you possibly go with that statement? "Have you seen Star Wars?" "You realize that these are 'prequels' right?" "OH MY! THAT MEANS THAT VADER IS LUKE'S FATHER!!!!"

  1. I'd ask any mother of twins how "convenient" it is to have them. I'm sure they are wanted and loved, but convenient just isn't a word I'd choose. ;)
