Star Wars: The Force Awakens....

[Worf101]

You know having read the glowing reviews on other boards... I think WHEN you saw the original and how makes a big difference in how you see this film. I saw it as an adult, who'd read Sci-Fi and fantasy all his life. It blew my mind, I'd never seen anything like it. It fulfilled so many fantasies I had for so long. But I was an adult and soldier. Had I seen the film as a child I think the current film might've been more entertaining. The most glowing reviews I've read have been from folks who'd seen the original as children.... That's the only thing that might explain my complete boredom and disappointment.

I grew up with Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and later Lost in Space and Star Trek, so how could I be disappointed with Star Wars? Maybe if you compare it to Star Wars. I was 28 when I saw the original in 1977.

I think maybe you nailed it, Jack. Compared to Star Wars, one is likely to be disappointed; ("déjà vu all over again").

To feel too old: I was 32 when I saw Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977.

Good Gawd! How did you old farts ever learn to use a computer? For reals though, I was 9 when the original came out - those first 3 are all the Star Wars I'll need. Loved'em. Wish I still had my action figures.

BTW, Polaroid is bringing back Super8mm FILM!

Your loss Deano. That's like saying all I need are the first three Rush albums. Or whoever trips your trigger.

I'll have you know I was the first on our block with a PC at home; BTW, that was 1984.

The first three Star Wars were the only ones worth watching, IMO.
