are you saying horses can breath in space?
silly molly 😈
My dad took me to see Empire Strikes Back at the cinema when I was five. Terrified the bejesus out of me and we had to leave. Went through the remainder of my childhood disliking Star Wars and anything like that - Dr Who, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, anything vaguely sci fi or fantasy. Enjoyed by weirdos who were crap at football, skating, fighting or anything else useful IME.
As a young adult this very topic came up with a group of my friends, one of whom was aghast at the fact I'd never seen Star Wars and immediately foisted the three videos on me. Despite my misgivings I sat down to watch them (ah how I miss those days pre-kids, pre-work where such free time was available) so I could report back. Thought Star Wars was a bit pish but I can see the appeal for children, thought Empire was ace and Return of the Jedi complete mince. Had I been a fan when Return of the Jedi came out I'd have been miffed.
Then my son was born and upon reaching pre-school age out of nowhere became fascinated with Star Wars so I bought the video second hand off here. Together we wore the tape out, to the point I am now pretty familiar with the whole thing. Still think its rubbish mind, but can see why he loves it and I like the fact I now get a whole load more of the jokes in some of my favourite comedy shows and films.
Best thing about it all though was seeing the brilliant Family Guy take off and getting the 'well there is one small hole, about the size of a womp rat' line.
So on the whole, a stupid but harmless load of crap for children. Adults who obsess over it used to be an object of scorn for me, but now I realise its simply nostalgia.
Princess Leia was never that attractive IMO.

Get out, now.
Didn't George Lucas tell Carrie Fisher 'they don't have bras in space'? Dirty man.
Prefer the Anakin ones
That's wrong that is.
Has anyone read the book 'Can Horses Breathe in Space?' by J.J. Binks?
It's a sign of the impact Star Wars has had on popular culture that people are prepared to proudly state they've never seen it - probably the same sort of tedious bores that insist on telling you they don't own a TV...
This whole thread is about a week too late.
May the fourth be with you.
I'll get my coat.
+1 for me I have to admit. Only short clips.

I agree with Winegums. Get out.

You are so wrong. I won't even begin to explain hpw wrong you are.
Just get out. Blasphemer...
