I sit next to a guy who NEVER saw ANY Star Wars movie!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

And he was 17 when the first one was released!

Is this UNBELIEVABLE or what? :wow:

[redqueen]

1. Yes

Hard to believe he's not lying.

Maybe he forgot?

[Wat_Tyler]

2. Kill him. Eat the corpse.

No-one need ever know.

[Blue-Jay]

3. yes. Kill him.

Nobody will care.

[Wat_Tyler]

5. He can't be a real person anyway.

Eat his family. Just to make sure.

[BootinUp]

4. He's a thought criminal undoubtedly ;)

[XNASA]

6. Maybe he's like me and has seen a couple......

But refuses to admit it to anyone.

Oops.

Guess the cat's out of the bag. Please don't eat me.

[Blue-Jay]

9. I think you're safe.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

7. Good for him.

[Kid_A]

8. That's like never having eaten a hamburger!

Where was this guy raised, fucking NAZI GERMANY?!??!!!!

[Was_Immer]

10. What is Star Wars?

Are you refering to the missle defense system?

[a_random_joel]

11. I bet there's a whole generation of people like this in...

Somalia.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

12. He's better off for it.

It's a horrible set of movies. And that's being kind.

[donsu]

13. I've never seen any of them either

prefer reading good SciFi (no, never read any Star Wars books either, prefer books by women writers. Yes, I've read male writers up until I was 40 yrs. old. figured I knew what the men had to say so ever since I've only read women writers)

the Star War ads on TV made them seem like 'boy' movies and never peaked my interest.

I'd rather not be killed. I've made it to 69 and I'm aiming for 80 :)

[Wat_Tyler]

14. You seem to be under the delusion that you have a choice.

:evilgrin:

[donsu]

16. is one of your pics a fractal?

I'm in love with fractals. and have a special lust for Flames and really dig Strange Attracters.

so in love I've even painted faux fractals.

[Wat_Tyler]

17. I don't think so. It's a Peter Saville design.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. You're safe. Americans are too fatty.

Gotta watch the cholesterol, you know.

[Kid_A]

18. Whether you think the movies are good or not, you can't deny their impact

on the culture. People who refuse to watch at least the first two (Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back) are missing out on two of the most significant works of art of the 20th century. Normally I would hesitate to say that about a movie, but some movies are absolutely deserving of being compared to classic works of art. CITIZEN KANE, THE GODFATHER, TAXI DRIVER, SCHINDLER'S LIST, CASABLANCA, 2001, and yes, STAR WARS are all examples of that.

Film as an artform is every bit as relevant to the modern world as any other medium, and for anyone to dismiss the one movie that advanced the artform more than any other as mere "kids' stuff" is foolish, and they're really depriving themselves of something wonderful.

[Squeech]

19. I've only seen one

And it was on the executivo bus from Vitoria to Rio, dubbed into Portuguese, which I still don't understand well enough to follow the action.

Worst of all, it was the one with Jar Jar Binks.

So kill and eat me too.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. I was going to, but we misplaced each other.

OOPS, I mean, we couldn't meet for dinner. :evilgrin:

Wrong phone number, I guess...

[Squeech]

24. Ha ha

We'll get together next trip (which as of this writing is supposed to be December 2005)

[tsakshaug]

20. What?

what 17 year old boy did not want to watch princess leah..........

[Wat_Tyler]

21. Gay ones, perhaps?

[tsakshaug]

23. then wouldn't he

want to watch han solo.
luke was a bit of a whiner

[freesqueeze]

25. I was also 17 when the first one came out

it got so much hype that a whole gang of us from High School went to see it.

None in that group liked it.

It was a kiddie movie. This came out right at the beginning of the trend of kiddie movies being taken seriously. This trend has grown dramatically since.

I've stayed away from kiddie movies except after I started to have kids of my own.

When I was a kid we went to see Godzilla films. These were aimed at the same age group as the Lucas SW films (8-12 year olds).

Is it so unbelievable that someone wouldn't like this movie and prefer more grown up films?
