He and his family are now at Disney World enjoying their free vacation.
I first saw Star Wars when the special edition hit the theaters in 1997, I knew Vader was his father but that's all, I was 13 or 14 and I walked out in love with it. This isn't nostalgia talking, the originals are objectively better than their cash cow prequels and sequels.
If Phantom Menace had been the first one I never would have seen the 2nd.
Episode 7's plot was a near-total rehash of episode 4, only with a big downgrade in the Vader position and even though "Star Killer Base" was more powerful than the Death Star if seemed like crappy Chinese-made imitation and the space battle was boring as hell. The stuff they say happened between 6 and 7 (requiring them to retcon dozens of novels and such) sounds pretty stupid.
I don't see how this one can escape having something original (please Disney don't prove me wrong) in it and I hope it's good but if it's great I'll eat my hat. And if it's "the best" I'll eat everybody's hat.
I’ll wait for it come to On-Demand.
Just kind of burned out on the whole Star Wars thing, actually.
