I love SciFi. Saw the first one the week it came out in 77. Thought it was kinda juvenile, dumb - and didn’t watch any more.
Got talked into watching them all about a year ago. Snooze fest.
IMHO it was ruined from the start.
“Star Wars” was fun if you were raised around pulps and old serials (I was), but at 13 I was more of a “Rollerball” and “Logan’s Run” and “Alien” kinda guy. I like the next two in the series — they were weird and fun.
Then I found out The Force was pretty much HIV, so I was done. As an adult, I realized “Star Wars” really needed Marcia back.
I was a huge 2001 fan, expected SW to be similar given the hype.
After far too long a wait in line, a goofy kid’s film.
Still pissed at the switch and bait.
Star Wars wasn’t science fiction, it was a modernized Saturday afternoon cowboy movie.

When I saw the first one at the theater I was expecting Sci-fi and I walked out on it, but since everyone else enjoyed it I gave it a second try to see what I was overlooking, and that time I decided to look at it as other people were, an exciting fun space action adventure, and with that frame of mind I liked it a lot, I think I later watch a sequel with Jabba the Hutt maybe didn’t care for it and skipped the rest.
