I don't think I've ever seen more than a few minutes of ANY Star Wars movie. While I enjoy movies (I've got nearly 100 of them on my netflix queue), this stuff has never been my "bag." I guess it will continue to be that way.

I lived & worked in Germany when the first Star Wars was shown.

As I result, I was not subject to the massive advertising blitz as well as the "buzz" about Star Wars.

A few years later, when I returned home, I went to the second Star Wars flick (so memorable that I don't remember the name).

I went to the flick with my new (and only) wife. She was so jazzed. Just wait she said.

I was so underwhelmed - and continue to be so.

I have never understood the whole thing. Sure the FX were good & groundbreaking but the whole plot, characters...etc, struck me as well, stupid!

Yet, I am a guy who loves sophomoric type humor, campy stuff, action flicks - even roco's with my wife.

Mel Brooks did the genre far better, IMHO.

Hey, sorry, but someone said this to me the other day when I came on a thread to announce how irritating and ridiculous it was.

Why are you here???
