    Probably controversial opinion for some people: I’ve only ever seen one Star Wars movie (one of the original ones) and some of parts of other movies and I think the franchise is totally overrated.

      If you didn’t see them as a kid, then you definitely won’t understand why they’re so popular. When you see them as a child, then they’re the coolest thing in the world, especially if you saw them back in the 70’s or 80’s when they were groundbreaking movie making. What I don’t understand is how people continue loving them, like being completely obsessed with them, into adulthood. I wish I could be that excited about them as an adult, but they’re pretty juvenile movies for a lot of different reasons.

        As I’m born in the late 80’s (god, saying that makes me feel so old), it sadly wasn’t possible to see them at a time were they actually were considered groundbreaking. The special effects aged very badly, imho. I think it’s a lot of nostalgia, especially for people who watched them as kids.

        Yes… I know… but if one is this lame why would I want to watch at least 5 more?
