Han Solo is the only arsehole i could aspire to be like.

I really like Darth Vader, he is like this big evil dude, with a tragic story, and killer soundtrack. too bad they ruined him with the prequels.

Darth Vader was such a badass in the original trilogy.

And then what do they do? They turn him into an annoying brat in episode 1, an emo pussy in episode 2, and a c0cky punk in episode 3. At least he started getting badass in episode 3. That fight with Obi Wan was pretty sweet.

You know, I'll be honest. I thought the prequels were great as backstory films, explaining everything we wanted to know, though sometimes they explained too much (seriously, the force is just some particles in your bloodstream?) and while I thought the stories overall were good. What kept the films from being great was the poor miscast acting from Christensen and Portman, and the fact that the trilogy focused way too much on their relationship, putting that and Jar Jar aside though, I still think they were decent films.

Admiral Ackbar all the way. i mean come on, a fish headed man in a bright white suit with an accent like that, everyone use to talk about him back then.

I like when he gestures with his floppy red flipper hand.

I never really got the appeal of Star Wars. Although I've only watched A New Hope and Attack of the Clones. They all seemed really cheesy to me.

Finally, someone else sees it my way :D

And Fruitonica... I guess if you didn't like A New Hope you wouldn't like any of them. Although a lot of people still love the movies, including me, I can see how other people would find it dated and cheesy. But Star Wars, alongside Jaws, brought the movie industry back to it's feet in 1977.

Hint: It's supposed to be kind of cheesy. The whole series is intended as a modernized homage to old sci-fi serials like Flash Gordon, which were extremely cheesy. That's why fans of the Star Wars movies have conversations about hilarious shit like how floppy Admiral Ackbar's flipper hand was in Return of the Jedi or Luke whining about wanting to picking new power converters in A New Hope.

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Return of the Jedi
Revenge of the Sith

Attack of the Clones
Phantom Menace

In that order.
