Clay has owned this thread. When we first watched A New Hope we thought that Obi-Wan was our only hope; the only one who could beat Vader. Then Vader kills him and Luke rises up. We learned all about the galaxy and how our pre conceived notions were wrong as we watched the rest of the trilogy and all the other cartoons/books.
The magic of the firsrt three has been lost with all the cartoons/comics/books. Now there is no changing preconceived notions. If you walk into any star wars movie past or present thinking you know everything about the galaxy far far away the movie will suck. The reason they were so great is that they let our imaginations run wild.
Now a bunch of us 40 year old men have lost our imaginations and the movies aren’t as good. Of course my young boys who have watched all the other films, including the crappy ones thought the movie was great just as i didi when i was their age.
