Title: I have never seen Star Wars.
Post by: Chino on April 01, 2010, 09:32:55 AM
No this is not an April fools. I assume there are a bunch of references on this forum that I don't get.

You've seen Avatar 70 times, but you haven't seen Star Wars once?

This. I try to watch some of films every now and again but I just can't. I don't understand why people watching them in this day and age still like them. So cornball. A friend and I actually laughed out loud when Darth Vader said "I am your father".

Luke's response is even more pathetic.

But hey, what a classic scene. Completely flawless. Perfect cinema. Beyond criticism.

You know, even I have.

Except from episode six that I mostly slept through - it was a little too boring to watch at 01.00 after five other Star Wars movies. BUT STILL.
Title: Re: I have never seen Star Wars.
Post by: Progmetty on April 01, 2010, 02:08:41 PM
Me neither Chino, I have all six movies and I try so hard every now and then to start watching them but I get like 15 minutes in maximum and I'm so uninterested I actually start to stare at the ceiling and drift away.
But I keep trying, cause it's an important part of our pop culture, I still haven't seen the Family Guy parodies because I know they wouldn't be funny if I haven't watched Star Wars first.
I'll keep trying though, I trust one day I'll get there heh

This thread makes me so sad. Star Wars is amazing. My whole childhood consisted of me and my friend watching the movies, collecting the action figures, reading the books, playing the games.... I didn't know it was even possible that people could live that long without seeing it. :p

I actually haven't seen all the original trilogy either. Well, okay, that's a lie. I have seen them, but it was a long time ago, and I don't remember. I get most of the references, though. I just never really saw what all the hype was about.

The original Star Wars trilogy, the Back to the Future trilogy, and the original Indiana Jones trilogy are an essential part of any child's development, if you ask me.

My friends and I were playing the nazi game (don't know the official name but we call it that because the nazis were playing it in Inglourious Basterds, where someone writes a name on a card and you put it on your forehead and have to guess who you are) and I made Tony a character from Star Wars. He figured out he was from a movie and asked about the genre and he was like "Is it science fiction" and our friend Matt said he wouldn't quite call it that, and Tony asked if it was "space fantasy" and Matt said yes, which gave Star wars away... still took him a while to figure out that he was Jar Jar though. I guess I don't blame him for exploring every other possible option first  :rollin

Having only seen the first Star Wars once when I was a kid, and not liking it enough to ever bother watching it again or any of the sequels for that matter, I don't get most of the references here today, but I can appreciate the effort that went into it.  :tup :tup

What a horrible thing to do to someone. I hope he dumped you. Nay, I hope he banged someone close to you right infront of you and then gave you aids and THEN dumped you.

Huh?

Those films really don't seem that old compared to other films from the same time...  the lack of CGI and the clever use of believable looking costumes, sets and models make the films seem far more real and material to me than the prequels, as well as many other modern films.

Oh God this is exactly how I feel about the originals.  Its a wonder what real sets can do to make a movie look real.  Dammit George Lucas...

Post by: Summers on April 02, 2010, 08:03:45 AM
Indeed, I mean look at LOTR...  the effort that went into creating those real sets and the costumes etc really pays off.  If Peter Jackson had just used blue screen and a CGI Helm's Deep, Minas Tirith etc like GL did with the prequels those films wouldn't be half as magical as they are.

Well, I'd suggest watching Star Wars, cos even if you don't love them, they're not bad films overall, and then you can tick them off your list.

However, I wouldn't recommend Indiana Jones to my worst enemy.
