I have to share something with you guys. :scared:


I am not a Star Wars fan. The last movie I saw was the one with Jar Jar Binks...Phantom Menace.

I don't hate it the movies, more indifferent, I guess. :noclue:

Yeah, I wouldn't base my opinion of SW on that movie alone. My 25 year old cousin doesn’t care about the movies. My 8 year old niece has been through episodes IV-VI and loved them. The only funny thing is that she calls Chewbacca chupacabra :lol:

:lol: Cute how your niece calls Chewbacca.

No, my opinion isn't based solely on that one movie. I watched all the movies prior to TPM and enjoyed them. I think by the time TPM came out my movie genre preferences had changed.

In case any of you Star Wars fans are philatelists, the Royal Mail is issuing some Star Wars stamps on Oct 20th.
Even though I'm not really a Star Wars fan, I'm going to order the stamps.

The Royal Mail are issuing a new set of 18 first-class stamps celebrating the Star Wars movies. They will be on sale from October 20, featuring a scene or character from the first six films and three from the new release, Star Wars: the Force Awakens.
You can see how they look like in the link.

I gave the rest of the trilogy a chance but I'm still a big fan of the first 3, Empire Strikes Back being my favorite. I've always hated the ewoks so Return hasn't grown on me that much.

On another note, has anybody bought tickets for the premiere? I've never watched the midnight show and I guess tickets are sold out already. Since I can't watch a movie after 10 pm, I always pass on midnight shows. I think I'm going to wait to watch it with my nieces instead, when they come for the holidays.

Sorry if it's been posted. Did anyone read the order you should watch the 6 movies? After thinking about it I totally agree, for a first timer. Episode 4 then 5. Darth Vader is Luke's father. Then you watch episode 2 and 3. They play as flashbacks after the big reveal. Then you go to Return of the Jedi to end it. Phantom Mennace is a stand alone film you can watch whenever you want.

I passed on the night before, midnight screenings. Totally dorked out and took a vacation day 12/18 and pre bought tickets for a 4pm showing. I'm hoping its not too well attended at that time.
