Am I the only one alive who isn't all that nuts about "Star Wars"? I've gotten used to that feeling, so it's OK if I am!
No, I guess I just need to watch the originals and work my way through the prequels as well.
You're not alone out there. I know some people who aren't fond of those movies. They're essentially the sort of films that should only appeal to little boys, but somehow reached out to a much wider age range.
I hadn't seen them in a while so this marathon allowed me re-discover them with different eyes.
