Seems like I missed something important in my life

After that much reactions due to my ignorance about Star Wars, I was wondering what was so cool about these movies.
I remember playing a demo of one of these computer games a few years back, but I never really watched any of the movies and I never felt attracted by them either.

Maybe someone would be cool enough to tell me what it's all about and why it has that much success.

I never cared enough to watch the movies .. looks shit.
voor 14/15 jarige zijn da zalige films, nu valt ge in slaap
Parent
no you did not
i think he just did!... shall we beat him up?
Parent
well i was around to go to the cinema when the original star wars was released back in 1977. it was the 3rd film id ever seen in the cinema and i went with my dad.

it was groundbreaking. not only in film graphics, but the storyline was gripping, it had carachters a young guy could buy into and believe, there was a whole franchise around after the release with action figures (i got these for like 4 xmas's in a row) and if im honest, ive always loved the original series of films to this day.

the newer films were, hmmmmmm, not too great, revenge of the sith was decent, but overall , dissapointing as an add-on series of films , cashing in on the originals popularity. an entire generation (including myself) absolutely had to see the 2nd release films, as well as the remastrered films as they had "never before scenes" and cgi enhanced add ons. unfortunately, it was just cashing in again (fuck you goerge lucas you girl).

watch them if you can, but to be honest, compared to films of today, cgi and graphics will be laughable for you. but the storyline back in the 70's, for a wide-eyed young kevlar, was fucking great :D

nerd - off.


(tl-dr) :D
lol ye, I don't think I would stand to watch such a shit quality movie.

Aren't they in plan to remake the original one more to the nowadays gfx's?
Parent
shit quality? are you insane?
Parent
Well I mean movie quality from the 70s
Parent
cmon, stop kidding us.
Parent
Non mais sérieux, ces films valent le détour, et c'est pas un extrait qui va te montrer la nature de ceux ci.
Bref.
Parent
Je parlais de la qualité moi. La qualité d'image des caméras des années 70.
Parent
La qualité est très bien pour cette époque, et les les dvdrip sont de bonnes qualités.
Parent
Justement, pour cette époque, et ça, ça risque de me saouler :P
Parent
oui bah va regarder TRON alors.
Parent
C'est déjà downloadé, faut que j'aille le voir asap :P
Parent
thats not even the movie of the 70s:P

Try star wars 4,5 and 6
Parent
OH WELL

It looks shit anyway, but I'm downloading tho
Parent
lol, goku, it doesnt look shit at all :D

But yeah, was huge star wars fan but after episode 2 I just couldnt watch it. Never seen episode 3 in my life either :D
Parent
Episode 3 is the "best" one of the new trilogy. There are proper battles at least.
Parent
sry but thats one of the newer star wars movies :D
first came star wars IV, then V, VI
later came the newer movies star wars I, II and III

this is the one ure supposed to watch
Parent
Oh my fucking god are you kidding me? :D
Parent
i am not :D
thats the one everybody's been talking about how awesome, life changing it is
and it really is
its a movie u must have seen
and there are plenty of other old ass movies which are awesome movies
even black white movies

get over the fact that it looks shit, just get into the story
you will love it ;)
Parent
Ill try.. Download's almost finished, will watch by end of the week-end, I guess. :)
Parent
you are playing ET and whining about quality..
Parent
And your point is..?
Parent
watch the fucking movie :D
Parent
is it just me, or have i seen a similar comment from you once upon a time?
Parent
ye, 5 years ago when kamz posted the exact same journal.
Parent
Are you serious? :P
Parent
lekkere trol trut :-)
Parent
hehe, hoe ist nu me u? al genoeg volk gevonden voor uw clan?
Parent
opt gemak, ja en nee, man genoeg maar zijn niet stabiel genoeg dus blijven zoeken he tot we met 5 zijn die passen bij elkaar en die er (bijna)altijd kunnen zijn. Maar tkomt wel goe ;p
Parent
not from me ! :o
Parent
damn it, but i'm almost certain i have :(
Parent
The nerd inside me wishes I could have witnessed such a magic

It was something like the lotr-movies I suppose
Parent
very much so!
Parent
haha my dad told me the same exact thing when i was more young and we were watching starwars, tho it was his first time in the cinema:D he was talking about it just like u with passion and shit. fucking awesome movie indeed, not even nowdays (30 years later) it feels like a cheap movie, and usually old fiction movies nowdays feel real cheap.
Parent
it sounds rediculous i suppose to a lot of people, but it really was life changing watching star wars and it definately shaped my life. i fell in love with sci-fi and ill always love it because of this film. i still get feelings when i watch it like im a kid again. hard to describe and a shame that theresnot been more films like it for every generation. i suppose the LOTR trilogy could be kind of like it, but different themes tbh. your dads obviously a legend ;)
Parent
yeh he talks the same exact thing :D how quality that movie is.

even when the movie stars with those letters and the music he goes: LOOK SON LOOK HOW AWESOME THIS IS.
Parent
prolly for most of them, didn't see the 1st one in the theaters back then, but the 2nd one i did.
Life changing for me, same as with Tron, that i did see and i was like, forget about John Wayne and shit, this is the deal :)
Parent
something similar I get when playing old games like A link to the past on the SNES
Parent
Moi aussi tkt pas !
I don't like Star Wars, quite childish.
You're entitled to that opinion and since you're a massive Bruce fan I can't hold any sort of grudge against you.
Parent
Bruce fan?
Parent
...

How many Bruce's are you fan of? :/
Parent
cmon laser guns and laser swords are childish?
Parent
The story obviously is.
Parent
It isnt childish. You just dont like Sci-fi
Parent
I like sci-fi and there are a lot of great sci-fi movies out there, but star wars is not one of them.
Parent
Only which the first 3... In which I mean the last 3 at the same time :|
Didn't catch that..?
Parent
Episode 4 / 5 / 6 were made first
Then Episode 1 / 2 / 3
Parent
That is what I was pointing out, but to peopel who aven't seen it. it is very confusing!
Parent
cuz if u watch all 6 movies (its 6 or 8, forgot) it makes one huge top story.

really. The movies are fucking awesome. But hey, its the same thing as with old games. you might be newschool and you don't like bad graphic games.
"Hellow" I'm here for 11 months, and I play ET


http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5343069
Is that what I'm supposed to watch?
Parent
dont bother with I, II, and III!!!
Parent
bad advice. he should watch all and he will enjoy it.
Parent
I thought the "new" 3 star wars really let the original Trilogy down. They tried to break barriers with it yet they tried wayyyyy too hard and it flopped. Stupid thing jarjarbinks aswell. I mean common?
Parent
more like, don't bother with II
Parent
True you are newschool. Still you didn't get my point. Don't count ET as "you might be newschool and you don't like bad graphic games. "

I am talking about older games. For example.. go youtube ragnarok. Your reaction will be "haha who would like to play that". Well let me surprise you. Game is awesome. Not cuz of graphic ofc.

Same with starwars movies. Watch them and then you will see why its so hyped.
Parent
join the dark side!

p.s. i m your father
Hope you watched all the episodes ;) i would start with the old 4,5,6 before the new ones.
the movie is liek 30 years old and it does not even feel cheap, and ALL old fiction movies feel cheap nowdays but not starwars.
it's just unbeliveable...a mate of mine also didnt watched it -.-
Nice attempt to troll



btw best scifi movie ever
Get the fuck out, if you're here to flame.
Parent
Haven't seen Star Wars either. The few people in my prim. school class that had seen it were all idiots, so the natural conclusion was that the film would not be to my tastes.

Still don't know if it was a regrettable move or not, at least I'm glad I didn't miss out on Pokemon and Zelda.
i missed out on pokemon and zelda, yet i have seen star wars



to each his own i suppose...
Parent
Pokemon and Zelda..

Man, you fucking know the classics! <3
Parent
pokemon classic?

zelda ok but pokemon...
Parent
When you were a kid, you won't tell me you weren't a fan of it :P
Parent
never watched Pokemon or Zelda
Parent
Watch 4, 5 & 6 first so that you can share in everyone elses disappointment about 1, 2 & 3 :l

I owned one of

So utterly awesome.
Parent
never saw those either...
pretty sure i didnt miss anything life changing
QuoteI'm just fucking tired lol and posting bullshit :P


Yeah this journal is bullshit. :P
Star Wars came out before I was born, but I still grew up with those movies so I might be abit biased. Even for an old movie the graphics really aren't shit, especially the ones with redone effects.

They are great films if you are capable of enjoying sci-fi movies. It's no coincidence an entire franchise and tons of games have been made around these movies. Some which are very good at recreating the same feeling as in the movies (can't remember all the names, but ive played loads :D)
franchise wast mostly because they were the first with these special effects and people wont omfg wow epic awesome
Parent
Riiiight, that's why so many spinoffs, series, games are still being made to this day. Most of them good aswell.

It's one of the few typical sci-fi/fantasy trilogies being made into a great film, hence its success imo. Just like with lotr.
Parent
thats the whole point of a movie. not just star wars, but any movie.

its escapism, a release from your day. an exciting / horrifying / funny / dramatic / scarey / thrilling way to enjoy 2 hours of your day.
id never say someone was dumb or wrong for liking or not liking a movie that i dont like. i love movies, always have and always will. if you dont, hey, no big deal, EACH TO THEIR OWN. we all watch them though, good or bad and always have our own opinion. i love movies, pass the fucking popcorn bitch :D
yeah you missed first 7 years of et and thats important, because we didn't have to handle you till 2k10 :C

now shortly, you know what.
same here i just hate star wars dunno why :D, i just like erzwodizwo or smth the little roboter :D
Empire Strikes Back is probably one of the best movies ever made.
So yes, you have missed something.
Never been a fan but the first two were enjoyable and I found Return of the Jedi pretty boring. Haven't seen the recent ones.
never watched any Star wars either
because of this journal, someday i will get stoned and watch it :)
i never watched star wars , and i dont want to watch them still
