I thought Ezza had been clear that it was shit but that despite that he really enjoyed it? I felt similar. Some great set pieces. Feel similar about ROTJ

Haven’t showed my three-year-old Star Wars yet, or any superhero stuff (outside of Incredible) even though the lads in her class are all mad about Batman / Spider-Man (at least, they have rucksacks with them, not sure how much stuff their parents have let them see).

Not sure what she’d make of SW, quite boring I expect

Can but give it a go I guess - I thought A New Hope would be a bit boring for the little’un but he was even fairly attentive during the early Tatooine stuff. Tried the prequels and some Clone Wars recently but those only lasted five minutes and then he was asking for the originals (because he knows most of those characters).

I suspect ‘liking SW’ is in his DNA however, given my passion for it :smiley:

Ha, I know what you mean - its the kids that have Halloween and Terminator rucksacks you gotta look out for!

Brilliant post. Feel the same, was (and am) a fanboy (played the roleplaying game and everything in my youth) but have set out to enjoy rather than critique a fun science fiction series and have done just that (just saw it on dvd last week).

Just watched this one. Thought it was pretty good. Liked that there was a monkey thing in it. I don’t think there was anything wrong with this film. What’s a palpating?

We did Star Wars about that age. She had to have it in small chunks. Actual order of watching was as follows:

IV…long gap of a couple of years I think maybe IV again… gap …VII, IV, VIII, V, VI, IX

Obviously this is a bit nuts but I thought Rey would get her interest more as she is less impressed with male-led stuff quite often. It did but she remembered there was a film with Leia younger so we watched that and then I convinced her to watch The Last Jedi, which she loved. But she wanted to see young Leia again so Empire it was.

Due to the trailers for Episode IX I thought she’d better watch Episode VI to understand who the emperor was. She seemed to enjoy IX. But she asks so many questions in these films. She finds it very hard to keep track of characters in films that aren’t animated.

She did claim she wanted to see Episode I the other day because of course she now understands that there must be a 1,2 and 3. :grimacing:

We’ve just started watching together (our daughter is six), starting with The Force Awakens because that’s the one she was most drawn to - she absolutely loves it! I tried to convince her to start with IV but this was what she wanted and it seems to have worked, guess it makes sense as she’s culturally aware of BB-8 etc whereas she isn’t so aware of Ewoks, for example.

Also, I haven’t seen the most recent trilogy before - it’s bloody good, isn’t it? As someone who was a massive SW fan in my youth it’s exactly what I want, huge shame the prequels weren’t anything like as good.
