Yep, this is the key. It enables one to gloss over the shit-ness, using nostalgia and suspension of cynicism.

You need plenty of that to get over the horrific movies themselves and the unbelievable commercialism surrounding them. Disney are quite a bit more cynical than I am I think.
Have you stopped to think that maybe youâre the cunt here.

Otherwise, Iâm inclined to watch each film once to keep the kids happy. We are off this afternoon at 5:00 to see it⌠
When I watched them as a kid Ben Kenobi was my favourite. Loved them but Iâve only ever seen the original three, I really need to catch up.
No, no you donât.

The latest trilogy, 7, 8 and 9, were decent or better. The prequels, 1, 2 and 3, were just awful and have no redeeming features whatsoever. Avoid them.

My favourite memory now of seeing the very first one was queing with my Granda for hours outside the Odeon in Glasgow to see it.
When we eventually got home my Dad asked him if he liked it - his reply was âa load of fucking shiteâ and downed a whisky it was the only time I ever heard him swear

Bearable because it doesnât have too much of the poxy Star Wars world surrounding it. However, she had to climb up to the top of a tower to retrieve a fuckin CD. What? CDs are fucking obsolete now and these cunts have created weapons that are able to fire a pulsed chunk of light, or something. Ruined it for me.

One thing that has bugged me since I was a 7 year old though is how an X Wings undercarriage retracts into the engines

Maybe the empire forces are closet AAâers, desperately clinging onto CDs in the vain hope that either a) CDs make some sort of comeback or b) they die before stocks of laser mechs run out

Nah, itâd be reel to reel. Thatâs why AA will never have an empire.
