Title: Star Wars
Post by: RED-DOG on August 17, 2007, 09:44:50 PM
If you had never seen any of the Star Wars films, would it be better to watch them in the order they were released, or to watch the prequels (sp) "The Phantom Menace" "Attack of the Clones" etc first?

I would suggest in release order, if only because the special effects get better as you go along. The earlier ones, production wise, would seem tame if you watched them last.

I just prefer to never watch them ever again  ;)

In order of release, just makes sense.

But the first 3 are still the best!

Watch the prequals first, it works better that way,
I did this a few weeks back when i was off work with my ankle, great stuff!!

I'd say watch them in the order they were made.

i would say if your new to them then watch them 1-6 but if you have already seen them then the order they are made is good due to the effects

although eps 1 could be left out

Oh I'm not watching them, I never have. (apart from the first one when it came out 30 years ago) My daughter bought the complete set from the car boot and asked me which way round to watch them.

Life on Earth, The Life of Birds, Planet Earth, The Blue Planet, The life of Plants etc. Now those I have watched over and over again and they are still mind blowing.

Must go, Big Brother starting....

lol..I'm guessing this is a "must go" as in "Have to get out of the house to avoid this driffle"?

Do you watch QI, Red? Now that's a program where the audience aren't actually automatically assumed to be stupid and you'll pick up some quite interesting tid-bits. Things you always believed to be correct (and were taught to be correct) actually turn out to be complete non-sense.

Did anyone know for instance that Marco Polo probably never actually went to China?

The producer of QI, John Lloyd, co-wrote The Meaning of Liff with Douglas Adams they used an excerpt in one of the shows. It's a funny book

I'd watch 1-3 in order and punt 4-6 on ebay. Empire Strikes Back is a classic bit of cinema
