One trick puppy? Haven't you seen Howard the Duck?
oh, btw, I think he wrote Indiana Jones.
No .. is it really really good?
No, Howard the Duck may be the worst movie of all time.
Also Lucas directed American Graffiti which was an instant classic.
I don't know about the grandmother bit.Oh yea, and she (Carrie) is probably old enough to be a granny to most of the folks here
She was born October 21, 1956, so she will be 52 in October.
But back in 1977, when "Star Wars" was released, she was all of 22 and a very nice 22 at that!
The novels are amazing. I have 70 of them.
I want to see the Thrawn trilogy turned into movies; the books Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command.
Thrawn is my favorite villain, ever.
Oh, and his full name is Mitthrawnuruodo. Sound familiar to anyone here?
I call A.
Seriously, watching them in "episode order" would spoil some events from eps IV-VI, and much of what interest eps I-III have is in providing background to eps IV-VI rather than the stories themselves, which are...not so great. (Although I have to admit I like ep III better than VI.) Of course, watching eps IV-VI first would spoil some events from eps I-III, but it's better that way...you're "meant" to have those spoilers....--Eric
No, it's not.
You probably don't have any imagination.

Thanks Eric. You're too kind.
Could yak all night but the Pang Brother's The Eye is on in a min.
I think that you've pretty much captured my quandary.I call A.
Well, I decided to watch them in series order (I --> VI).
For IV through VI I am going to watch the updated versions.
Normally, I watch the original versions since I grew up with them so to speak. But the updated ones seem to fit better due the special effects.

For me,
Star Wars can do no wrong.
I wish someone would just pick up where Lucas left off and keep making the movies. F it, make like twenty more of em' !
I want the Tv show too!
Give them to me immediately

Finally, someone speaking some sense.
And for those who want more, here is the trailer for The Clone Wars: The Animated Series

That trailer looks great.
The only thing is, we sort of know what happens. I mean there's a scene where Anakin is battling Dooku, obviously nobody is going to die. Unless they bring in some disposable enemies, but still we know Obi-Wan & Anikan can't die. I mean they can probably kill off that girl assassin character. But that's about it. I'll still watch it though. That trailer looks great.
Yeah, I'm glad that they are still continuing the Star Wars universe on screen.
It means alot to us slightly older members. The original films helped shape a generation.
Now that I've viewed them this way, I think this was a good way to do it.
Going in series order with the updated IV-VI versions made it seem to flow pretty good. Although there are some slightly disjointed parts it worked well.
On a side note, I also enjoy watching the first three (IV-VI) in original format. Kind of nostalgic that way.
wow.... how did someone look inside my 11-year old mind and find my prepubescent sex fantasy:
