    The point where Star Wars totally lost me was when it turned out C3PO was fucking built by Darth Vader when he was a kid. I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief anymore. I loved the original three movies when I was a kid, but damn, it’s completely left me behind at this point.

      I recommend seeing the sequels, if only to make the prequels look halfway decent by comparison… The third especially is a dumpster fire.

      I left phantom menace disappointed but hopeful.

      Clone wars opens with Anakin and Obi wan talking about a better movie they didn’t make.

      I left revenge of the sith convinced that’s not how it actually happened, that the last three movies weren’t actually canon, but like, a story someone told about Darth Vader centuries after the fact.

      Like all the stories about King Arthur, all different.
