I've never watched the Star Wars saga in the "Machete Order," I might try to give that a shot before TFA.

Didnt know what it was but sounds good to me. No EPI FTW :lol

Yeah I like the idea of AOTC and ROTS as flashback fill-ins. I might have to give it a go

I just finished "Hell Bent," I can't wait to get into the finale. I've been so bogged down with holiday stuff that it's been throwing off my rhythm.

Boy, trying to watch all 6 of the Star Wars films before The Force Awakens comes out. Watched Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones last night.

Yeah, I also have no reason to ever watch those again. Would sooner watch the Schumacher Batman movies.

I'd sooner watch the prequels than the Burton Batman movies.

2. Do you think HT will release a BB-8?

Well here is our answer:

The highly accurate BB-8 collectible is specially crafted on the image of the unique designed droid in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It features a newly developed spherical body embedded with self-balancing mechanisms, LED light up eyes, and a specially designed Jakku desert-themed figure base attachable to Rey’s hexagonal figure stand.

...nope.

Love me some Burton Batman.

I was right. BB-8 is a weeble with lights.

Doing the same with the wife and step-daughter who has never seen them. I watched the PT with the step-daughter who I think hates Star Wars now... The OT I saved for the wife and finished ESB last night. I'm pretty sure she likes it. Hopefully she never sees the PT until later on...

Is the HT figure supposed to look like Rey?

You look surprisingly good after that...

I don't think there's a need to watch those..... Ever again.

I mean it. They're bad films, I don't like them at all, so why watch? Attack of the Clones might be the single worst film I've ever watched in a theatre.

Yeah, I have no real desire to watch them again... they are a trainwreck from start to finish.

Boba Ben said:
I'm watching due to a few reasons. I haven't seen the prequels since first watching them in the theater, so I figured I'd watch them to see if they are as bad as I remember and if I still hate them. Also, there was a certain series of threads that were started to defend the prequels where it was stated that us prequel haters only hat the prequel trilogy due to our blind nostalgic views of the OT, so I wanted to see if that point was valid at all. Additionally, I softened a bit to the era while watching the Clone Wars cgi show on Netflix, which I enjoy quite a lot, actually. So far, things aren't faring too well. Oh well, just one more to get through and then it's Harmy Star Wars.

I've seen the PT films quite a few times over the years; so I can say without any sort of reservation that they are crap, have always been crap and will continue to be crap until the end of time. Again, there are some bright moments... but the films are bloated, often pointless and do more harm than good to Star Wars. I think the 3 could possibly be edited down to one good movie, but I still think a complete redo would be in order :lol

Topher Grace (yes Eric Forman :rotfl

) did a edit of all three down to one movie around hour and half long and is supposed to good but was only shown once publicly. I think other fans have tried the same thing but never watched it.
