Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread
One of the smartest statements i've ever seen posted.
Hold on, brb, need to go tuck my son in with his Star Wars blanket and turn on his Raiders night light and get him his Mad Max water bottle and put away his Robocop slippers and sing him his T2 lullaby song.
It's funny because I actually don't care at all if I kids are ever nostalgic for the PT (though I took my 6 year old daughter to TPM 3D last year and she was bored out of her mind for about the middle hour of it.) It's the damn OT SE's that will never see the light of day in my house. There have been movies that I've thought were temporarily "better" than others in a series such as Batman Forever and Terminator 2. Then a few years after each I got a clue and realized how utterly superior their predecessors were.
My kids will *never* live and breathe the phenomenon of SW like it was when we were kids so I'm not going to behave as if I can pigeonhole that experience into their lives. If they like the PT fine. If they like the OT more, great. If they prefer the PT now it only means they'll come to their senses later. Whatever works and however they want to do it is fine with me.
I can never enjoy T2 like I did when I was in my teens. I'm glad that my more naïve self got to have fun with it when I could. I've now got the rest of my life to appreciate the lower budget, non-CG, and all around superior original film just like my kids might do with SW one day.
