Star Wars is,(and always will be) Ultra Cool... I remember all the hype on the T.V and Radio leading up to it. I went to see it with my Dad. it used groundbreaking effects never seen before and became a blueprint for many science fiction movies......May the force be with you!

i know there are about 100:) star wars but never seen any of them and i feel like im missing out something because of a lot of people around me likes star wars so surely it must be good;;

 

Same here, never seen any of them, no intention to ever do so. I was starting to think I was the only person in the world never to have watched them..

I love star wars. It was a major feature of my childhood and they are a fantastic series.

I'm 41 and have loved Star Wars since it was first ever on TV.

Luckily both my sons love it too and the eldest (8yrs) is arming himself with as much Star Wars Lego as he can!

If you like sci-fi in whatever medium you choose... well you probably think 'Star Wars' is great. Though I've come across the odd sci-fi person, (very odd) who didn't like the premise.

 

I personally think they're great. But I'm into sci-fi book, films and even been to a rare theatre performance of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. As to 'SWs', I prefer the first three made, those that are now viewed as the second trilogy. Ok, so the last three made, (first trilogy in new money) have better FX. But that doesn't make the FX of the other three less accomplished.

 

If you want low tech high tech, watch films like 'Forbidden Plant' one if my favourite films of all time, using a similar plot to that of Willy Shakes' play The Tempest. Or films like 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' and the 'Quatermass' films. Then there's the first few 'Doctor Who' series and all of the TV series of Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Star Trek the original series, Supercar Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, the over optimistic Space 1999 or UFO. The super cheesy Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. If you're impressionable or easily lead astray, you'll have to look away when Erin Gray is on screen.

 

There's so many sci-fi books and their authors, it would be foolish of me to mention some but not all. However, Asimov stands head & shoulders above so many. Amongst other greats, stand Orson Scott Card, Frank Herbert and Arthur C. Clarke.

 

Think I better finish here.

Star Wars is awesome and for the game console owners amongst us look up the new Star Wars battlefront.

An absolute avid SF fan when younger.

Never saw a single SW film, not interested.

Wtf was that light sabre nonsense when obviously they would have developed lazar rifles guns etc (for instance)

Might watch them from start to finish out of dumb curosity
