Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

the original 3 are good (a new hope/empire/return of the jedi) and the rest are bullshit

yeah, that's what I heard, too.

funny thing is that I haven't seen any of them, still know everything about it, thanks to 9gag through osmosis.

for a long time, this is why I decided not to watch any of thr movies, as I never would be able to experience it as first time.

but now, since I'm a bit older I know that's stupid, it's just some movie so I'll watch those eventually with gf.

The thing I like about the original Star Wars trilogy is not that they were great stories, but just that they had really, really good pacing. The characters and scenarios were introduced at just the right rate so that when the big action scenes came around you really cared about them, especially in the first one. That's also where the later films fell down. I don't consider myself a huge Star Wars fan, but I would say it's worth appreciating for the art of it even if you already know the stories.

I'm not toxic, but I am a fan! So, so much money in the franchise and they've all been mediocre-to-bad since Return of the Jedi. Some slight exaggeration to this opinion, but it's mostly true. And there are some truly incredible stories in the old novels that are now discarded and considered not canon. Such wasted potential...

Capitalism doesn't care that what made Star Wars special in the first place was that it only came out every twenty years of so.
