We are a Star Wars family! The last Christmas we lived in the apartment (13 years ago) I got Hubby the 3video set as a gift! We were moving so they were quickly put into a box. When we moved in and still had so much work to do. I searched them out, set up a tv and a chair for W to watch. AND did he WATCH? He watched and fell in love with the original Star War movies.
I can remember seeing the first Star Wars movie in the movie theatre, I vividly remember that first opening scene with the words floating up the screen. Being mesmerized at everything, in that first movie. Being in love with Luke Skywalker. Hoping that Luke and Lea would get together but then learned they were brother and sister! GASP!
How could they trust Landau? How could he be good and then freeze Han in Carbon? then the bomb.... "Luke I'm your father" WHAT, how could that be? I always knew the end before I ever even thought about the beginning. I was left for years with questions, how were they brother and sister?, does Han survive the Carbonite?, How did Anakin turn to the dark side? and Why did Jobba the Hutt want Han (guess we still don't know that)...
The youngest Star War's fan, "G" ~ the day we set up our big screen tv, the first movie was Star Wars! episode III
Little G doesn't have any of the same memories that I have ~ he's always know Luke and Leah were brother and sister....he's always known that Darth Vador was their father, he's always known how Anakin turned to the dark side, he's always known why he wears the 'vador suit'. He's always known who the 'chosen one' was, the one that would bring balance the force. He's known the beginning, middle and end!
This just doesn't make sense.... Little G's (and his generation) Star War's experience is so very different than the rest of our families (the older generation).

Yep, it seems each generation is different that way. I'm guessing that our parents say the same about our generation.
