One of my favorite family moments with a young child
I am watching my niece for the weekend, she must be 5 or 6 at this time. We had a good day and when it was getting dark she laid down on the couch and said she wanted to watch "the princess movie". I was like ... hmmm ok which one of my DVDs was she talking about....
After a bit of do you mean this one? and showing it to her? no? ok.... next and then I started to make it a silly game
but then she got up and went straight to Empire Strikes Back and said
THE PRINCESS MOVIE Uncle thisbenzingring!!!!! and game me the duh!!!!! look
I fell so deeply in love with that girl that day
- My son shouting THATS ANAKINS LIGHT SABER when Luke faced Kylo was one of my favorites.
  
  We were all very proud of him that day. 🤘🏼
depends on "the stuff" we're talking about?
the OT? it's an obligation. The Holiday Special? it's frowned on, but hey, a little torture is good for them, right? the prequels? naw. the sequels? You monster you.
- The NYT article is specifically about Andor
  
  Well that would be weird because
  Andor is not for children
  Andor is the least star-wars-like Star Wars
  Andor is actually good
  
  That's NYT's fault then, for phrasing the headline to illicit interaction via confusion. Profit-ticking obfuscation is a cheap trick.
- What about Caravan of Courage?
  
  Morality fables are of some value. Don't go wandering off, kiddos.
- I watched the prequels first as a child. I still like Jar Jar.
  
  Your parents failed early.
  
  Jar Jar is a Sith Lord.
  your parents led you to have horrible role models.
  (naw. if you enjoy them, you enjoy them. honestly, Jar Jar is the least annoying thing about the prequels. Emo Vader pisses me off.)
Only if it's not the sequels, as they would be considered cruel and unusual.
- If you think it's justified to force anyone to watch the prequels you are a monster beyond retribution.
  
  And if you think about forcing your 70's nostalgia on your offspring, you should lose custody.
  Basically, only the Clone Wars is allowed.
The real question is chronological or release order?
- watch in this order: 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6
  
  I like this; it treats 1-3 like a flashback.
  
  Now that's controversial
  
  This is the "Extended Machete" order, isn't it?
- For introducing someone new to the series, release order, no question.
  For rewatch marathons, chronological order.
  
  That's what I recon
- Machete. This is the Way.
  Also, this clever fleshbag has some intriguing notions. Fair warning: it's old AF. 🤣
  
  I'm not a fan of the Machete order. While it preserves the Vader reveal, it spoils Leia's parentage.
You missed the publication deadline by 10 days, John.
- Nah he does this exact kinda case year round. Pretty good podcast/column
You can FORCE them if you stay on the good side. Always look on the bright side of force.
