Wait, how is this a reveal if you watch in that order? Isn’t it known that Luke is Anakin’s child?
Your pony looks like it ran into a machete.
Yeah, I didn’t get that either.
I added context for why it works.
I thought that was implied. But I guess I can see why additional explanation might help sell it.
Is it? Was a long time ago, barely remember the prequels. My son was pretty (maybe too) young, so he definitely didn’t know prior to the reveal.
Yeah, at the end of three Padme gives birth to Luke and Leia. We know who knocked her up.
I guess if he fell asleep during 3, it would make sense. Can’t blame him for that.

Still should be 456123 for everyone imo. 4 is too good of an adventure movie, it works well to get you into the story fast, 1 is slow and plodding and doesn’t really feel like the beginning of anything.
I don’t know what 789 is, that never happened.

And Obi-Wan gives Luke to Owen and Beru, it’s all laid out.

I think TPM is the first movie I remember seeing in theatres. But the prequels do suck.

Agreed. The tonal shift between Empire and TPM would be kinda cool and a lot more consistent going from the goofiness of 1, 2, 3 to the barely better than TPM goofiness of Return of the Jedi.
I would go
4, 5, 1, 2, 3, R1, 6, Mandalorian s2 finale, 7, 8
I’d understand if anyone skipped 8, but I think stopping there is a great way to end the saga.
I’m sure they’ll work more Skywalker stuff into the ongoing prequel and midquel stuff like Book of Boba Fett.
If anyone has a kid that can’t get enough, the Jenny Nicholson reading of the script for Episode 9 before Carrie Fisher’s passing required extensive rewrites is everything I would have wanted from a final Star Wars movie about the Skywalkers.
Then show them Rise of Skywalker and be like okay but do you want to know how it could have been even worse???
You may be right about the ages making a big difference even if it was just by a few years. Every year before 18 is like a lifetime of changes.
When TPM came out, I’d just gotten out of an extended hospital stay where my best movie choices were VHS recordings I’d made of VH1 music videos and How to Make An American Quilt.
Idk obv there are lots of people who shared your POV when it came out.
Actually, there’s at least one native Japanese, a well-known actress, of the same name who writes her name the same way (in katakana), though it’s her stage name and not her true given name.
And here’s a list of 173 ways you could potentially form the name ARISU using kanji.
Yeah my gf was born 4 years before me and we keep having conversations where she’s like “remember this cool band that everyone liked” and I’m like “lol you mean the washed up band for old people”.
Lollllllll so true about music especially who were some of the bands??
Mostly stuff you wouldn’t have heard of. Do you know INXS? I think they made it out of Australia?

INXS was huge here for a while.
I was looking at some band’s tour dates recently and saw they were playing a festival in Australia. And then I saw that Crowded House was HEADLINING the festival. WTF? How in the world is that band a draw in Australia in 2022?
