I haven't watched Enterprise Voyager was the one I watched every week with my dad when I was a teenager. I guess by the time I was teenager, good Trek shows ran out of steam. If only tng and ds9 were on when I was cogent enough to appreciate them.

But no one likes episode 1. Star wars fans agree with you.

I do. Its problem is that it's pretty much all terribly executed and seems like what should be 45 minutes of another film stretched out. And that it's better after you already know Palpatine's plot because you can be all weebay.gif. I prefer it to most of II and all of III probably. And it has a top-favorite scene:

The part with the forcefields plz.

The secret to the prequels is to skip 95% of scenes with Anakin in them and 90% of the ones with Padme in them. Just pretend it's about Obi-Wan and Palpatine.

I also like Nemesis. Dat space battle.

Growing up, there was definitely a window of opportunity when I was a kid thirsty for anything imaginative— whether it was fantasy or sci-fi I didn't care, I just spongy imagination was ready to absorb anything. Unfortunately, it was a time when the rest of the world wasn't yet submerged in Western culture and getting something like Star Wars wasn't only a few clicks away. Had I seen the movies during that period, I would have totally been a spergdork today.

Oddly, this is how I feel about Gundam. Every male in Japan seems to have a Star Wars-level fascination with Gundam. They are still selling original series Gundam plastic models in every toy store in Japan. But as much as I know it would have grabbed my as a kid, I can't really get into the series as an adult.

I saw Jedi in the theater during it's original release.

Not as old as some duders here, but still feels old man.

Me too. I was six years old I think? Seems right.

I was 9 years old when I saw "A New Hope" in theaters. Before it was called "A New Hope" or "Episode IV," come to think of it.

which gundams have you seen?

Yulwei · « **Reply #126 on:** January 31, 2014, 08:03:37 PM »

I think I watched some of episode 1. All the other stuff I know about Star Wars comes from games/pop culture references.

I've watched some Star Trek episodes here and there but I just couldn't get into it. I prefer my sci-fi in book form, tbh.

Although, I do remember watching a quarter of Wrath Of Kan and enjoying it. Those ear bugs were the stuff of nightmares. Maybe I should pick that movie up some time

I honestly don't even remember. I think I watched the movie version which compresses the first series, also watched some of that in the original TV series edition, a little of Turn-A (which apparently NO-ONE likes), and one other from about 10 years back.

Turn A is regarded highly, at least in the west. Shame, 0079 trilogy is my favorite gundam. Not the best, but definitely my fave.

What is Gundam Wing then? Because that's the only Gundam I've ever seen (about 10 episodes of it)

Himu · « **Reply #132 on:** January 31, 2014, 10:50:36 PM »

gundam wing is its own little thing in its own universe. gundam has or had a main timeline called Universal Century (UC) and after a period of time, they made Gundam series not in the main timeline and are completely different stories. Wing isn't particularly good, however.

Gundam Wing is Maki Murakami's Hot Gundam Guys.

So much has changed from when I was nine, to now that my son is nine. Star Wars was the height of excitement for me at that age, but after seeing The Phantom Menace, my son couldn't be bothered to watch something that didn't have a spaceship fight every other scene, or a pod race. Lucas was right that the movie would appeal to kids; it's too bad that it ONLY appeals to kids.
