So the general concensus is that the intelligent types are the ones who can really appreciate the OT? a film about magicians in space and explosions and special effects and little robots made out of tin?
the OT (and Star Wars in general) is not about intelligence.
it's just a fun film, that pushes the world of coincidences a little far and occasionally ignors the laws of physics, to a degree mostly acceptable at the time.
you've completely chosen to take the most offensive interpretation of what i said.
Lucas suggested the age division, i mearley explained it.
older people are generally more experienced and intelligent, and will express themselves in a manner in which they will be heard and understood (clearly, i have failed there).
younger people who have been brought up in a society that, now more than ever, rewards stupidity and vilifies intelligence, are less likley to make a coherent point one way or the other and therefore their opinions are less likey to put up a strong argument against someone who has an additional 10-20 years of arguing under their belt.
i know intelligent people who like the PT, theyr'e the only people worth arguing about it to...
i'm not going to explain it to a ten year old... i'll let him find out for himself in ten years.
geeeze, i never said that SW was a pinacle of scholared craftsmanship, just a good yarn.
it wasn't made for the intelligent, it was made for EVERYONE. the PT was made strictly for kids.
so take a few steps back there...
and the newer kids are dumber, thats why they like the PT more, y'know, those films about magicians in space and explosions and special effects and little robots made out of tin?
you said it not me...
what has the OT become?!
severly edited of all its goodness...
