    So the sci fi geeks are having their big day again apparently.

    "May the fourth be with you" and other nerdy word plays are popping up all over the place but does anyone else think it's a load of old bollox?

    And you have no big day. Aw. Poor you...

    So if I say yes in this poll I am saying I like Star Wars and want to have someone put their penis up my bum but if I say no I think people who do like it are nerds? Also if I chose the normally neutral response of Atari Jaguar I am not neutral but in fact prefer obsolete games consoles to Star Wars?

    I'm sure your poll will result in a non-biased accurate response to how people feel about the movies.



    I didn't vote but I loved the original 3 movies but hate the new movies.

    You know what else is crap? The Big Lebowski! I seriously think people only like this movie because they think other people do and they feel they should!

    Yeah, it's always other people though right?

    And people who like it like it because those other people do. It's a terrible movie!

    Never seen any of them due to people wrecking my head about them, know most if not all the entire story due to parodies which were stupid too,except for Family Guys ones.

    OP is really getting the hang of surfing the culture wave. Everyone should know that he's also started disliking zombies and bacon but that The Big Labowski is still way cool.


    If you wanna be more like the dude, let people have their silly day without you outputting all this negativity, maaaaaaaaaaaan.

    Hey, hey you! It's going 7 in the morning and I took the time to bump your thread with a sardonic reply, I could be studying for that test I have in two hours! You should thank me buddy, guy!

    How can you not like TBL? literally a magical movie right there. I see you like football though, that's ****e! Ha, nailed you after all :cool:

    Oh, and Star Wars was awesome until ruined by it's own creators with shoite prequels and endless digital add ons.

    For the last 30 odd years ever since as a child sitting in the front row of the cinema and watching that opening scene with the Empire ship flying overhead, Star Wars (ep 4) has had a place in my heart.
    Though it's a bit dated now and has quite a few goofs I still watch it the odd time if it's on telly, and it always brings back memories of its sheer mindblowingness to a young kid from rural Cork in 1978. :)

    This is the point, if you didn't see these films in the 70's and 80's you are never going to fully get it.

    The original movie changed movies forever, not all of those changes were good (mass merchandising movies) but without Star Wars we wouldnt have Pixar, or ILM, or THX sound, or Lucasarts games.

    The prequels are sh1te though

    Well the first one was a breath of fresh air. CG below sums it up perfectly.

    +1 There was an urban Dublin kid right there with ya. :)

    It was an amazing kids adventure movie. Kids, not podgy 35 year olds with light sabre collections. The second one was a good un. Best of the series as a film. The third was a steaming pile of shíte, rattled out to wrap things up. The prequels are technically brilliant, but story wise pretty shíte. Rotten dialogue.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Exactly! I hate the way some nerds on here think they're not nerds. You bloody are. Star wars or not.

    It has to be said that Star Wars, and everything about it, is the biggest load of bollocks the world has ever known. It could have been worse though, it could have been a series of musicals.
