I was 25 when the first one came out (Episode IV) and watched it 7 or 8 times myself; it was great fun. Unfortunately for the Star Wars saga, that first film seems to have aged much better than Lucas' ability to cast and direct his vision. BTW, I don't expect to be "enlightened" or "bequethed with power of the force", but when I go to see an overhyped mega-million dollar feature I do expect to be entertained without wincing at corny cliche` dialogue and bad acting. Note: If I wanted that, I would stick strictly with the serials of the 30's and 40's! When viewed in the context of the times they were filmed those classic 12-15 Chapter cliffhangers have a great deal more heart and are loads of fun.My suggestion, if you haven't seen Spidey, "Clone" yourself and go to that instead. :o)
