>>>One needs to experience that - well, film - to know he hates it.<<<

This is film number 5 in the series. If you -- by "you" I'm referring to the critic/reviewer -- think your mind is going to change about George Lucas or the Star Wars movies after seeing the first 4, you're quite the optimist. You need to put the SW movies into the right perspective -- what audience is Lucas mainly targeting? I'll give you a hint: it's NOT the reviewers/critics. The point I'm making is this: if you are a reviewer/critic and you don't like Lucas and/or the Star Wars films, do NOT review them. If you were a food critic and you hated eggs, why would you get anything that contained eggs when you went in to a restaurant to critique it? "Hi, my name is Mr Reviewer. I don't like Star Wars movies and I don't like George Lucas. That said, let me tell you about Attack of the Clones". Kinda stupid, isn't it.

>>>I think it was around 1981 or so, so I am sure you would know which one I was mistoftunate to see.<<<

Around 1981 -- was it 1980? -- would have been "The Empire Strikes Back". Of all the SW films, this got the most "praise". If you are off by 2 years (1983), then it would have been "Return of the Jedi".
