So, I grew up on the Star Wars movies. Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and all that jazz. Despite this, there was never a time when I could put any of the movies in my favorites, and one of my friends pointed this out to me. It got me thinking about why that was, so I went back and watched all the movies to figure it out. That's when I noticed, I love the idea behind Star Wars, with the lightsabers, space battles, intergalactic smugglers, evil empire, and the light and dark sides of the force, but I don't actually LIKE Star Wars. Luke just sort of annoys me, Han is cool, but nothing new, Leia was just kinda there, and I have never found Vader intimidating. Weirdly, the only Star Wars movie I like is the one everyone else seems to hate: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace. Qui-gon is my all time favorite Jedi and I absolutely love the mystique of Darth Maul. I even found myself really liking Amadala. Yet, all the other movies and even the TV shows just do nothing for me. I prefer the games, namely the Old Republic games. It got me curious, did anyone else have the same reaction? If you're a fan of Star Wars, don't take this as a hate rant, it's just my viewpoint, but I would like to know if anyone else ever felt that way. It doesn't even have to be about Star Wars, more just you realized that you enjoyed an idea behind a movie, book, or game more the actually media itself. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say on the subject.
