Here's a video of some diehard fans experiencing that moment. Some Australian filmmakers made a documentary called The Phandom Menace where they followed some fans around and interviewed them immediately before and after seeing Ep 1 for the first time. Skip ahead to 24:00 for the fans lining up to see the first midnight screening and then skip ahead to 31:15 to see their reactions immediately afterwards.

i'm watching the beginning of season 6 of the clone wars on a friends recommendation and it's actually p good?

a premature triggering of "order 66" in a single clone sets off a passable star wars conspiracy thriller type plot and i find it's actually engaging and i actually care how it plays out

It's either incredible laziness by the various writers or an intentional homage to older sci-fi, depending on how charitable you want to be. Tatooine for example is clearly an homage/ripoff of Dune's Arrakis.

There's a reason the clone wars series is the only non-movie thing disney decided to keep canon. It's unironically pretty good and gives prople like anakin and obi-wan actual personalities and depth.

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
In Season Five of the Clone Wars TV Series, Anakin's padawan gets framed for a crime. She doesn't actually trust Anakin enough to protect her so she goes on the run with her ex-Sith archenemy to become a bounty hunter.

I would totally watch "two renegade Jedi and Sith teenagers travel the galaxy as bounty hunters while running from the crazed religious fanatics on both sides that consider them traitors."

I gave up on the NJO not even halfway through Vector Prime, mostly because that was sufficient to make me absolutely loathe the concept of the Yuuzhan Vong, but also because I recall that everyone seemed to be out of character all the time. Luke and co. have never been friends with Fey'lya! They don't chummily call him by his first name every time they talk to him!!

it was pretty daft how noted conservative, racist senator borsk fey'lya got to make some sort of huge heroic sacrifice when he was most notably known for being a conniving political antagonist who took glee in enforcing weird ideas of bothan supremacy (eg: gavin and asyr)

battlefront 2 was garbage because it became less about learning to get good at certain classes than it was "the jedi wins"

also the space levels and vehicles were terrible

also they took away the ability to death star planets in galactic conquest mode

also they ruined galactic conquest mode in general

An old friend of mine once went on an EU research tangent on the adventures of Lobot, Lando's cyborg secretary, because he suddenly remembered/realized/decided that Lobot was awesome.

I think that's pretty much the best place to be in, as far as how to appreciate Star Wars - focus on the things that are bad in such a way that they become funny, and therefore good.

those mods were always hilarious because the engine itself couldn't handle a ship size over a certain limit. you'd get these massive ships that would sort of turn aimlessly in random directions and barely ever respond to where you actually wanted it to go
