watch the despecialized original trilogy - it's the trilogy as seen in the cinemas without the added george lucas shit.
it's a boy who becomes the hero

is that the one on disney? I was just gonna watch it from there, or should I torrent

No, the Disney one has been modified.

is it actually that much different tho? that it ruins the movie

why start now, when the franchise has gone to shit?

The originals are much more campy than you might expect.

Yes.

expect disappointment

ok explain how or why it does

This is a bait thread.

no dont listen to that retard its fine

meds

pretty based movie. chewbacca is the only black guy in it.

ill listen to u since he cant backup his claim

Just watch it on Disney+. The specialized editions are not so radically different that its worth the effort to track them down.

Also, don't start with A New Hope. Start with The Phantom Menace, finish with Return of the Jedi, then watch Rogue One, The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett. Alternately you can watch Rogue One after Revenge of the Sith as an interlude.

The Prequels are better if you watch them before the Original Trilogy. They do not spoil the OT because you already know who Luke Skywalker's father is via cultural osmosis. In fact, they make the OT significantly better.

Star Wars has always kind of sucked. A New Hope and Empire are the only decent ones, everything else is bad and was made to sell toys.

*despecialized

only watch original trilogy and ignore everything else

despecialised is shit

>then watch Rogue One, The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.
do not listen to this faggot. ignore all shitty disney/filoni fanfiction.

either go 4/5/6 despecialized followed by the prequels, or 1-6 normal, depending on whether you want the 'intended' experience or the 'original' experience. doesn't really matter.

>Also, don't start with A New Hope. Start with The Phantom Menace

Terrible advice. You're supposed to watch the prequels knowing the end of the story.

it adds some pretty jarringly bad cgi. I would say Empire is improved by the changes tho.

>What am I in for?
Original trilogy - Flash Gordon styled hero's journey with really solid establishing shots and musical backing. The Force is basically magic.

Prequel trilogy - Retro-futurist aesthetic that tells the functional inverse of the story told by original trilogy. The camerawork is less good imo but the sets and music are still stellar. The Force is not really magic.

Sequel trilogy - A slightly crungier aesthetic that tells the hero's journey again but with some twists on the character roles therein. I didn't like most of the cinematography in the trilogy but the music wasn't bad. The Force is back to being magic again, which I appreciated.

Most of the special edition alterations are for the best. Don't listen to that autist.

Sequel trilogy music is bland and forgettable.

watch the first trilogy (a new hope, empire strikes back, return of the jedi) and nothing else

Kylo's theme is fine, and the actual music that backs Carrie Fisher's dumbass superman flight scene (The Supremacy) is kino, I highly recommend revisiting it.

Most Special Edition edits are okay however the final one George did before passing it to Disney absolutely fucking destroyed it. Most people don’t realize it because they haven’t seen the final edit, but George almost certainly deliberately fucked it up. Macklunkey…Watch the actual originals.

Thanks lads Im gonna take this info and analyse for best action, hope I still get laid after this
