Good Daddy👍

I just had this convo the other day with someone...'Best SW movie'

Rogue One ranks very highly for me, it was a pretty perfect WWII film if made at another time (Beach stormings, espionage, tragedy...)

Tell us what your daughter thinks of BTTF, that was a fun series

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

We actually had an ‘in joke’. Every time one of the Generals made a mistake my daughter knew Vader would Force choke them and she’d giggle and say, “Daddy, if he keeps killing everyone, he won’t have any Generals left.”

I’ll let you know how BTTF goes.

My ranking is very close except move TLJ & TRoS to the bottom and switch TPM and RotS.

I love hearing about children seeing these for the first time. It makes me briefly forget my cruddy opinion of half of the franchise. Reminds me of unbridled joy.

You going to show her Mandalorian and the other assorted spinoff stuff? The Gendy Tartakovski Clone Wars shorts are excellent ... not so much the other cartoon of the same name.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

I’ve got hundreds of films to get through first.

[–] Kowalski (79078) 4 years ago

WE HAVE THE SAME RANKINGS...EXCEPT SOLO...I REALLY DISLIKED THAT ONE...BOTTOM OF THE LIST FOR ME.

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I haven't even seen half of those but I'd probably watch them over the new stuff.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

We did them in the following order 4,5,6 - 1,2,3 - Rogue One (which is like part 3 and a half) - 7,8,9 - Solo last. Enjoy!

I saw the original trilogy again recently and I have confirmed that Empire is overrated.

reply

[–] Kowalski (79078) 4 years ago

YOU WERE THAT KID THAT REMINDED THE TEACHER SHE HADNT ASSIGNED HOMEWORK...WERENT YOU?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58599) 4 years ago

I never said it wasn't good, just that it was overrated. The first film is the best of the series.

reply

[–] Kowalski (79078) 4 years ago

ITS COOL..STAR WARS DOESNT EVEN CRACK MY TOP 100...I LIKE BUT DONT LOVE THEM.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

In the words of Chewbacca: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=myhYNsRXYgs

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

I can actually do a passable Chewie impression.

[–] Kowalski (79078) 4 years ago

WOW...THATS COOL...HAVENT WATCHED STAR WARS WITH MY DAUGHTER YET...WE DID THE FULL MCU THOUGH.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

Excellent!

We have a similar schedule: -
Monday-Thursday - Daddy, daughter time. I pick things that I hope she'll enjoy.
Friday - I'm in the pub, so that's my day of rest.
Saturday & Sunday - Mrs K joins us, so it's more family themed stuff.

reply

[–] Kowalski (79078) 4 years ago

DAMN YOU GET A DAY OFF AND YOUR WIFE ISNT A SELFISH HELL BEAST WHO TERRIFIES YOUR DAUGHTER?....CAN WE MOVE IN WITH YOU?🤔🙂

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

Friday is pub day (unless we're going away somewhere) - thems the rules!

My wife is the funniest woman I've ever met - she might kill you with laughter.

As for moving in, we've plenty of room, but I'd have to build another extension to house your media collection. Plus, there's no smoking inside, so that might not appeal to you, lol.

You forgot Octonauts (which are really cute! I can watch at least two Octonauts episodes at a time).

reply

[–] Kowalski (79078) 4 years ago

OCTONAUTS WERE SOME YEARS BACK.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

what was her favourite?
i've heard kids find the pacing of the original films to be a bit of a slog. did she have any trouble getting through them

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

She genuinely appeared to enjoy them all.

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21716) 4 years ago

Sounds awesome! Which was her favorite!?

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

She liked them all and seemed really interested in finding out why Vader turned out the way he did.

She was drawn to certain characters. She thought R2D2, Chewie, Yoda and BB8 were cute and she thought Rey was cool.

reply

[–] 102000 (6349) 4 years ago

My son was 4 1/2 when I took him to see Star Wars in 1977 - he loved every minute of it.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

When I watched it in 1977 everyone went aww! when the Jawas electrocuted R2D2. Without any prompting, over 40 years later, my daughter did exactly the same thing.

reply

[–] 102000 (6349) 4 years ago

I remember how much fun it was to go to the movie theater to see this - pure escapism. It really is unfortunate that Disney got their hands on the franchise.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39849) 4 years ago

Fortunately, my daughter was able to watch the whole series without any expectations or bias. Clutching her little green light sabre, she physically gasped every time she saw the Death Star. In the prequels, she was genuinely interested in how Vader turned out the way he did and she thought that Rey was really cool in the Disney films.

reply

[–] 102000 (6349) 4 years ago

I liked Rogue One and I liked the character of Rey, just not the story lines.

[–] Stratego (31081) 4 years ago

Seriously though, if you're going to watch the original OT (the only ones that matter), I recommend Harmy's Despecialized Edition.
