So to summarize... days have no beginning or end in the SW universe and clothing changes are totally optional unless you need to disguise yourself as something completely obvious (short Stormtrooper, Jabba's henchman, Queen's hand maiden) or if Lucas needs to license a new action figure of your character.

When do we start talking about nutrition in the SW universe? Off the top of my head there is some sort of meal/food in every movie (except maybe ROTS?) but we are far from 3 square meals here!

Couple of questions, first, i love star wars but dont in anyway consider myself a star wars expert or "nerd" and im wanting to buy a good version of all of the movies. Ive been wanting the blu rays for a while but im reading a lot of negative reviews of them because of extra/changed scenes and stuff, is it really a deal breaker for them?and if so should i find a cheap or free way to watch them before the new movie comes out?

And last, how should i go about watching all 6 with someone who has never seen them before , original 3 followed by the prequels? 1 - 6 right in order? Or some other order that makes for the most enjoyable first time watching

Wait for the new Blu Rays.

If a youngster 1 - 6. If an adult 4-6, 1-3.

Starting at the end and working backwards...anyone who tells you to watch episodes 1-3 first (chronologically) is a villain. Kicking them in the shins and run away. You watch in order of release dates and start with Episodes 4-6. If that person really enjoys the films, then move to Episodes 1-3.

As fas watching, try to find the unaltered DVD version. Enjoy it was it was meant to be enjoyed. If you absolutely love blu-ray...do what I do...and fast forward through those gawd awful new scenes.

Watch in this order IV, V, II, III, VI - miss episode 1 completely

End of Episode 5 Vader does the whole 'I'm your father' bit - then you see Anakin become Vader - and then watch him die in episode 6

Sometimes I think about how awful Ep 1 is...and then I remember how painful Ep 2 is. Ep 3 I can tolerate.

This thread is supposed to be about SW awesomeness not which prequel sucks the most. Besides we all know it's Ep2 that's the worst. ;)

It pains me to tell you this, but I'm not a Grievous fan. Darth Maul was so much cooler. Hell, so was Dooku.

The Darth Maul duel in Ep1 is quite redeeming.
