Originally Posted By HokieSkipper Meh. I don't find any of the movies to be that painfully cheesy. Save for Phantom Menace and ROTJ, but there's a reason why they're by far my least favorites.

Other than that the SW geek in me took over and I loved it all..can't wait to ride.. just read Doobie's review and sounds good to me

Originally Posted By MPierce If you're a Star Wars Fan you have to love every minute of it. Star Wars is cheesy in a way reminiscent of the 50's scifi, and space serials at the movies. A big reason why it is still popular today. It never took itself seriously. It was meant to be a rousing, and fun adventure.
