Confession

rynneI've got a confession to make, one that I'm sure many of you will be outraged at. Many of my friends were when I first told them.
...I've never seen Star Wars.
Well. I've seen Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, but I'm always told that those don't compare to the original trilogy.
Only see, I've watched the first of the original trilogy, as short as two years ago, and remember nothing about it save that there is Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, the Wookie, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader. I think I started watching the second (which is called...what?), but I fell asleep when Luke was in this swamp, I think.
I know that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, and that he cuts off Luke's hand. (I think?)
So. Er. Um.
What am I missing?
*knows next to nothing about Star Wars*
Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment that takes me away from a test on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, which I have been too lazy to read. I am not minding missing the test, but oi, I hate dentist appointments.

casirafics says that Trickster's Queen is out. I NEED MONEY TO GO BUY IT.
*searches couch for quarters and finds lint*
I will answer comments tomorrow. Er, right. And then hopefully my dad will find out what's wrong with my network adaptor card, so I can have my own computer back again. Then I can write and finish the hobbit-drabbles.
...Good night.

They're just such a part of our culture (they really are) that I can never fathom people other than my grandmother not having seen them. And, I loved them, and was massively obsessed from the ages of 8 to about whenever I discovered boys may not have had nonstop cooties (looking back, this was my first fandomy thing; had I known to, I would have written really bad selfinserts. Oi.). So yeah. I'd say they're worth seeing.
Besides, they're chock full of archetypes. We actually watched clips in english when we went over Jung and such.
