rynneOkay, so I spent today watching the whole original Star Wars trilogy...why the hell did I not see it before now? I concede that pretty much everyone in the universe is right; it is brilliant. I'm going to have to buy the DVDs sometime. (*sticks out tongue at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thistlerose*--have I redeemed myself since I first announced I'd never seen it? *g*)
(Curse it, that's another thing my ex-boyfriend was right about! He was the one who first introduced me to Terry Pratchett and Discworld--though he would have had more success in converting me if he hadn't tried the Rincewind books--even if I did only start loving them years later. And he was the one who showed me Episode IV, which was the only one of the original trilogy that I'd seen, even if I didn't remember much of it, because he's a total Star Wars nut. Ah well. If he comes to my grad party, I'm going to have to tell him he was right.)
Now I must read the books. How many of them are there, and in what order do they go in? Is there some sort of website I can look up? I must know mooooore. ;)
ETA: Oh, just remembered. In Ep. IV, when Biggs and Wedge were first introduced, I was like "OMG BIGGS AND WEDGE SO THAT'S WHERE THEY COME FROM!" For those who don't know, Biggs and Wedge are recurring characters in the Final Fantasy series, but since SW came out before the first FF, I guess Square just took the names...

Date: 2005-05-24 11:23 pm (UTC)The problem is, a even if you are like me, and refuse to read most of the books, you tend to pick up plot details through fanfic. So I could tell you a basic plot arc post RotJ, without having read any of the books.
(Note - said plot arcs are probably the main reason I don't read them, because I have some serious disagreements with what they have happen to the characters, as well as all the prequel inconsistancies. I decided, if I'm going to read what is basically fanfic, I'd find something i liked. So I did - yay for the internet!)
