Okay, 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

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...
