'bout friggin' *time,* I *know*

It's kind of difficult to admit this as a geek, and a lover of fantasy, but I've never seen Star Wars.

ANY of them.

The original one was on TV once upon a time, and my parents were watching it, and I walked in when it was about halfway through--"Thanks for TELLING me, geez!"--and I saw bits and pieces but all I really remember is the trash compacter and the zoomy flying fight and a couple of characters (which I probably wouldn't remember were they not so oft-referenced). I don't know how long ago it's been, but I was still living at home, so quite a while.

Enough is enough. I popped onto Demonoid (which has RETURNED OMG YAY), found the torrent, and as soon as I get home I'm getting those rolling. I figure it'll take about a week, maybe less. Hopefully by next weekend I'll be able to have a Star Wars marathon and finally get all those references:

Remind me to take the geek test again after I watch them. ^_^ And reread iharthdarth.

ETA: I'm watching them in episode order (the newer movies first), just because so few geeks have. I promise I'll finish the set no matter how craptacular the new ones may or may not be.

Yay! I'm excited for you! If you can sit through Episode II, it's all downhill from there ;) Are you downloading the redone old ones or the orginal ones?

The remastered ones, apparently.

Bonus points for icon appropriateness!

You know I have all six on my computer, but I haven't even bothered to watch them, hell, in fact I am going to do that right now, thanks for the idea. Or at least try, I probably won't make it through the first 30 minutes without falling asleep.

Hee. They're going much faster than I thought they would. Hopefully the person with the last 4.7% that I need comes online sometime overnight or tomorrow and they'll be done when I get home from work.
