    I remember seeing Star Wars for the first time in '78 or something (we lived in Malaysia at the time and I believe it took some time to get there). I was dead center in the marketing targetting. And for a while I was dying to know about the Clone Wars and what Luke’s father was doing there.

    God, Ep 1 was such a let-down.

    I believe there are 2 kinds of nerds - those that accept that there will just be mentions of the lore and it’s basically flavor, and those that just need to know and explore the lore down to the last minutae. Let me tell you, the image I had of the Clone Wars as an 8 year old was way fucking cooler than what appeared in Ep 2. And Vader?? Please let me keep my personal backstory.
