i personaly think it would be better to watch them in order of the story... but that is me.

I think you should watch the old ones with somewhat decent acting first, and then rent the new three and scrub the DVDs with a brillo pad before returning them (unwatched), so that no one else has to suffer through that horrendous excuse for 30 seconds of special effects.

I think that's wrong, in the Dark Forces PC game (Star Wars FPS circa 1995), you steal the plans from an Imperial base and give them to Leia. Of course, my memory no longer makes .5 past lightspeed, so I could be wrong.

R2 is not the master spy, He's just plays the part of the Straight guy to C3PO's comedy.

also, R2D2 is the longest lasting character in the star wars story... he comes in before anikin/vader and dosent die in the end...

You are correct, and Dark Forces was awesome (for its time). It was the very first mission in the game.

Ummm....it's not real. Fictional people and places. Seeing it analysed like this is kinda frightening!

I'm not a big Star Wars fanatic but I think analyzing stuff like this is cool. Think of all the fiction you had to analyze in high school.
