    RN> IV, V, and VI are my favorites because they had some substance to them.   
      
    JA> Wehn people ask me my favorite, it will ALWAYS be IV! It was the   
    JA> first, and I was 10 years old at the time, and if there had never   
    JA> been another Star Wars movie that would have stook on its own for   
    JA> all time. :-)    
      
   I bet you enjoy it even more now that you're older.   
      
    RN>  I liked little Jake Lloyd in I, espscially during the pod race and not   
    RN> just for that, but II and III had a miscast Anakin character replacing   
    RN> him.  I could almost refer to his replacement as the 2nd Jar Jar Binks   
    RN> without the humor, for all the interest I had in him.   
      
    JA> I respect your opinion, and I've heard it said over and over that   
    JA> Hayden was a bad cast, but I just heard something the other day...    
      
    JA> You know Star Wars Celebration was just this past weekend in   
    JA> Orlando? Turns out when they announced Hayden would be there his   
    JA> autograph table/line/tickets/whatever sold out faster than anyone's   
    JA> ever had before! Like him or not, he WAS Anikan in the movies. :-)   
      
   Maybe fans just wanted his autograph, but who knows?   
      
    JA> I loved the prequels, but I know the vocal minority hated them and   
    JA> say they are the worst things ever. It's okay for people to   
    JA> disagree. :-)   
      
   Yes, it is, but for some, there exists only THEIR viewpoint.   
       
    RN> My two sons came over to the house and "dad-napped" me on my birthday   
    RN> just to see that movie.  The line to get in was long, but the next   
    RN> weekend I took my wife and daughter to see it.  I'm speaking of IV, of   
    RN> course.  The only way to get my wife to go was to tell her there was a   
    RN> band in it.  You should have seen her face.   
      
    JA> LOL - well, it wasn't a lie. :-)   
      
   See below, but you are right.  The look on her face was priceless.   
      
   I mean, who would have thought there would be an alien jazz band in another   
   galaxy?   
      
   I hate lying, but sometimes you have to in order to spare someone else's   
   feelings.  The result is that everybody lies for one reason or another.  I try   
   very hard not to.
