My own old Star Wars fan vs. new Star Wars fan happened during Attack of the Clones. My good buddy Douglas Saddlewood and I went a second time in the afternoon. Jar Jar showed up, and we both groan audibly. Then, from the 5 yeard old kid sitting behind us, a cry of sheer of delight: “It’s JAR JAR!!!”

God I hate that thing. Anyways:

Cory Doctorow:
Some questions raised by a seven-year-old who’d only seen the Star Wars prequels, on seeing the original trilogy for the first time:

- “Wow! Is the Death Star done already? I guess that’s how you know that a long time has passed.”

- “Look… Obi-Wan is pretending he doesn’t know R2-D2.” (see Hole/No-hole: Why doesn’t Obi-Wan remember R2? )…

- “Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?” (with great concern)…

- “So, does this mean that R2-D2 is really the main character in Star Wars?”
