12. Nope...
My husband and I have pretty much stopped going out to the movies. But I'm trying to convince him that this one needs to be seen on the BIG SCREEN! We've seen all the others...And eventually, we will get the DVD.

:loveya:

13. This one HAS to be seen on the big screen.
Just for the scope of the space battles and things. I have seen it three times now.

15. Wow, tex,
You are a BIG fan! But I agree; this one needs to be seen on the big screen. I've seen enough of the battle scenes to realize that. I just hope I can convince my husband. We will most likely wait til the worst of the crowds are gone.

19. Me and my girlfriend were talking about the same thing
Both of us love films I mean there was a time that we would watch a movie a week or sometimes go out of one film and directly into another. But now movies and snacks are so damn expensive we are lucky if we watch one movie a month and that is usually because its something like "Revenge of the Sith" that we should see on the big screen or something we just can't wait for on DVD and know will be good.

16. I haven't either, and probably won't.
And do not feel it diminishes my life in any way.

But then again, I've never seen any of those TV shows people talk about so much, like Survivor and American Idol, either, so you can't judge by me.

20. I saw it last weekend...
It's better than episodes 1 & 2 (but then, ANYTHING was better than episodes 1 & 2).

I disagree that it needs to be seen on a big-screen. You can wait for the DVD. The story is what's important in this movie, not the effects.

23. I wouldn't bother with it even though I am a film reviewer --
I sent my husband -- I'm just not interested in that genre. Of course, in 1977, we waited in line at the Cheri Theater in Boston to see the original.

However, I suffered through the first two parts of the prequel trilogy and just didn't have the time to bother about this third event.

28. Well, I'm not in America, but I haven't seen it
Not a big Star Wars fan to be truthful, so I doubt I will see it any time soon.

30. Me too
I haven't seen any of them. (Except I saw Episode 1 in Brazil, dubbed in Portuguese, so I had no idea what was going on. But even in an unfamiliar language, JarJar Binks is irritating.)

38. I have never seen ANY Star Wars film to completion.
tried to watch the first one a few times but it seemed like a kids show to me. the subject matter never interested me.

39. Haven't seen it
My 9 year old really wants to go, but I think it's too scarey for my 4 year old.

It really pisses me off that these things are marketed to kids, but the actual movie really isn't kid appropriate. :eyes:

42. I haven't seen it on the big screen yet.
So (in case any MPAA nazis are lurking) I guess I haven't seen it.

whose boyfriend refuses to see it. Don't know what I'll do. I don't get to spend much time with her.
