The only Star Wars movie you need to watch is the Holiday Special. It introduces you to all the important Star Wars lore, like how much Chewbacca's dad likes to jack it.

Nah, the Ewok movies are the only real Star War

The most important thing to remember about which Star Wars movies is that you can find HD remasters of 4, 5, and 6 without all the lizard-rear end and poo poo by searching for Harmy's Despecialized edition out there on the interwebz. Friends don't let friends watch the 'Special' Edition.

You're no up-to-date on your recommendation.

4k77 (Episode IV), 4k83 (Episode VI) and, sometime in the future, 4k80 (Episode V) are where it's at: Those are scans of the original movie reels, not compositions like the Despecialized version. They are of way better quality.

4K h.265, 1080p h.264 and versions with and without Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) are available. Get them!

I like the Star Wars where Ben Sisko's father runs a creole restaurant on earth.

Same dude who plays Sisko’s dad also voiced Darth Vader in the old Star Wars radio play. He’s no James Earl Jones but I kind of like his take on the character.

Didn't know that. Now I'm imagining Darth Vader being all excited about some Jambalaya.

The droid army in 1 was described as "battle hardened". They were veterans. What kind of
war could those pieces of poo poo survive?

It's just advertisement. Just like when a lovely restaurant describes their greasy abominations as "best burgers in town!"

To have a Star Wars, first you must create the universe

Don't think that's true, pretty sure the movie came first, attempts at creating a huge franchise out of whatever was shown later.

nope. lucas created the universe first, tho it was hard to recognize and even weirder

then he made the movie

then he regeared all movies after that to be focused on merchandising because thats where his true genius lay. He pioneered making toys out of EVERYTHING

Is this actually true? At least Wikipedia makes it seem like what he did is write the script for the first movie based on a short two-page synopsis after not getting the rights to Flash Gordon. Not that he had a whole thought out universe.
