[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7304784, member: 6785785"] Would a ten year old feel such a strong need to compare this film to other films? Wouldn’t a ten year old just say that both movies were awesome? Maybe they’d say they liked one or the other more, but I don’t think they’d start to examine it to the extent that you’ve indicated. My 3 year old has seen all the original movies and the Force Awakens. She’s seen some of the prequel trilogy, but for some reason they don’t engage her as much. Each of them has at least one stretch that is really boring for a kid that age. So she checks out of those. But she knows the other films, and understands all the relationships and importance of who’s who and all that. She gets sad everytine Yoda fades away and when Kylo Ren kills Han Solo. She really hates him because of that, but she still thought that maybe Rey could make Kylo good again (as she says it). She picked up on the subtext that was in The Force Awakens. I know The Last Jedi is going to make her sad for multiple reasons...because Kylo almost switches sides, and because Luke fades away. So yeah, I think that plenty of new fans care about the older characters and movies. They just don’t have them on a pedestal the way many of us older fans do. To a kid, The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi is every bit a Star Wars movie as Empire Strikes Back or Phantom Menace or any of them. And why wouldn’t they be? And that’s pretty much my point. Our own reverance for the original films can be a detriment to simply enjoying a fantasy story. Kids don’t bring that with them into these movies. [/QUOTE]
