I am going to see this movie tonight with my BF. If I have only seen bits and pieces of Episode 1 and none of Episode 2, will I be super confused? He really wants to go and the tickets have already been bought. It looks like a good movie, but I am just not excited about it since I don't know the storylines of Episodes 1 and 2.
When I went to the premiere that was my first time seeing Star Wars, I had never seen the 1st and 2nd one. When I was little of course I saw the original ones. But as said I had no clue who was who, or what was going. My friend gave me a 5 minute-quick introduction to the characters. For example who is Anniken, who are the Jedi, etc. So during the whole movie I wasn't confused. But I think you will soon forget to worry about that, b/c the effects in the movie is so cool.
Well, I did see it last night and I really liked it! Maybe I will watch the Episodes 1 and 2...maybe. I really wasn't confused though because I have seen the original three and my BF gave me a quick lowdown on the other characters.
