Yes, I will go see the new Star Wars movie. But...

In preparation I tried to watch the first one. The one that was just entitled Star Wars. I remember seeing it in Madison on a snowy winter evening with a bunch of my friends and being blown away. But today, in 2015, it's unwatchable. Terrible movie! I can't enumerate the ways it's so awful.

It's like a bad Star Trek episode. And there weren't any bad Star Trek episodes. I can't imagine what we thought was so great about this movie.

So I go into the new Star Wars movie with low expectations. I expect a childish movie, with weak stupid characters. I expect a movie that congratulates itself from the first scene at merely existing. 

So why post this? First, I want to get this on the record before seeing the new movie. And I want to ask any of my readers if any of the subsequent movies are worth watching? I went to the second and probably the third movies, but my memory is very dim. I know I stopped going after a while because I thought they were foolish movies. If you had to pick one of the previous movies as the best of the lot, which would you pick?
