Yeah man. My dad was obsessed with Star Wars. We owned the original trilogy on VHS.So I was 13 when Phantom Menace was released in 1999. I collected all the Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One, Mountain Dew cans.
My Dad said I missed out when the original trilogy was in theaters, but this could be our experience. To see them all together in theaters. Just like when he was a teenager.
We watched this trailer and he was so excited. Me too.
Then we saw the movie. It sucked. He hated it so much. I thought it was fun (being 13, I didn't know). I just remember him fussing and trashing it. We never saw the other two in theaters. He refused to go. We had planned on seeing Phantom a few times and then seeing the other two together, like a tradition we shared, a father passing the torch to me. It didn't work out that way.
So when Episode VII came out, he asked me to seen it with him and my 5 year old son. I told him no. And I hate Star Wars to this day.
