Need a Crash Guide for a Star Wars newb for tonight

Hey,

My friends and my girlfriend are going to see EP III tonight and were all good on the details but my girlfriend (who I've been dating for 3 years) is not well versed in SW she saw EP II with me and parts of the OT but is always at a loss (the feeling of jumping in the deep end). I was wondering if there is a guide or someway I can quickly (in about 10 hours) fill her in on all the important points and concepts (spoiler free for EP III thought) so she can fully enjoy it. I really appreciate all your help. TIA

 

You've been dating for three years and haven't immersed her in SW lore yet? And you call yourself a fan... pshaw

Good luck with that... and enjoy the movie!!!

 

10 hours...Just watch the movies. Or at least TPM and AOTC. Then have her see ROTS and then wath the OT after.

 

I would be shes just finishing up her thesis and may not be able to plus the over load of SW may kill her lol

 

i agree to watching the first two with her.

as for it killing her... well, that is a risk you are going to have to take.

There you go in a nut shell

 

Oh thats pretty good actually my understamiating of her may have been a bit harsh a little larger one for just the Prequel Trilogy would really help. Thanks so much

 

Don't forget there is also ten years difference between TPM amd AOTC..........(otherwise the onetime queen falling in love with a little boy hit's the eewwww factor)




just realised the time....I probably missed the boat.

 

show her the movies ofcourse!




a hundred times....
