The marathon

So my kids decided last week they were going to watch all nine of the main Star Wars movies. They hadn't seen them all, and they were going to lose the opportunity once tax season ended.

The Phantom Menace: "The real menace was the writing team"

Attack of the Clones: "If the bounty hunter works for Dooku, and the clones are from the bounty hunter, then who's army is it?"

Revenge of the Sith: "They didn't put that scene in the game" (When a freshly minted Darth Vader met younglings)

A New Hope: "This smells like 70's"

The Empire Strikes Back: "Couldn't Obiwan's ghost tell them where to find Luke?"

Return of the Jedi: "How are the teddy bears winning?"

The Force Awakens: "Why is she good at everything right away?"

The Last Jedi: "So during the slow speed chase where they're running out of gas, they ran away to Vegas and got arrested for illegal parking?"

The Rise of Skywalker: "Half the movie takes place during the opening crawl. The other half is placeholder text that's basically [INSERT SCRIPT HERE]"
