I had one of those rare experiences that all SW fanatics love. I introduced someone to Star Wars. In this case, it was my girlfriend. We watched A New Hope and this was the first time she had seen any Star Wars movie. I am paraphrasing but her verdict was that it was good, not great. shrug* What are ya going to do? LOL.
My favorite parts:
* seeing her reaction when Luke fired up the lightsaber for the first time
* her reaction when Ben Kenobi revealed that he was Obi-Wan
* seeing her reaction when Obi-Wan disappeared (she thought he just became invisible, which is sort of true)
* her asking if Vader would ever take the mask off (she figured correctly from his heavy breathing that he needed it for survival because)
* "How did he make him think that?" in reference to Obi-Wan's jedi mind tricks
* "He's a hero!" when Luke swung across the chasm in the Death Star with Leia in tow
* "He's been in love with her from the beginning" referencing Luke and Leia (I can't wait until she finds out they're brother and sister)
* Obi-Wan speaking to Luke while in ghost form wasn't anything spiritual or metaphysical, she thought he simply made himself invisible (she actually thought Obi-Wan was in the X-Wing with Luke during the Death Star run, only invisible. )
* She couldn't quite understand what Vader was doing when he force choked Admiral Motti.
Her favorite character was C3PO because of the 'way he talks'. We'll finish the OT and if she's still not super excited, we'll end it at that. No PT. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if she likes the PT better. *sigh*
After the OT, we'll move onto LOTR (which she also hasn't seen)
