Am I getting old and boring?
Do you think that the prequels should have been much more mature (ie for older people) to target the same audience that enjoyed the OT?
Or was GL right (not financially talking) to target a younger crowd and to try to remind us that we once were children too... (and some on this board still are)

he didn't make the PT to satisfy fans of the OT. he wanted to start an entirely new legion of fans.

No, I'm just saying that SW's target audience was always for kids, it just happened to be popular with adults too.

Yup; my mom was 15 when ANH came out, I was 13 when TPM came out.
I know plenty of adults who saw ANH as a kid and still love the saga and like the PT.
Thanks, btw

Plz if you don not understand a thread do not post...
I know it wasn't... we were kids!!! I thought you did get my question but you didn't...
Might change my language... Kids then... Adults now... Do you think SW should have matched this... (btw ROTS was a major improvement on that aspect)

oh..thank you for putting it in lamen terms for me.
why the hell would GL make a movie for late-30's, early 40's people?
he made the movie the way he wanted. that's it. both are aimed at a younger audience. there. do i understand enough to post in this thread?

My point was... to make a movie that would remaind us that we once were children and that would bring back those marvelous memories but in the same time have a more mature story and feel to the movie...
