Reactions of one who's never seen Star Wars

[Chessrook44]

Pretty descriptive title. A woman who had never seen Star Wars on Christmas decided to watch the entire original trilogy and livetweet her reactions to it as she watched them.

The reactions are utter hilarity.

Finnil, calm the fuck down and lay off the caps lock.

Pretty funny though. She's not the first one to have done something like this. Here experience seems pretty typical for someone with no previous Star Wars experience, trying to get into them in the 2010s.

Maybe she should watch the prequels next. She would like the ending better.

I did something like this a few years ago with The Passion of the Christ. I think I compared Satan with Where's Waldo, and noticed they left the ending open for a sequel.

Two people shooting each other at exactly the same time

That one cracked me up. I don't know if anything can top it but it's been a pretty fun read so far.

Okay, so I'm going over her New Hope Tweets, and this one made me burst out laughing.

"I have no need for a protocol droid" = my new put down for randos in bars.

Hmm, too may lore references made the cynic in me think she's faking it, interesting none-the-less I guess

 

[Eddie the head]

Ehh I thought this was funnier.


Han "one shot" Solo.

"They just had a lil smooch and my hubs made an incest joke? What is he talking about guys "
These tweets are priceless. Obvious t-shirt material right here

At first I thought it was funny but then I realized it hits on pretty much every star wars meme and plot discussion ever made and realized it's probably fake.

Love reactions like these! Always curious to see what a blank slate would see the movies as.

I think NerdCubed's best friend did this last week, but he did the same thing, memes and stuff. Heavily critical though.

It has some funny moments, but damn she's so very... Tumblr about it. I mean, the typical sass, sarcasm and references. Shit grinds my gears to no end. Next to that, Star Wars is so ubiquitous, I doubt statements like "Oh Luke seeing Leia, this meet-cute will go well!" are legit.

I mean, yes, Space Voldemort. Ha ha. You know who Darth Vader is, you can stop being 'quirky' now.

But my cousin had a similar experience a few days ago, and live-blogged it over WhatsApp to me albeit not so extensively. Her calling Han Solo an 'adorable dork' was so precious. Yes, the childhood hero of an entire generation of geeks, a massive dork. Genius.

Ehh I thought this was funnier.


Han "one shot" Solo.

God yes that's so much funnier, way more genuine. Leia, princess of the Death Star. Imagine.
