"Star Wars" Retold by Someone Who Hasn't Seen it Sounds About Right to Us

Posted by Emily Farris

 

As we have admitted here more than once, we have never seen "Star Wars." We don't know why, really. Maybe our parents did a terrible job of raising us? Whatever the reason, we probably now hold the blame ourselves for doing absolutely nothing about it. But it's sort of become this thing, like a party trick: "I've never seen 'Star Wars!'" Maybe it's our Cinderella shoe; perhaps we're fated to marry the man who finally sits us down and makes us watch it. Until then we're perfectly content to watch "'Star Wars' Retold by Someone Who Hasn't Seen It," a video made by some guy after his friend Amanda told him she'd never seen the Triology but could tell him what happens.

We're glad to know that we're not the only ones who think Han is named Hans.

I haven't watched any of em either, and my guy friends freak out and say "We're renting it tonight!" when they find out but I sort of like not having seen it at this point.  It's too much fun to make them act it out with the little "peow peow" gun noises they make.
