it's simple, really.  i didn't enjoy the first ones.  just not my kind of 
movies.  i can appreciate the ground they broke and the new "technology" and 
all that, but ii didn't want to see them over and over.  how many of you saw 
_toy story_?  the first full-length computer animated movie, right?  okay, so 
they broke into some new territory, too.  but if 20 years from now they want 
to make a sequal to it, are you gonna stand in line for days to get tickets?  
it's the same thing.  there were toy story action figures and there was a lot 
of hype over that movie.  it's just that more people liked star wars then and 
so more people are excited about it now.  i, on the other hand, am not.
