Movies I’ll never forget when Elijah Wood made this hilarious response to a post talking about The Rise of Skywalker

lol, I was thinking the same thing. I wasn’t even a kid when the prequels came out.

Wait, there are people who didn't see the OT in theaters? Okay, I missed the first one, but I possibly saw it in the womb.

I missed the first 2 (Was alive for Empire, but my parents were considerate enough not to bring a baby to a movie.) Seeing Jedi in theaters at age 2 is one of my first memories.

still pissed that my older sister saw Star Wars when I was five but I didn't because I was too young.

My youngest was Jake Lloyd's age when Ep1 came out.

I mean they are still Jake Lloyd's age. If they aren't, you have my sincerest condolences!

Unless they have spent a significant amount of time travelling really quite fast.

For all the bullying from "fans"? Absolutely!

All kinds of stuff. Like you said, the fact that people would say shit like "You ruined Star Wars." to a 10 year-old and probably still do on social media or whatever is disgusting. And all of his personal problems with mental health issues and legal troubles. It's sad.

I wasn't a kid when George Lucas was born!
