Ever wonder what it would be like to experience Star Wars for the first time in the post-Prequel World?

Entertainment Weekly went out and found a reader who had never seen any of the Star Wars movies, comics, cartoons, or owned a single action figure. They then tried a little experiment and had him watch the entire saga from Episode 1 to Episode 6 on Cinemax's new HD run. It is interesting to see that (1) he can really laugh at the changes in George Lucas, but (2) he was still captured by the magic of the world.

It was only a couple of minutes before my first Jar Jar Binks sighting, and I found myself wondering: Why does he sound like a Jamaican Elmo? However, those are questions for another time. I found I was often confused in this movie. Terms like Sith, Jedi, and The Force were new to me and they came with little explanation. Obviously, most people watching this movie would have seen the other movies and know what is going on, but this first-timer did not. I was obviously dealing with a more experienced partner.

It makes me again wonder what the Prequels would have looked like if George had written those scripts back in the 70s and 80s.
