I'm reading this on-going Korean Manhwa "Dear Boy". If you like stories about revenge/payback then you should check this one out.

I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who's not caught up in any of the Star Wars hype at all.
I haven't bought anything Star Wars related recently, I haven't been going back and watching the movies, I haven't been playing any of the old games. I'm supposed to be going to see the new movie on the 22nd, but only because someone's boss set up a private screening and I got invited. If not for that, I probably wouldn't even go to see it with my own money at all. I'd probably just catch it on HBO several months down the line.
Ah well.
Shrug.

Don't worry, i only first watched the movies for the first time like a couple of weeks ago and except for Revenge of the Sith, i didn't really feel like any of the films were all that great and i also not really into the hype either. But then again, this is the year Shenmue III got announced so everything pales in comparison.

That's sad. How old are you? Not trying to knock you but obviously you're not anywhere over like 25 are you?
Seems like theirs this whole generation out there who's just not on the same wave length.

We're now the old generation that mocks the new generation for not appreciating the cool stuff from "back in our day".

We are now aren't we.. and I guess Shenmue is just one of those games that bridges some age groups into being on this forum. We have the OG Shenmue 1 group who played Dreamcast and then the bargain bin Shenmue 2 group who's first ever console was probably the Xbox or even 360.
Ya..we got old. ・_・

People who missed out on Star Wars but grew up with movies that followed its lead are likely to have that reaction. Just as gamers who missed out on Shenmue and are now conditioned by the genre that it inspired.

What isn't always apparent to them is that while Star Wars/Shenmue taught their successors everything that their successors know, they didn't necessarily teach them everything that Star Wars/Shenmue know. Fans of the originals can easily identify where the source material has been often imitated but never duplicated, but new audiences don't care to look that closely.

*leaves for a few days since everyone is talking about nothing but star wars, but then visits the Dojo again and sees everyone is still talking about nothing but star wars*

Well I'm actually 24 ...

and yeah i didn't grew with star wars but I'm not saying the other movies suck, it's just for me they were kinda boring compared to revenge of the sith... I'm not nostalgic for revenge of the sith either, i just saw these films back to back like a month ago.

I don't think age is really a factor. I'm only 20 and everyone I knew growing up loved Star Wars. I was lucky enough, even at an early age, to have friends who also knew that the prequels sucked.
