What To Know About The Original ‘Star Wars' Movies

by Emily Lackey

If you’re dying to see the Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens on Friday — like, I'm saying if it’s all you have been able to think about for the last few weeks and if you’ve devolved into mixed syntax like Yoda — there probably isn’t anything else you want to do over the next few days besides count the minutes until the film is released and get your hands on anything and everything about the new movie that you can. But, if you’ve found yourself in a position where there's not much time left to marathon the previous films, and you need a little refresher on what happened in the Star Wars movies, may I offer another Star Wars-related treat to keep you occupied until The Force Awakens is released? Take a look at this video, which takes apart everything you need to know about the original Star Wars movies leading up to Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens, and tells you everything you need to know about all the things that happened before Episode VII. Things discussed include: What happened in previous films, the love triangle between Leia, Luke, and Han, and even some of the series’ best scenes.

Honestly, even if you're the most avid fan and you don’t need the refresher, you’re going to want to watch this. I mean, what else are you going to do between now and midnight on Dec. 17/all day on Dec. 18? Trust me, watching this video is a great addition to your already-existing plans of watching The Force Awakens' trailer another two thousand times.
