Oh, Kieran, you're a good writer and I enjoy reading your work, but introducing someone to Star Wars via the prequels? In the name of heaven man, why? It ruins the surprise of who Yoda is, who Darth Vader is... Heck, you don't even get a proper explanation of what the Force (it's in the original film, obviously).
The only correct way to introduce someone to Star Wars is via the original trilogy. I'm astonished that you inflicted the inferior prequels on your poor girlfriend in this way. She is your significant other, not some laboratory rat for your twisted experiment. I feel like apologising to her on your behalf. As for you, I feel like the proverbial schoolteacher who isn't angry, just very disappointed...
(But I'll grant this article had some amusing sections.)
