I also have several original trilogy posters on my walls, and far too many toys, action figures, and miscellaneous memorabilia to count.

Some of my Star Wars-related opinions

 * I am what I call a video purist. That means I consider the movies, their novelizations, TCW, and the earlier Clone Wars cartoon canon, and consider everything else semi-canon or non-canon. This is because I dislike most of the EU, particularly the more recent stuff (but at least Karen Traviss has quit).
 * There is some EU that I do like, namely the Thrawn Trilogy, Shadows of the Empire, and anything Michael Reaves has written.
 * My ranking of the movies from best to, um, least-best:
 * Entire original trilogy (5/5)
 * ROTS (5/5)
 * TCW (4.5/5)
 * AOTC (4/5)
 * TPM (3.5/5)
 * I prefer the DVD editions of TESB and ROTJ, since I think they fit better with the prequels, and I alternate between preferring the DVD edition of ANH for its additional scenes and improved effects and the unaltered edition because Han shoots first. (In any case, I consider Greedo shooting non-canon, because even under suspension of disbelief it's obviously fake.)
 * I have a very low opinion of whiny Internet fanboys who overdramatically piss and moan about how the prequels are the worst movies ever and raped their unborn children, particularly Red Letter Moron.
 * My favorite character is Obi-Wan. My least favorite character in the movies is Jar Jar, who I don't hate but I think could have been handled much better. My least favorite EU character is any of Traviss's Mandalorians, including her version of Boba Fett. I also consider Fett in general to be the most overrated character.
 * My top five lightsaber fights:
 * Luke vs. Vader (TESB, also my favorite scene in any movie ever.)
 * Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs. Maul (TPM)
 * Luke vs. Vader (ROTJ)
 * Anakin vs. Obi-Wan (ROTS)
 * Yoda vs. Dooku (AOTC)
 * My favorite movie score is TESB.
