British woman who has never seen Star Wars live tweets watching the movies

for the first time. Some of this stuff is pretty funny - her calling Darth Vader "Space Voldemort" or complaining about Luke being whiny or the ewoks being vicious meat eaters.

judging by her reference to being back in 5 minutes to get another glass of wine and putting the DVD in.

I remember some years ago on a movie review fan site one of the regulars posting about never having seen The Lord of the Rings movies (or read the books). So what did she do? Got The Two Towers (the second of the three movies), and complained about how the plot was incomprehensible, the accents were impenetrable, and nothing made any sense.

There were not enough face-palms - even in a galaxy far, far away - to register a sufficient response.
