Om jag inte har sett någon av de tidigare Star Wars-filmerna, skulle det vara möjligt att titta på Kraftvakten och förstå det fullt ut? Ger det tillräckligt med bakgrund för att jag ska veta vad som händer?
Du skulle få mer njutning än att titta på Star Wars om du tittar på TFA efter att ha tittat på de andra filmerna, även om du kan titta på det själv. Av följande skäl.
Det finns ett mycket noggrant svar på samma fråga på Quora , som jag har mer eller mindre kopierat här:
First of all, if you're about to dive into one of the biggest global pop culture phenomenons anyway, then to really get the full experience you need to witness the previous six films. At the point you've decided to see the new film, in a general sense you need to do so in the most informed way and in the context of the overall phenomenon.
Second, there will be lots of relationship details, inside jokes, dialogue call-backs, Easter Eggs, and references that you will not understand if you don't watch the first six movies. Yes, someone can just explain it all to you in a quick, simple way, but there's no way they'll get all of the details and dialogue etc into their explanation. Any detailed explanation or written backstory that is sufficient to prepare you for seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens will take so much time to read and remember that you may as well spend the time and energy to actually experience the six movies.
Third, the experience you have when watching the new upcoming sequel will be dramatically enhanced by having seen the previous films. From a purely artistic sense, these are amazing films and each one of them is made better by the larger context of the other films. So from an entertainment perspective, you need to treat yourself to the other movies before treating yourself to the newest one.
Fourth, the odds are that after you see The Force Awakens, you'll want to see the other films anyway. But seeing them afterwards will create a weird disconnect in the storytelling. If you start watching the earlier films afterwards, then you might enjoy them less or have your enjoyment of the new sequel reduced after the fact as your confusions and different experiences with the earlier films add on to the original experience with the new film.
Fifth, since you're probably going to end up watching the earlier movies if you watch The Force Awakens, the difference in visual effects will distract you. The fact is that the new movie will have visual effects conforming to today's standards. So if you witness that, and then afterwards try to go back to the earlier films, you are likely going to be more inclined to notice a lot of the limitations of visual effects in the earlier movies.
Now, technically do you really HAVE to see the first six films in order to even be able to sit through and enjoy the new movie? Probably not. You can probably watch the new film and keep up with it well enough, assuming you've at least heard the very basics of what Star Wars is. The mythology and details might be confusing to you at times, but most likely it'll either end up being explained by whatever is happening, or it will pass by and you'll forget and not care because the story keeps moving forward and you can mostly keep up.
But that's no way to experience a movie -- "mostly keeping up" and "mostly getting over any confusion." And it's especially no way to experience a Star Wars movie.
Jag hittade också en rapport från någon dålig själ som gick för att se Force Awakens utan att ha sett någon av de tidigare Star Wars-filmerna och skrev ner några av hennes reaktioner. Men människor tycks tro att hon ljuger om hennes reaktioner eller om hennes SW-kunskap, så jag tog bort citaten från hennes reaktioner från mitt svar.
Det finns många rapporter om att människor tittar på Kraftvaktarna utan att ha sett några av de tidigare filmerna och fortfarande njuter av filmen. Det finns också rapporter om personer som inte åtnjuter någon av de övriga 6 filmerna och ser även den här filmen och njuter av det.
Filmen är strukturerad så att teckenhistorien och deras relationer avslöjas på ett sådant sätt att den ger tillräcklig bakgrund för den befintliga filmen.
Men om du har sett de andra filmerna är det mer troligt att du märker påskägg, referenser och återkastningar till tidigare filmer. Att inte märka det borde inte påverka din njutning av filmen. (Jag tror inte på rekordförstörande öppningsboxkontor kan intäkter endast hänföras till befintliga Star Wars fans.)
Här är vad regissören JJ Abrams sa om detta på en Wired intervju :
How much of The Force Awakens is geared toward welcoming people back to the Star Wars franchise versus starting something completely new? How do you strike a balance between those two imperatives?
We wanted to tell a story that had its own self-contained beginning, middle, and end but at the same time, like A New Hope, implied a history that preceded it and also hinted at a future to follow. When Star Wars first came out, it was a film that both allowed the audience to understand a new story but also to infer all sorts of exciting things that might be. In that first movie, Luke wasn’t necessarily the son of Vader, he wasn’t necessarily the brother of Leia, but it was all possible. The Force Awakens has this incredible advantage, not just of a passionate fan base but also of a backstory that is familiar to a lot of people. We’ve been able to use what came before in a very organic way, because we didn’t have to reboot anything. We didn’t have to come up with a backstory that would make sense; it’s all there. But these new characters, which Force is very much about, find themselves in new situations—so even if you don’t know anything about Star Wars, you’re right there with them. If you are a fan of Star Wars, what they experience will have added meaning.
Såsom du kan se var det också utformat för att vara självständigt, så att en ny publik, och även en ny generation, kunde se filmen och introduceras till Star Wars universum.
