This is really funny, it's people posting about all the misconceptions they had about Star Wars as a kid. If you were like me and watched these movies all the time as a kid you will probably get a kick out of some of these:

That's the thread, I pulled out some of the ones I liked:
I remember I used to think that Vader wanted the Millenium falcon because it was faster than his ships and he was jealous.
Also, I thought that Obi-Wan disappearing was a censorship thing because they weren't allowed to show him getting chopped in half!
i didn't understand about the ep IV thing either, and when i asked my parents they told me that George Lucas must have been on drugs or something because a lot of people did drugs during the time they were made, so for a long time i thought he just numbered them wrong because he was on drugs and forgot how to count, and i thought it was very sad.
Whenever I watched Empire as a kid I used to think that when Luke falls down the shaft on Bespin, that he falls to Earth and hangs from a telephone pole. Yep.
I remember thinking that Princess Leia selfishly doomed Alderaan by looking out the window at the planet and confirming the location of the rebels in a German accent.
"Dat one, they're on dat one."
I always used to think that when Ben's sabre blade dissapeared in A New Hope his battery had run out.
also me and my chilhood friends came to the horrifiying conclusion that obi wan was alive and had escaped in the nude. jst a naked old man running through the death star
I thought the first Death Star run was a game, sort of like the Olympics. Some kind of contest. It was because of the medals at the end, with the award ceremony!
The only others I can think of are more misconceptions about how films were made. I used to think the pilots in the space battles really died. I knew they were actors, but I figured they were just really devoted to their craft.
