When I was 11 I had a brief period of trying to get into comics but I couldn't hack the six month wait between issues. They take five minutes to read and then you're left hanging.
If it wasn't for the tv series you'd have that issue with the films. They're very addictive and there's really nothing else that can scratch that itch.
I tried to watch Revenge of the Sith and it definitely didn't work. It was like trying to smoke a Benson when you're clucking for a spliff. Just made matters worse.
