if your so fucking ignorant and close minded that you cant even accept the possibilty that someone else might find merit in something you dont like
Rubbish. I fully accept that - it's often the case.

or if you just assume theyre just pretending to like the prequels
No, I believe you honestly like the prequels.
QUOTE
or that theyre just imagining theyre good or whatever (as youve accused me of)
Third strike lucky. Yes, this is what I believe. These movies are not good. They are total shit. But you think they
are good. This is where imagination comes in.
I know all about this, mate. I watched Episode II twice because I so desperately wanted it to be good, I thought that the first time, I was only
imagining it was so bad. But try as I did, I couldn't hide from the fact that I was watching awful shit.

if star wars has changed, and if that change has meant it has lost fans like you, how have those changes been for the worse exactly?
Fans like me were the ones who got Star Wars where it was today. We're the guys who watched each of the original movies over a thousand times, bought the Kenner toys, jumped at the chance to read to novels that took it further.
We like Star Wars for what it was in its original true form.
What the prequels are is a perversion of Star Wars. Testimony to this is that fact that Lucas is making enormous changes to the original movies to make them tie in with what he's making now.
If you get a glass of water and pour in some baking poda and laundry detergent, it's not the same thing anymore. So it is with Star Wars.
And people like yourself are happy and celebrating this perversion.
The original movies that millions and millions of people cherished are disappearing into oblivion, limited to the lifespan of the various video cassettes - which is limited.
And all so George Lucas can make his NEW Star Wars. And people like you, who pay him the big bucks for the Prequel DVDs and no doubt the upcoming scewed-over editions, are one of the major contributing factors to this problem.

i`ll give you this though (and only this) i didnt think it would take this long for you to drag it down to shit like that you just posted.
Well, I'm a fairly tolerant person.
Now, get out of here, Jariten. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
