I enjoy bothe the OT and the OT. And I have come to notice that everyone here will think way to hard about these movies, then write detailed descriptions on why these movies suck for things like to much flipping in a lightsaber battle.

I think you guys are just jealous of me because I can enjoy these movies and you can't.

You are not alone. Jariten enjoys the prequels.

I, for one, am not jealous of those who enjoy the prequels. I gather plenty of entertainment for myself through nitpicking said prequels. biggrin.gif

To be fair, a lot of people here do that to the idiotic Jar Jar loving prequel fans who think a movie's cool because it has Yoda jumping around with a lightsaber.

I think its obvious that I meant I love both the OT and the PT.

And it says a lot about you to refer to people as idiotic just because they like certain movies. Get a grip man.

use the force-

i like the prequels too, the second more than the first. so youre not alone. BUT, nobody else does. which means you'll be up against it if you decide to stick around. theres some good discussion though from time to time, if you'd like to join in.

It just seems rather odd to me that they would dedicate part of this forum to SW yet only 2 people that I can see(myself included) like the movies.

Actually I think behind our jaded facades all of us really enjoy SW, especially the PT but to an extent even the OT. The test of a starwars fan is whether they get excited seeing the logo come up and the opening scroll fading into the starscape. As I understand it everyone here does. There are people who generally don't like anything (Hannibal) and then there are people who will nitpick just to make a point about how easy it is and how all things are imperfect, but in general I have seen a lot of respect and admiration for these films here. After all, you don't see us opening a forum to discuss films we don't care about, do you?

It's just the way this forum works. Everybody here is split down the middle on a wide variety of topics. You have Christians, Atheists, Communitsts, SW haters, SW lovers, etc....


You can't come in here and tell us that we are jealous of you, and in short say we only talk about SW as a means to complain. That's like coming into someones house and saying "this place sucks" and then leaving.

The Vast majority of us enjoyed the OT. Some hated ROTJ, but for the most part well all liked ANH and ESB. We are all in agreement (save yourself and jariten) that the PT's are trash. Infact, our hate for the PT is what brought many of us together.

the original intention for this board did seem to be a place for praise of the OT and critisicm of the PT. and to many people, the OT is all thats left of Star Wars now. but even with the OT fans, theres still a lot of disagreements, particuarly with RotJ. it seems that someone has to care a lot about star wars to open a board specifically to discuss how they think its being destroyed.

JM - would you be excited by "Star Wars - the Yellow Pages" if it had the logo and scroll fading into starscape? Surely, I am a fan, but the logo and scroll is not enough for me.

Sorry, but there was nothing, absolutely nothing that I enjoyed about TPM. I went to see AOTC just for the old time's sake, out of duty, really, but I know some people here who did not enjoy TPM to the extend that they never watched AOTC.

use the force, most of us here are big fans of the OT, as you would find if you looked back through some of the other threads on the forum. And many of us like the Expanded Universe stuff (novels, computer games etc.) as well - it's just the Prequels that we hate. As for being 'jealous', believe me when I say that envy is the last thing I feel for anyone who likes the PT.

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.
