So you like the three Brian Daley Han Solo books better than the OOT?  

Yes.  I just don't have any interest anymore in Lucas Star Wars. 

"OOT" and "Lucas Star Wars"   includes the first movie.  That statement would say that you like that Han Solo books over the first movie and that you have no interest in the first movie anymore

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he's saying.  I just don't understand why you seem to be so upset by this.

upset? no  shocked and weird-ed out? yes

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he's saying. 

but it contradicts what he said later on

Anchorhead said: It was (is) a fantastic stand-alone film. 

and here as well

Anchorhead said:Have we met before? -  I haven't been a fan of anything other than the 1977 story for about 20 years.

shouldn't he have originally said he had no interest in 2/3's of the OOT instead of saying he had no interest in the WHOLE thing? 

So he likes the Han Solo books and the radio drama better than the first film.  Why does that have to mean he doesn't like the film?

--edit--

Now you're just being pedantic.

He said he had no interest in it.  That pretty much says he doesn't like it. 

He has no interest in the movie, because the story is better served in the audio drama (in his opinion), therefore he no longer has interest in the film version of the story.

That doesn't mean he doesn't like the movie.

no longer having in interest in film version of story = no longer having in interest in movie = doesn't like movie

huh?  I'll have to look that up. 

so you think I'm overly concerned about small matters and going into too much detail?   perhaps.   But his stance just has me very curious. 

Yes, you are being very pedantic, and you keep acting as if his opinion is empirically wrong.  That bothers me.

I'm going to stop speaking for Anchorhead at this point, and let him speak for himself.

I don't think his opinion is empirically wrong.   It is just that in our conversation he seemed to contradict himself.  

Anchorhead,  if you don't think ESB and ROTJ.  That ok.  Its your opinion and you are entitled too.   Same if you don't like the first movie. 

I agree to disagree.

I just find it so weird that this conversation is taking place at all.  I know Warb never ventures into Star Wars-related threads anymore, but I thought it was pretty well-established where Anchorhead stood.  And, honestly, as long as I've seen Anchorhead around here, I've never seen anyone take him to task for just liking the first movie.  In fact, I've always thought his view was a refreshing deviation.

1: I honestly did not know he thought that way

2: I wasn't trying to take him to task.  His stance seemed very strange to me and got me curious.  As our conservation progressed, it seemed like he was contradicting himself.   I got confused.   I agree I probably went too far.   I'm sorry.

Now the first blows been cast and the war begun.

You're either with the OOT, or you're against it. All or nothing.

That sounds like commie talk to me.

Will you sign a loyalty oath to the OOT? Or are you some kinda Anchorhead sympathiser!
