I just don’t understand how some can live life in such an all-encompassing state of hatred and misery for something as petty as a bunch of movies

Have you met Star Wars fans?

well what the hell is this site then?

Original trilogy forum apparently?

It’s…a star wars fan site…that’s like being a mechanic working at a garage and someone asks you if you’ve ever met mechanic

I just mean this is what Star Wars fans do and have been doing for quite some time.

In regards to the prequels, yeah, sure, I was even in that boat for a while before I started taking a slight liking to TPM. But on films that don’t even exist yet, and to the degree of some on here? I don’t smell that kinda stench even from the vocal minority of the larger fanbase. Case in point: imperialscum’s last post on this thread. Lordy have mercy on yall.

What, a man builds a giant mound of dirt in his house and you aren’t entertained?

Yes - we are a community dedicated to preserving history by making sure Lucas can’t succeed in pretending the OOT never happened. Also, we like to pretend that all the other films never happened. Makes sense.

The one has zero to do with the other regardless of your opinion of any of the films.

I’m no real PT apologist, but some of the criticism those films have received is just way over the top. This is where the popularity of the “raped my childhood” stuff comes from, if you’ll remember.

If only this was true. I think any classic film(s) should be protected. I’d hate to see another Godfather for example. I’m dreading Blade Runner 2!

As a presumed human with a presumed functioning brain, you have the ability to ignore things you don’t like and not subject the rest of us to your constant complaints about them.

Classic films do not need protecting when all that happened is that a remake or sequel was made. All that needs fixing in that case is your attitude.

To annoy you, of course.

I’m pretty sure that’s not relevant to the thread, and furthermore just makes you look childish.

Guardians of the Phallusy, anyone?

Sorry, I should have said “just reaffirms that you are childish, and possibly a child.”

The only children here are you two. I don’t make childish films for attention.

When this forum was created in 2003, there was a lot less Star Wars to go around.

In general I agree with you but ROTJ’s ending was such a mixed bag that I would like for another chance to end the series on a better note. Preferably one that isn’t overly happy (or depressing) just for the sake of it.

“Protected” from sequels? Ehhhh…I will argue that films should be preserved, regardless of quality. Ex., the prequels’ original cuts, hell I’d even defend shit like the Super Mario Bros Movie (which I’m still waiting for a region-free bluray of).

However, sequels/remakes should be fair game. It’s up to the filmmakers whether it’s good or not, if it is, well no complaints here. If it’s bad…just let it fade out of existence like most shit films. For instance, the Ghostbusters reboot. If all that hate boner-ism wasn’t built up around it, it would’ve came and gone, the only impression left being Ecto Cooler and an awful Rotten Tomatoes score. Oh wait, that’s already happening. So much for all that time, energy, and vitriol all it’s detractors poured into it.

Is this supposed to hurt my feelings or something? You’re gonna have to try harder. I recommend insulting my dead child or my autistic child, your choice.

So remaking Psycho, shot for shot is okay? Copies of masterpiece paintings are called fakes! Is film not art?

Of course it is. No one is forcing you to watch it. Just like no one is forcing you to watch the sequel movies, but for some reason you and a few others like you won’t shut up about how terrible they are.

I genuinely forgot that even existed. You have to dig for examples, yet prove my point even further.
