Okay, I'll grant you that I said "realistic"... true. In my head, I was shooting more for motion and the explosions and the blasts and all that. I wasn't aiming for scientific integrity. I was just comparing what Lucas did to what had been done before him.

As for opinions being crammed down others' throats... you're the one that said "Nostalgia is nice. Progress is better." That's an opinion that you are offering up as gospel truth and trying to tell me that what I said was wrong. That my belief in the originals being better is nostalgia, but the SEs are better because they are "progress." Now who's trying to "verbally beat" somebody? You're the one that started the attack. I'm just defending my opinion which, apparently, I'm not allowed to have.
