You know, the general public already views many Star Wars fans as kind of a sad offshoot of some sort of fanatical cultism. I'm not sure how people will rank in the heirarchy or dorkiness when even admitted Star Wars dorks like myself think people who boycott Episode 3 because of some vague idea Lucas raped his childhood with the SE releases, which BTW is totally arguable with lots and lots of fans like myself having no problem with the changes, are dorks.

Really, you must have some sad life issues to actually start a boycott campaign, and given the readership of this forum, I'm not sure it it will even matter.

That said, RotS, I liked. It's an emotionally draining film the first time you see it. The flaws that it has become more apparent on repeat viewings, but the OT is riddled with flaws as well. I think the kids who grew up with the Phantom Menace will have a special place for this film in 10 to 20 years, much like our obession over ESB's greatness. And they get the benefit of going home and plopping in 4-6 on DVD and find out what happens to the babies.
