I don't mind his tone, and I don't think his comments about die-hard, prequel-obsessed Star Wars fans are that far off the mark. Have you checked out TheForce.net recently?

I post there regularly. Just because most fans of the franchise have moved on, have a larger perspective and are not caught up in a feedback loop of hate and anger doesn't make our opinions any less credible. But I suppose taking potshots at people you think don't read this board is how you get off as being slightly superior.

I'm not a biggest fan of the prequels, but they still have a story to tell and the first two adds to my understanding of where the Star Wars universe pre Luke Skywalker began, the political situation, the character connections. The fact that Revenge of the Sith is such a wonderful movie was only a bonus.

As for the SFgate article on StarWars, leave it the left-wing columnists to come up with articles like that making sweeping generalizations and bemoaning how nude fat frenchmen throwing shit on canvas isn't appreciated more as art.
