It's also called nostalgia, and yes, the rationalization of aging OT fans about how great they are is quite funny. The Star Wars films have never been accepted as high art because they've never been high art.

That's fine with me, the OT is what brought me into Star Wars fandom. What I do enjoy reading the posts here though is how the posters here think about the OT and get all upset because RoTS is actually liked by many fans, including posters here.

And regarding my diplomacy, I'm prepared to be as kind and courteous as I can be. I'd like to sit down and discuss things plainly. But given some of the posters I'm responding to go out of their way to be offended, sarcastic or angry, that's the kind of responses they'll get back.

I have to say though, the little quote by Lucas about his stance against colorizing B&W films sums up the mentality of the hardcore posters in this board the best. It is quite funny that it never occured to anyone before plastering that quote everywhere that colorizing B&W movies by directors who are long dead are not the same as the director themselves deciding to colorize them.
