Point is, the owners of these franchises make money off of the fans who devote their heart and soul to them, the owners should respect that. Lucas doesn't. You keep talking about this from a business point of view. This is more than just a business to the fans.
its your entertainment not your belonging. there is a very clear difference. and you bring up the biggest problem its the people devoting there heart and soul to a peice of entertainment. dont you think thats bad. there are other things in life that deserve peoples heart and soul. you know that guy, I for get his name but he posted that comment about there being 2 types of fans and everybody is getting mad at him about it. this is what he was talking about. people shouldnt be doing that they should be puting that much emotion into there job or there family or into there comunity, not into a peice of fantasy something some one made up. but thats besides the point. what i am trying to say is that people shouldnt put that much emotion into them, the fact is that they do and that is the release they feel the way the do right now. its also the reason why no matter what lucas does to the films, whether he makes new ones or makes changes, they will always be hated by the hardcore fans.
