The American Heritage Dictionary defines 'fan' as:

ETYMOLOGY: Short for fanatic



While those definitions reflect the popular consensus of the word's origins, the first known use of the word "fan" was as a short-form of "fancier" and "fancy." As in, "I fancy those R2D2 underoos." The short form was used to decribe pet fanciers. re: "I like Star Wars, so I'm a Star Wars FANcier."


To address the topic: as far as I'm concerned there's the Prequel Movies ... and then there's Star Wars. No need to call it the original trilogy ... those films are Star Wars. The prequels are their own thing ... an awful thing that I hope I can forget soon.
