It’s okay that they were bad. Bad movies happen. Just because they’re part of Star Wars doesn’t mean you have to make up reasons to like them.
Yeah we really live in a terrible world pal. People who dare to like things you don’t.
I’m not worried about people liking things I don’t. I like a lot of things other people don’t like. I also love bad movies thanks to being a weirdo and when I found MST3K, I realized I wasn’t alone.
My issue is that the reason people like the PT isn’t because they’re good movies. This is proven by the need for them to create all these elaborate theories about how the PT is good. They have to justify it to everyone else, including themselves, because I know a lot of these people realize the PT films are not good.
The issue isn’t that they like them, it’s that they feel like they have to like them because they’re Star Wars fans or Lucas fans or whatever. It’s really okay to acknowledge that they’re bad films. I enjoy watching dreck like Plan Nine From Outer Space not because it’s a good movie, not because I have some elaborate theory complete with logical leaps and grasping at straws that makes it “secretly good,” but because it’s a bad movie and I’ve accepted that. It’s the denial that annoys me with the PT.
