Stardust, maybe it’s best to back away. Recognize when somebody isn’t worth engaging with and don’t antagonize them with a wall of text.
Yes indeed. That’s exactly what I’ll be doing. I just felt I needed to provide the resources if anyone decided they wanted to take the leap. I understand we all have a different view of things but sometimes I wish people were willing to open themselves up to hearing both sides of a discussion instead of only what they believe it to be. We’re all guilty of it. Things would be immensely better if we listened and tried to understand things for what they are. I definitely understand why people don’t like the Prequels or even love the Sequels. The Prequels are different from the Originals. They have a different look and feel to them in certain ways. They’re telling a more complex narrative and asking deeper questions than those given in the Original Trilogy. They aren’t as simplistic and have aspects that can be hard to understand the first time watching them. I just wish the same level of understanding was given to George and knowing him as a person. He’s not some cynical man who was trying to make a film you dislike. He just had a vision and he stuck with it no matter what when it came to all of his films, including even the Special Editions. You have to admire someone who is unflinching to what critics want you to make but instead right or wrong you follow your own bliss. It’s a lesson we can all learn from and just because we may not always agree with it or someone we can always try learning from it and respecting it for what it gives to us. It’s also not meant to be condescending but merely show what has been provided to us and a way of seeing things. It can certainly come off that way but that’s not my intentions. I don’t make the rules or pretend to be an expect but I do try to understand things as I find it’s an important ingredient to understanding art and even life itself.
