Man, the Plinkett videos really set you off, don’t they? Also, I’m surprised you didn’t bite at me comparing Lucas to Michael Bay (albeit sans-jingoism). I’d think that would send you into a rage.
I do get what you’re saying about faith and wanting people to believe in the best intentions of the filmmaker, I really do. Heck, I’ve been in your position when trying to dissect media like Halloween III: Season of the Witch (John Carpenter trying to turn the franchise into a horror anthology series) or Nothing But Trouble (admiring Dan Ackroyd’s raw creative energy). When the rest of the room is dead-set against you, it’s not fun.
Your writing skills and attempts to explain your points are good. However, I still can’t shake the feeling you consider Lucas’ work a sacred cow and you believe that any criticism of the movies is a personal attack on your fandom and by extension you. Sometimes, it’s good to have perspective and know when to back away from a discussion.
