None of what I’m saying is attacking anyone personally. So I’d greatly appreciate if you didn’t put words in my mouth. Please and thank you.
I agree. I never said you were attacking anyone personally, and have not put words in your mouth. I did say “What you are saying is insulting and a little narrow minded.” and “it seems obvious you have no respect for people with the view that the Prequels were not enjoyable movies.”
I am sorry if that is harsh, but it my reading of what you have wrote about people who do not like the Prequel films, in here, and in the Prequel Trilogy thread.
A newbie doesn’t have that opinion. It’s like a newborn baby. A baby is pure. Just like a newbie to Star Wars or whatever it might be they’re learning about for the first time. I’m simply giving information and tools to make it so what is misunderstood becomes accessible instead of wanting someone else’s viewpoint that reinforces what my opinion is already or becomes other than from George Lucas for example, which is always definitive but evolving as all stories do.
We were all newbies again going into the Prequels. We were all looking forward to them. We all wanted them to be great movies. Unfortunately for many fans this wasn’t the case. Yet we all made our opinions after watching them, whether these were good, mixed or bad. No baggage. No projections. No need to later understand the author’s intentions either.
We haven’t misunderstood them - or simply “do not understand” them. Tools, intentions, a bio on George, visual literacy, additional content and so on are obviously very important to you with these films, and that is great, as you have repeatedly stated many times. But for many fans they are simply not required to like or dislike a film. It feels like I and others are repeating ourselves over and over, but what happens on screen is the most important for many fans. Please stop. Or at least try to respect the OP and stay on the topic of their thread.
