Putting words into my mouth, how nice.
I was saying (and I know because I said it and you misread it or just plain could not understand the words on the screen) that EVEN IF ROTS sucks my dick, which I fully doubt considering what I've seen and heard so far, and even if I LOVE EVERY FRAME I may very well buy the film and consider it Star Wars-worthy but I will also be justified in wondering why the previous two films failed to measure up.
I too have the ability to discern the difference between a single film in a series and the series itself.
Examples: Back to The Future - I like the first one but I'm not too fond of the sequels.
I like the first three Superman films, III being my favourite and I don't like IV Quest for peace.
I like the first two Jaws films but not 4 The Revenge and I find Jaws 3D to be utterly hilarious in a so bad it's almost good kind of way.
I consider myself an A Nightmare on Elm St fan even though I only like the first one and the third one.
Your posts are dripping with condescension and as much antagonism as you claim to be railing against, just look at how threads turn into wars when you pop your head up. It's almost like you have your responses written before you read posts you respond to, do you? Are you just saying the same well thought out and coherent yet priggish and uppity drivel ad nauseum?
If that's true then you're the most erudite troll I've ever encountered and it's a pleasure to float your boat.
At the same time as enjoying a single Star Wars film for the two whatever hours we sit in the cinema trying to unstick our feet from the floor is there some reason why we cannot hold it up to the standards set by the rest of the series (OT vs PT)?
I know that the common retort is that "we cannot hold Star Wars up to the lofty standards of 'real' films becaus ethese are big dumb space opera kid's films filled with Ewoks and whatnot" and I'll ignore that for the moment but ask again why Star Wars cannot be compared to Star Wars?
