I don't want those kinds of fans up in the front lines with no opposition.

I didn't know there was a war going on, and that movie fans were fighting in it. What's the goal of this war? What beachhead are we trying to secure with these front lines? What's the 4-F test these "kinds of fans" need to pass before they can have a helmet and a rifle?

Haha, thanks Bizzle. Most of that was meant to be satirical anyway. Or at least exaggerated. But there is a rift. The majority of fans do recognize the rift between "us" and "them" whoever the us or the them may be. And I actually find the prequels to be admittedly entertaining. But it seems like most posters in this thread, myself included, are in agreement to give up on all things Star Wars beyond getting the OOT. Therefore, the legacy of Star Wars will be carried on the back of the "them" who support the changes and the ongoing continuation of all things Star Wars. And like you said, I don't think Star Wars fandom is going to die out simply because of the prequels. There is no evidence to show that it's just going to die out because a lot of us here think the prequels are inferior. We're just, most likely, going to stick around here complaining and not really be an active voice anymore.
