Have you tried looking over at TFN…? 😉

Oh I bet they love us over there.

Been there. I see generally criticism of Lucas’ writing choices as well as other things. Even though the majority seems to err on the side that Lucas was a stronger creative than all of the ST writers. Which is a sentiment I think moreso similarly on.

Yeah, I think Mocata was being somewhat sardonic or flippant - given TFN’s history of treating Original Trilogy fans… poorly:-

2️⃣ Ⓓ • Other websites / communities supposed issues with OT•com, the Original Trilogy, or the unaltered theatrical cuts

 
Of course TFN would seemingly have that majority view… as the likes of Kasdan, Huyck, Katz and others who contributed to the OT are often overlooked or glossed over by many on there - despite being stronger creative writers than those of the ST… and also than George and Hales for the PT. Yet it is baffling that many forget, or neglect to mention, the above contributors.

Though fair play to George when it comes to his writing - he does admit: “I bleed on the page, and it’s just awful…”
