I mean, it made me cry the first time I saw it in the theater.
LOL!!!!!


I don't find that humorous. The PT has been a big part of my life and means to me what the OT has meant to you.
I concur. Pulling cheap jokes off of other peoples' honesty is hardly honorable. Eventhough I know AWK's old track record of insults, I think he earns some respect for his efforts to lead a serious discussion. I'm a bit disappointed that Jay's decision to give him another chance earns so much disrespect.

AWK, I know a lot of people were emotionally touched by Anakin's (ROTS) death scene the first time they saw it in the theatre (myself included, and I'm of older age). So don't let yourself be fooled about that. I also think that the problem was not that that special scene was screwed up, but that (as was illustrated above) the movies didn't do a very good job as to attach the audience to the main characters of the story. If you felt attached to the characters nonetheless, it's something people should (and probably do) envy you for.

I had these emotional moments with the original trilogy as a kid, so I'm not too bitter about having missed out on that in the prequels. I'm just bitter about Lucas & company lying around like we're all some kind of idiots for being hooked onto StarWars.
