Zombie, the one thing that amazes me on that site to this day is the lack of respect for Star Wars '77. Even if I am the only one defending that movie in those forums, I won't give up, cause they are not going to get away with the crap they say about that great film. "The first hour is too boring, the lightsaber fight is not as fast as ROTS, the effects are so outdated, we want to see Vader meet with The Emperor after the death star explodes." They want to put stupid shit in that movie to move it further from the classic it is, and closer to another run of the mill prequel movie.

Before I got to that site, I never dreamed any Star Wars fans would hate Star Wars! I know many friends growing up who loved ESB & ROTJ more, but they always said it was a classic and a great movie, but they found other things in the sequels that made them like em alittle bit more, and I never had a problem with that.

What really irks me is that Lucas caters to TF.n audience now in all the releases he puts out in good quality when they bury his only classic SW movie he ever directed. And we are the true defenders of the Original Star Wars movie that made it all possible for the sequels, and we get non-anamorphic spit in your face quality. This is the only time I truly have turned on Lucas & the newer fans, and I have to say this has left a bad taste in my mouth as a SW fan. I never thought that would be possible.

I really wish George Lucas could log onto that site and see "ANH...is it meh?" and look at the monsters he has created by making too many changes.
