I understand the disappointment and frustration, it's just unfortunate to see Star Wars fans following that path to embrace hate over this matter.
There seems to be such a low tolerance of the SE/Prequels, and I think that's a little odd coming from people who loved the OT despite a lot of people saying it sucked. From my recolleciton, I remember trying to explain why I loved the classic trilogy to some people who would just look at me like I was a mindless Lucas automoton. This is talking about the classic trilogy mind you.
Now I see a lot of people who loved the classic trilogy treating others who love the SE's/Prequels like mindless Lucas automotons.
I would think that most of us would understand the concept that different people have different tastes, and as Star Wars fans, I would think we wouldn't be so cavaleir about embracing hate over something that at the end of the day isn't about life or death, we are talking about movies here.
Great movies, but life existed just fine for decades before they came out, and if we could never see them again we would find a way to press on somehow.
Wouldn't we?
