I'm not making it up, there were some people who really gave those of us who loved Star Wars a hard time.
I'm not saying most were like that, but some.
To me, those of you who make fun of me for liking the se/prequels are every bit as off base as the people who made fun of me for liking the originals.
Same dynamic, different decade.
The big difference between the people who didn't like the classic trilogy and the people who don't like the prequels is the people who didn't like the classic trilogy ended up getting on with their lives. They noted they didn't like them, and they moved on. Sure they put Star Wars down a bit here and there, but they didn't make it a mission of their life to oppose Lucas and everything he stands for.
Now don't get me wrong, I understand why a lot of you are frustrated by Lucas and his unwillingness to release the O-OT anamorphically. I can entirely relate to not liking the changes Lucas made with the SE, and fully understand the drive to get him to release the unaltered OT.
I just don't understand why that has to spill over into hatred for Lucas, the SE's, the preuqles, or the fans who love them.
