I read an interesting editorial on what has happened to the SW fanbase since the PT is over:
-He has made 25% of the fans happy who really like the story of Anakin and the PT
-He has made 50% of the fans pissed off now who really like the OT and didn't want it changed
-He has made 25% of the fans think it is mediocre now who were not diehards but thought the OT movies were good in their day.
Hey George, you say that SW was 25% complete in 1977 and that is why you did the SE, well atleast you were able to make 25% of the fanbase happy after the PT.
