Go-Mer, if the PT had a dick, you'd be sucking it right about now. I think everyone is entitled to thier opinion, and that means that you don't have to comment on each and every one of them just to protect your precious PT. Yes, the PT and the OT have about the same amount of plot holes withing themselves, but putting them together as a saga means that the PT creates a shitload of them that ruin the viewing experiance. I get that you like the whole saga, you don't have to keep defending it to make us all get that. Can you just chat here without defending the PT at every possible point?

Sucking off the PT isn't somethig to be ashamed of.

They are great movies, every bit as good as the classic trilogy (to me).

I just think it sucks to see people who are so ruled by their negativity towards the prequels. It's like some of you aren't even enjoying the classic trilolgy as a priority. You watch those films just to -not- watch the prequels.

You guys have threads where people talk about how they convinced their younger family member to hate the prequels as much as you guys do. Then claim they have taken their first step into a larger word? Sounds like a more limited world to me.

If the O-OT is really so much better than the prequels, then you wouldn't even be worried about how your family members see the movies. One of you even went so far as to admit they might actually like the PT better than the OT if they are young.

Oh my god, the tragedy of one of your kids being able to enjoy Star Wars as a kid more than you were able to as an adult.

Thank god they have you there to limit their enjoyment of Star Wars to only the things you happened to enjoy.

I just think being a fan is much more fun when you enjoy things rather than organize your hatred for something into a fine point.

Hear you guys nothing Yoda says?

Just because you don't like the prequels doesn't mean nobody else should.

If everyone is allowed to have an opinion, then what's wrong with me having one too?

Are you guys suggesting that I'm somehow sub human because I don't have such a mean spirited slant towards the prequels?

I just don't get how a person can say they are a Star Wars fan and yet focus most of their "fanship" on being negative about everything.

There's a lot to learn from Star Wars, and a lot of you just ignore it.

Not just stuff you can learn from the prequels, but from your precious O-OT before any SE modifications.

I first saw TPM in the theaters when I was 10. I had already seen the O-OT numerous times (the Special Editions in the theaters once, and never again, because we never bought them), and after I came out of the theater, I thought it was the best Star Wars movie ever. It was my favorite of the Star Wars movies. Then it came out on video, and I watched it again at home, and it hit me: Man, this movie isn't as good as I thought it was.

Then Attack of the Clones came out when I was in 7th or 8th grade (so I suppose I was 13) and I remember groaning multiple times in the theater. I thought that it had good stuff in it, but the bad stuff (like the cheesy love dialogue) far outweighed the good.

Then ROTS came out last year, and my friend had to grab my shirt to keep me from walking out of the theater. When the "NOOOOOOO!" scene came, I just buried my head in my hands and sighed. To this day, I have only seen this movie once. I have it on DVD, but I've never sat through the whole thing. To be honest, I can't even make it to Dooku's decapitation before I just have to turn it off.

What sucks is that I wasn't predisposed to hating these movies; quite the contrary. I wanted SO BADLY for them to be great, and they just, quite frankly, sucked. I realized how badly written, badly directed, and badly acted they were. I can still watch the O-OT (I own the 2004 DVDs, but I'm not sure if I've watched any of them all the way through), but I can't even remember the last time I watched an OT movie.

So there you have it. If the kids are smart enough to figure it out, they'll realize that the PT is just a passing fad while the O-OT will remain cinematic classics (or at least the first one will). I came to this conclusion on my own, and I'm sure they can too.

I certainly didn't mean to blanket everyone here with my last post. Obviously there are a lot of you who just happen to prefer the original versions of the classic trilogy and don't treat the prequels or SE like the antichrist.

I certainly don't mean to imply anyone is wrong for not liking the newer stuff. It's all a matter of taste.

I just feel so bad for people who really do seem to focus on what they don't like as opposed to what they do like.

Troll somewhere else, kid. Your act is tired.

Actually, looking at the number of posts you've made in such a short time, maybe you should try spending some time outdoors for a change.

Go-Mer, Darth_Evil just found it annoyign that you had to pick apart his post just because it criticized the prequel trilogy as a sidepoint. If anything, that was an off-topic move for you to make in this thread, but in general it's also just plain annoying. Give the PT discussion a rest sometimes, please.

For me, the unintentional humor of the prequel trilogy is what mostly draws me back, time after time.

This is a thread about the saga, sorry some of you are annoyed by what I say.

Then again, critics in glass houses and all.

No, this thread is about how we watch the movies and why. Not to debate their individual merits. And we're hardly annoyed by what you say, we're annoyed by the repetitive arguments.

Interesting rebuttal. I think I'll counter with...

If anyone keeps repeating the same argument, you don't need to give in and keep re-iterating the same points. You can direct them to a past discussion on the subject.

Yes, you dumb fuck, quality is a point of view, as I said in my post. You can have your opinion, just stop trying to make us all think the same way. We get that you like the PT. We don't hate you for that. We hate you because you force feed it to everyone on each and every post you have. So either learn from what everyone keeps saying to you, or get the fuck off this forum.

Cool it, Darth_Evil. You're a cool kid, but there's nothing to get that worked up about.


And another thing:

That looks exactly like an AWK post. I'm starting to get a little suspicious now...

Yeah, maybe I took it a little too far. But this guy is really, really pissing me off.

Sorry everyone, (except Go-Mer) it won't happen again.

Heh, I do that often, as do many of us here.
