Yeah, obviously nobody read my opinion of that on the last page.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

There’s more misrepresentation and insinuation meant to provoke. We’re discussing if you’re a troll, Go-Mer. Sure, some people are definitely reaching too far and saying that a differing opinion is why you’re supposedly a troll, but that’s obviously incorrect logic.

On the other hand, just about everyone here has had -no- problem disrespecting my point of view. Saying I want to have gay sex with Lucas. Saying that I am flat out wrong for holding the opinions I have, and generally insulting me for not having a problem with the Star Wars saga.

Again we see another one of your broad misrepresentations. Most people here have not treated you that way, Go-Mer. Those offensive people are who you have chosen to focus on and reply to the most, for whatever sick reason, but that’s hardly “just about everyone here.” Don’t be ridiculous.

So if I have to go for "insinuating" disrespect, shouldn't all of you be banned for doing it outright?


“All” of us? Uhg.

Yes, there are offensive people on this board, Go-Mer. Yes, they call you names and treat you badly. But, it wouldn’t be half as bad if you weren’t provoking them in similar ways. Considering how you’re the out-of-place viewpoint, naturally you’ll get more of the focus. Don’t act surprised, you know full well what the reaction would be to some of your posts.

Besides, you’re posting a lot more than they are. So while useless posting is still useless posting, you continue it more often than they do. Like CO said, I like peace and quite in which I can discuss things reasonably. Seeing who can post more to win an argument is an attitude that pisses me off. When you focus on actual issues, and carefully consider other people’s arguments, then I actually enjoy your posts quite a bit, Go-Mer.

I did, and I agree. If consumers don't voice their demands, then what they demand will usually go unnoticed. I remember challenging Go-Mer on this point once before and I was under the impression that he agreed with our right to be critical of Lucas. Now I'm less sure that he knew what I was talking about.

He'd be right. Even if Lucas himself doesn't read these forums, others do. Large companies monitor the fan communities because it helps them make marketting decisions. Other fan communities also monitor us, and frankly, originaltrilogy.com isn't taken very seriously.

After seeing a bunch of people make sexual innuendos about George Lucas, despite the forum's owner specifically asking us to tone down the Lucas-bashing, I can see why.

Seriously, we come off as a ground of angry nerds who will never be satisfied. Lucas could read about us and be saying to himself, "I could release the O-OT in higher-than-high definition, with a digital remastery that totally surpasses everything, and including every concievable special feature imaginable, and on top of that, give it away for free to anyone who asks... and these guys would still hate my guts. So why bother?"



Dude, if you really think what people say on a message board will make or break the O-OT in higher quality in the future, I think you're alittle crazy. Now if we wrote letters and emails to Lucasfilm with profanity then that is a different story, but the internet is the internet.

Lucas will release the O-OT in high quality in the future for one reason only: If it makes him money and that is it, and he could care less what the O-OT fans say on some message board. The only reason it came out in laserdisk quality in Sept is not cause we bitched and moaned during the PT days, it was because Lucas does not want the O-OT to be the official version, so if it looks worse than the 2004 SE disks, he figures any new fan will goto the SE.

He knew that a section of the fanbase wants these disks, and that is why he put them out, but there is a reason they come with the SE, just in case NEW fans buy it, or fans of the SE are curious to see what the O-OT is like. But in the end, Lucas is gambling the diehards like us will put up with Laserdisk quality, but any fan who doesn't crave the O-OT will want to watch the great quality that the 2004 disks represent.

What alot of SW fans don't understand is Lucas is doing this all for the future of SW, and though I disagree with him 100% for suppressing the O-OT, he doesn't want any new fans to fall in love with the O-OT, or what he calls outdated effects. He wants the movies to tie with the PT movies, in terms of special effects and that guy called Hayden Christenson who is now in ROTJ. He wants everyone to see the saga 1-6 now, and that is why he doesn't care about this fanbase anymore, cause he has already gotten our money from 77-96, and he feels there is a whole new generation of SW fans who will keep the SW train alive who like the saga 1-6, and like the SE. Whether they are as loyal as we are, I disagree with Lucas, but that is definitely the route he is going, and like I said it has ZERO to do with a bunch of whiners on the internet.

I apologise for being so broad with my comments, Tiptup. It really is only a few people who I feel are being unreasonable. Certainly you are one of the many people here who, while strongly disagreeing with me, manage to conduct debate in a civilized fashion. I also realize that sometimes my tit for tat approach to some arguments can become annoying, I do try to consciously keep from doing that most of the time. But in the threads where I don't succeed, I don't see how my repeated arguments are any more reppetitious than the others who present an opposite position.

I do feel fairly alone here in my opinions, which is why I end up being the only one to defend my stance a lot of the time. There might be 3-4 people presenting an argument against mine, so yeah you might see me posting 3-4 times more than any one of my opponents. I feel that making counterpoints back and forth is fair play in a debate, and it always takes more than just me to tango.

I know it may seem that my stance is unwavering and impossible to pursuade, but since I have come here there have been a few things that have been explained to me that I did not know before. Such as the fact that there -are- actually prints Lucas could clean up to make a better O-OT transfer. Up until I came here, I was under the impression that Lucas' saying there was no way he could do it was all there was to the story. Thanks to Zombie, who tried explaining this stuff to me before on the ban happy TFN, I was able to straigten out my perception on that point, and that has made me sympathise with the cause here even more.

Also in talking to you Tiptup, I was able to broaden my perception of why a lot of you don't like the new Emperor scene in ESB. I thought it was just because of the dialoge, and had never even pondered the possiblity that someone just prefer the way the Emperor was originally in ESB over the Ian McDiarmid. I may personally prefer McDiarmid, but I do appreciate where you are coming from better now, where at first I thought it was a pretty unreasonable stance to take.

The people who want me just gone from here on the other hand have made it quite clear that they have no intention of changing their mind at all. As a very stubborn person myself, I respect that. Hell I don't even mind the "gay for Lucas" jokes. I mean really I am an extreme example of a Lucas supporter, and appreciate the way you guys must see me.

Also I am entirely for you guys voicing your disatisfaction. I just mean to counterbalance that to keep our stance as reasonable as possible.

You guys talk about how much Lucas sucks and lies and is motivated by money, and I'll say hey wait a minute, is that really fair? And then you guys can say "Yes it is fair because of this and this and this."

I think that's going to be more productive than just everyone agreeing that Lucas sucks.

The real problem here is some people not only don't want to debate these things, they want to make sure nobody else is debating it either.

I just don't see the point of coming to a forum if not to open yourself up to the possiblity of growth. I challenge the "Lucas Sucks" standpoint, and you guys challenge that with "no really, Lucas sucks".

I would rather say I had considered the arguments against him than to just go around like a blind Lucas fanatic.

This is fucking ridiculous.

I'm done with it.

JamesEight, you are an asshole and a moron. I don't need to go into a rambling explanation about it, because his posts speak for themselves. I can say whatever I want, but he will just keep saying the same things, that I have no reason for hating Gomer. I gave him reasons. Not good enough. What a hypocrite. He will go against anyone against Gomer, and then bash people for doing the same thing on the other side of the camp.

Gomer, you are a troll that has completely ruined being on the forums. I can't believe the mods haven't gotten rid of you. It's ridiculous. The mods have closed many a thread for getting off topic, but for some reason they don't ban someone who purposefully derails threads. Quite frankly, it baffles me.

I'm leaving. I'm not coming back to the General Discussion thread again, until maybe one day all this is cleared up. You might see me from time to time on the Fan edit boards. If you wish to contact me, I will check my PM's from time to time. I will not be giving out my e-mail adress, unless someone PM's me and wants it, and I trust them. To all who I got along with here, I hope you know it was a great few months on the forums. Despite some of its members, its still the best forum on the net, IMHO. I'm sad to go, but I can't stand this anymore. Like I said, if this all clears up, I'll come back to this board again. Until then, Adios Amigos.

Darth_Evil....you need to chill the #$%@ out, man. It's only a message board. Gomer's laughing his ass off at you right now cuz you're getting all bunched up about it. I agree that Gomer is a bit much at times. He's kinda like the old, crazy grandmother that many of us know. He talks and talks, saying the same things over and over again and drives us completely nuts till we just want to strangle the bitch. You get all hyper while they just sit there and remain totally calm and completely oblivious to all the commotion they're causing.

Only in this case, I think Gomer knows exactly what he's doing. He came to a board right after the OT was released and he found a board that was already wound up about the shitty release and he's been sprouting his point of view which he KNOWS is unpopular here. He does it in a calm, fairly unemotional and articulate manner. There's simply nothing we can do about it cuz he always hides behind that "certain point of view" and "just a different opinion" and "here to challenge my opinions" stuff. The only thing that's really against him here is the derailing accusation. If he's a troll, he's a damn good one. Pains me to say it, but it's true.

Judging from the amount of posts he makes, I do wonder about him though. He posts far too much, which to me, begs to question some things. He's articulate enough to be older and he argues well, so I do believe he is 35 or at least in that age range. I do believe he's either the "living in my mom's basement" variety of fan or the "no life/probable virgin" type of fan. Either way, he doesn't seem to have too much going for him outside of this board if he posts here so much. He posts on and off all day. He's logged on all day too and in the evening he posts as well, so please keep in mind just who and what you're dealing with when you get all flabbergasted with this guy. He seems like some kind of uber fan. Those types of fans are really embarassing, but hey...they're out there and there's nothing you can do about it, so just live with it people.

Gomer, I really have no problem with you actually. I was rather mean to you at the beginning cuz that's how I like to smoke out trolls. I attack them until they slip up. That was how I go Raul back in September. I stayed on him until he slipped up and exposed himself like the fraud that he was and look, we're rid of the little shit now. As for you Gomer, you're not going to change anyone's opinion here. You're not challenging anyone around here either. This site if for SW fans of a particular taste. I don't care that you like the PT. I don't care that you like the SE. I don't care that you think Lucas should be given the benefit of the doubt. I disagree on all of those points. You will find that others here feel the same...and more, they don't want to hear your opinions because they don't care and don't want to be convinced or argue about it. This site is the turf of a gang of people who like the OUT and you are waltzing through our 'hood' talking shit. It's no wonder you've had so much venom thrown at you. What I don't understand is why you haven't gotten tired or fed up with it. No one puts this much effort into trying to convince others like this unless they were doing so purely to fuck with people. I'm not even sure what you're trying to convince us of anymore. It's like you're playing chess, but deliberately playing for a stalemate and when the fight goes out of the discussion, you say something to provoke the discussion again, only to achieve the same stalemate.

I think your time would be best served by just admitting that you have your views and many of us have ours. Let's just accept it as fact and move on. Please do not derail anymore threads. If there is an OUT discussion going on, then keep the PT and SE shit out of it. It's old anyway and you're getting old too....too old to be wasting this much time on this stuff.

Darth Evil don't let Gomer make you leave the website, I say just ignore his posts, just like many of you here, if you ignore he will leave. I checked out TFN today, and he is getting in the same arguments there, so please don't buy into that he wants to challenge himself here.

This guy has nothing to do all day other then sit around and talk ALL FRICKIN DAY on various websites, so if that floats his boat, so be it.

I still would love to see you sign up for ORS Gomer, cause you wouldn't last one week there, even the PT gushers are brutal in their posts, but I know you have gotten the invitation before, but I have yet to see your name pop up there.

You be suprised how much more intelligent the posters at ORS are then TFN. I even like the PT gushers there, cause they are not just Lucas Lackeys, they admit what parts of the PT are pure shit, but they readily admit to still loving the films, so how can I argue with that?

ORS is loaded with ex-TFN gushers and bashers and suprisingly they all get along there, cause no one has an agenda there, unlike TFN where if you don't see all films equally, they think you are not a fan, yet one of the mods started a thread, "Is ANH meh?" Any many morons agreed!

What kinda of fucking SW site talks shit about the Original SW, which is my favorite movie of all-time, yet chastises me as a basher cause I don't love Lucas's PT films. That is the ultimate irony over there.

This, then, brings us back to my post about the ten-year rift of Star Wars fandom. My argument was that all fans - OUT, SE, PT, Holiday Special - should have places to go. The impression I got, by the name

ORIGINAL TRILOGY .COM

was that this site was for OUT fans.

There's a fallibility in that.

This topic is happening on the "General Star Wars Discussion" forum. When I go to the forum index, it describes this section thusly:

"General Star Wars Discussion
General discussion about the Star Wars universe."

For OUT fans. For OUT fans. For OUT fans.

That's it. Nowhere does it say "OT Only."

Really? What's the URL again?

In fact even before Go-Mer came, most of our topics were about the PT. When I first arrived here in 2004, most of our discussion had nothing to do with the OT and in fact was all about the PT and people speculating on how Lucas was going to resolve certain plot points in the PT.

So? I'd much rather read Jay, Zion, Anchorhead, Gaffer Tape, Darth Evil, CO, Cable X-1, Invader Jenny, Tiptup, and other OUT fans discuss the PT instead of reading Go-Mer-Tonic, Jedi Randy, Stormtrooper 1776, Darth Toe Jam, and other PT fans discuss anything. When I'm in the mood for their opinions, I go elsewhere. At least I used to, before the infection spread.

In fact, the name "originaltrilogy.com" has nothing to do with the forum itself, but simply that this site is a campaign headquarters for the preservation of the original, unaltered versions of the first three Star Wars movies. The forum is not even the main goal or feature of this site--it is purely an accessory.


It's a campaign HQ - for like-minded fans.

The idea that originaltrilogy.com is a site strictly for those who don't like the PT and who only want to discuss the original versions of the first three Star Wars films is entirely a modern myth.


Yes, I remember the extensive discussion on this topic at a lyceum our local university hosted.

The entire focus of this site is getting the O-OT out on DVD and in the best quality possible. If you support that, you belong here. Go-Mer supports that, so he belongs.


I, for one among many, doubt the sincerity of that support.

This forum was NEVER about bashing the PT or the SEs, in fact there have been many, many members here who have loved both and don't demonize George Lucas


-none of whom try to jam the PT/SE up our ass. Notice no one is complaining about those other "many, many members?" Explain that, resident sociologist.

--in fact this board's very moderator has a stickied topic right here on this very forum that is titled "please tone down the Lucas bashing." The idea that OT.com is strictly for people who bash the PT, the SEs, and George Lucas is a modern myth, and furthermore seems to be carried particularly by two groups of people: Go-Mer haters, and people who joined the forum quite recently. Frankly, seeing these people who joined last month telling Go-Mer what this board is about is like a Christian going to China and saying you're not really Chinese unless you believe in Jesus.


First of all, nice of you to quote the title of the thread and not the substance. He didn't say not to do it. He didn't even say to do it less. He wanted the language toned down, some of which sounded like death threats (which I do not condone).

I also like the "people who joined the forum quite recently". I'm sure that matters.

Does the hostility by some here bother you? Good. Now you have a taste of what it felt like over there.

A URL is just a location, not a descriptor. If I live on Smith Street, it doesn't mean my last name is Smith.

Sorry bud, but it doesn't work that way--you can't say PT discussion isn't allowed, then turn around and say it is but only in certain circumstances. It either is or it isn't.

And the last way you're going to win an arguement is by saying "You can speak, but only as long as you agree with me." Guess what? You don't own the forum, and the people who DO own it apparently see nothing wrong with Go-Mer or pro-PT discussion, or they would say so. Your behavior is the height of arrogance and self-righteousness.

Thirdly, if this forum is only for discussing the OUT, why do we have a section called "Theatrical Cuts vs. Special Editions"? Oops, facts shoot you in the foot once again.

In fact, the name "originaltrilogy.com" has nothing to do with the forum itself, but simply that this site is a campaign headquarters for the preservation of the original, unaltered versions of the first three Star Wars movies. The forum is not even the main goal or feature of this site--it is purely an accessory.

Only in your interpretation.

The idea that originaltrilogy.com is a site strictly for those who don't like the PT and who only want to discuss the original versions of the first three Star Wars films is entirely a modern myth.


Yes, I remember the extensive discussion on this topic at a lyceum our local university hosted.


Unless the founders and owners of this site were present at this discussion, whatever conclusions you came to are still your subjective beliefs and don't mean jack.

Geez, would you go up to the owners of Wal-Mart and tell them what products they're not allowed to carry as well? Because that's the exact impression I'm getting from you--one of those errant nobodies who feels he owns and controls everything.

The entire focus of this site is getting the O-OT out on DVD and in the best quality possible. If you support that, you belong here. Go-Mer supports that, so he belongs.


I, for one among many, doubt the sincerity of that support.


Too bad your doubts mean nothing. That is, unless you have some damning evidence that his support is just a facade. And no, "he supports the PT" is not evidence.

(In fact, I've begun to wonder if we'll next petition for the uncut, theatrical release of the PT).

This forum was NEVER about bashing the PT or the SEs, in fact there have been many, many members here who have loved both and don't demonize George Lucas


-none of whom try to jam the PT/SE up our ass. Notice no one is complaining about those other "many, many members?" Explain that, resident sociologist.


Again your stance changes. First you say there shouldn't be PT/SE discussion at all, then you say PT/SE discussion is allowed as long as its limited to criticism of the PT/SE, now you say its allowed as long as it's not "jammed up our ass." Pick a stance and stick with it, man.

Furthermore, I've been involved in many of the same discussions as Go-Mer (and not always on his side) and I fail to see how he's "jamming it up our ass" any more than any other PT fan is, and I've never once seen him derail a topic as many here claim. Indeed, in every topic I've seen where he talks about the PT, the PT was already a relevant topic anyway. The only thing he does is take a stance that isn't precisely the same as all the angry extremist anti-Lucas nerds here, in fact he's probably the most cool-minded and reasonable poster here.

If anything, it's not Go-Mer that derails topics... its people who spam up every topic Go-Mer is in just so they can bash him. Which, by the way, I've read this board's terms of service, and harrassing another member is A VIOLATION OF THOSE TERMS. And yet, Go-Mer's critics have made a topic all about Go-Mer--by this site's own TOS, that should be grounds for an immediate ban of the topic starter (not to mention, this topic is posted in "General Star Wars" when in fact it has nothing to do with Star Wars, so its off-topic as well).

I also like the "people who joined the forum quite recently". I'm sure that matters.


It matters a lot--it shows you have no grounds for claiming that this forum is meant to cater to a specific mindset. It's awfully pretentious of you to come in here and act like you know more about this forum and its purpose than the long-time members and even its founders.

I once knew a kid who was just like you--he would come over on weekends, and proceed to act like everything I owned was his. He would decide what movies we were and weren't allowed to watch, what video games we weren't allowed to play, and what activities we were and weren't to anticipate in. He would even plug devices into my computer without permission (which caused me to have to delete several viruses). I like to keep things perfectly organized, but he would leave games on the floor and CD-ROMs laying on tables, out of cases. Finally, I got sick of him and simply said I don't want him to come over anymore.

You're the same damn way: You come to this forum with fists swinging and laying down all these rules about what is and isn't allowed, but guess what: This is not your forum. You don't own it, you didn't create it. All you did was fill out a signup form and recieve a password. You haven't even been here half as long as Go-Mer has, and yet you have this notion that God or someone has given you divine authority to tell Go-Mer what he is or isn't allowed to post. So sorry, but Go-Mer has not violated the TOS or any forum rules, so he is quite welcome here unless the actual moderators of this. YOU are little more than a spoiled, pampered brat, crying "me me me." YOU are the one who does not belong here, because this forum is about Star Wars, and that's ALL Star Wars, not just the parts you want to hear about, not just pandering to your private wants, not just you, you, you.

You want a forum where all anyone can talk about is what you want to hear? Make your own forum. Don't pester up forums that you didn't create and are not a recognized authority figure on and go telling everyone what we're not allowed to say.

Does the hostility by some here bother you? Good. Now you have a taste of what it felt like over there.


So... this entire arguement is because you have some unfulfilled need for revenge?

Sorry... I do get a little too passionate.

But I can't help it... people who think only opinions they agree with should be heard, people who act like authorities on things they know nothing about, and people who make up their own rules so they can try to force said rules on people who don't want them are three of my biggest pet peeves, and I don't feel the least bit sorry to hurt the feelings of those who press my hot buttons.

Yeah...stuff like this just makes me roll my eyes at him. NO ONE here posts like this, even jokingly. I love how he ignored my post where I called him an embarassing uber fan. Maybe I hit a nerve. I just picture a 35 year old virgin surrounded by SW shit sitting in front of his computer posting on these sites all day in between playing SW video games online. I'd love to confirm it since Gomer and I are both in the Chicago area.

HEEEEEEY!!! I'll bet I know who Gomer is!!!!!

When I saw Episode 3 at the midnight show, there was this older guy (definitely in his 30s) that sat right up in front. The theater was packed and this dude starts clapping and singing "We want Star Wars!!!" clap clap "We want Star Wars" clap clap. Then these college kids behind me and my sister started yelling, "Nerds, nerds, nerds, nerds, nerds" just like in Revenge Of The Nerds. Next thing I know, the WHOLE theater is chanting, "NERDS NERDS NERDS NERDS NERDS!!!!" It shut that guy up really quick. Come on Gomer.....that was you, wasn't it? Admit it....
