Cassidy, SW fandom has always been divided, there just wasn't any internet back in '83. If there were an internet back in '83, ROTJ would have gotten ripped to shreds. Ewoks? Darth Vaders a pussy? Luke/Leia are siblings? Kenobi POV?

I know so many people who are just SW'77 fans and that is it, but other then Anchorhead, I have yet to meet one on the internet, cause they just love the first film and don't really care about anything that happened after 1977. Then you have a huge amount of SW/ESB fans who think they are the only great ones of the OT, let alone the series. Those fans can't understand how anyone can watch an inferior movie like ROTJ or the PT more than once? Then you have the OOT fans like myself, who sorta agree with the SW/ESB fans in quality, yet i am anal enough that ROTJ will always be apart of my saga cause I love the characters. Then you have the SE/PT or saga fans, who just love anything with SW, and really don't look at quality, they just enjoy it all.

Trust me Cassidy, if there were an internet back in 1980, there would be a large section of fans saying, "Darth Vader is Lukes dad, WTF? Lucas is ruining SW!" Just as they would have said in 1983, "Luke/Leia are sibling now, WTF? Lucas is ruining SW!" Just as they said in 1999, "Midiclorians? Jar Jar? Darth Vader built C3PO? WTF? Lucas is ruining SW!" And in 2005, "The PT sucked, Padme losing the will to live, Darth Vader turned for that reason of a dream? WTF? Lucas is ruining SW!"

Lucas has been changing around the story of SW since 1978 as Zombie has shown, it is up to all of us to choose when we feel he ruined it, and just watch the movies we love. But until the OOT comes out on DVD in great quality, there is gonna be bitchin on this forum.
