The biggest problem with SW sites now is that you have 2 distinct trilogies that can have a diehard fanbase, but the problem is they both have to post on SW sites now. The majority of SW fans now that populate SW sites are Saga fans and OT fans, and we are debating the same movies in different contexts. If you are talking saga 1-6, then Leia is talking about her mom dying at childbirth to Luke in ROTJ, yet if you are strictly talking OOT 4-6 talk, then you can rationalize that she took Leia in exile and died very young.

There lies the problem is that you a set of OT movies that can be interpreted in 2 different ways as to before the PT and after the PT, yet we all have to come to a Star Wars site to talk, so you essentially are debating issues in the movies that some deem exist and some say they didn't happen cause they don't recognize the PT.

That is why I like the individual sites now like OT.com where we are blantant about our views, we love the OOT, we talk in context of the OOT, we hate the SE, and we always talk about how the PT could have been better. The problem with SW.com and TFN is that they are blantant PT(saga) fans, and that is fine with me, but they say they want all views of the movies, including SW '77 fans, OOT fans, yet they are the ones who are censored or shouted down because they don't conform to the Saga now.

My point is that you can call us bias if you want, but just check out the name of the site when you log on here and it will give you an idea of what people think, SW.com and TFn are just propaganda for 'PT.com or Saga1-6.com.
