Maybe because the Star Wars that you and I grew up with isn't the same Star Wars anymore. I don't know, just a thought. If you're still trying to "find that feeling", then you may be waiting a very long time.
lordjedi,
its ok......i've started to find that feeling already................thanks to this board...
honestly, and i'm not joking here.....
despite the conflicts (see earlier in the thread), disputes, arguments, and namecalling, (i have thick skin),
i can't even begin to tell you how excited, relieved, and amazed by this board, and the people on it.........
every question i could think of, is instantly answered............help is given, when i haven't asked..
copies of rare / non-existant / bootlegs sent out for free................................ resources that i couldn't have imagined
all combined in one place.....yeah, i've been on the internet before as a spectator.....i only got my own personal
connection a few months ago, and for the first time, i finally have found people that share a passion together...
i have no kids, i'm not married, i've never had a significant other, i don't have pets, nothing...........i dont' even have any
friends that i know of to share anything 'star wars' related to..........................all i've done is work, and maybe enjoy some
other hobbies...........................
i can honestly tell you that a few weeks ago, watching the 8mm transfers of star wars and empire had me overjoyed beyond
belief, i didn't even know they existed, and now after asking, i can watch it in my own home...................later on i got a copy of the bootleg
widescreen version of 'star war's, and shortly after the mono mix............so what? you're all tired of it, and everyones seen them decades
ago.......................................no, to me they ARE SPECIAL, yeah, we have fancy high definition verions, and laserdisc/dvd rips (which have their
own place)...........................but these put me back to a place in time, when simple things were exciting..............
i know maybe i shouldn't be so excited, but its hard for me not to be........................i can't help it, i've been at the movie theaters for EVERY SINGLE
film when it was out, the OT, some re-releases, and the SE, and finally all of the PT......i'm NOT going to miss out now either............
i wish i could be more cynical, and sarcastic, and depressed (i can be that way for a lot of other things though!-see wall-e comments)..................
...................................but not with Star wars.
