Know i agree, a lot of people are sucking the fun out of SW, and I don't just mean those who dislike one or more of the prequels. There are many people who think every frame of these movies is perfect (which is fine) but they choose to go on zealous rampages to try and convert others to Lucasdom, as though uncle George will be the one waiting at the pearly gates to decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.

And in general SW itself is starting become less fun to me, I find that the prequel era (not just the movies themselves) and the attitude and statements of GL on several occasions has actually diminished my appreciation for even the OT. There was a time when SW seemed like this great thing and GL this incredible visionary, but it feels more like the ANH, ESB and to a lesser extent ROTJ were just flukes, that GL got lucky and a lot had to do with the other creative people involved.

I'm starting to buy into all that crap that forumnerds innondate me with day in and day out, that the OT is in reality no better then the PT. And that disheartens me to no end.

I think its important to take a step back from SW for a while (at least for me) and try and forget about it a little, so that hopefully if Ep3 is good it will excite me and make the saga feel new again.

But don't worry I'm not planning to abandon OT.com any time soon.
