OK, Im not sure what happened here. I meant my original post to be more of a funny haha type of thing instead of a "Think you are all stupid" kind of thing. But this thread went very ugly very fast. I wanted to address a few points...
I always admit when Im wrong so on one point here goes... Despite that it was intended as a humorous piece perhaps originaltrilogy.com was not the best forum (so to speak) for my post. So I apologise for that, if you took offense.
I underestimated some (I said some) people's all-consuming hatred for Lucas. I am certainly not trying to chase anyone away from these forums. I was not offended by most of the remarks in this thread despite the somewhat unnessary agression of some of them. I did think about leaving becuase I have been blasted by fans and media alike for still liking Star Wars ever since 1997.
Star Wars is my "thing". It keeps me sane. (OK Im obsessed.) It was awesome, everyone knew it was awesome and everyone agreed that Empire was the best movie. (Every once in a while youd run into people that like Jedi best but there wasnt any heated debate about it.)
I found this forum looking for versions of the prequels with the deleted material reinserted. I was looking for that or the knowledge on how to do it myself. I dont recall which exactly. Then I discovered all these different fan-edits and I thought they were fun so I stuck around. (Not to mention Adywan's masterpiece)
Id like to stick around. I like the talent here. It also seems to be largely kid free, another bonus. I just get exhausted by people complaining unendingly (is that a word?) about what I love so much. I don't get it. I want to share with my fellow fans that joy but I know if I go to a forum, or online, or read a magazine review people will just be bitching about (insert latest SW thing here) becuase George Lucas is the antichrist.
He isnt the antichrist in my opinion. Are all of Lucas ideas pure gold? No. There are things I hate as well, but the good FAR outweighs anything I don't like.
There were some responces in this thread that were far more agressive than they needed to be imho but Im not going to bring those up as I believe it will enflame an already heated situation.
Like I said, I found your forum not through any hatred of Lucas or modern Star wars products and I would like to stick around. But if Im not welcome here and will only be attacked I will leave this community. I dont tend to stay where Im not wanted.
