C3PX said:AxiaEuxine, I don't think your post was the reason for the backlash so much as Keela's was. Kind of funny to hear her going on about being tolerant after telling us to "shut the fuck up". That was not cool, and that kind of behavior does not make one popular around here. We are all about tolerance around here, complain or praise, you will find people who agree with you and disagree with you.
AxiaEuxine said: Well ever since the SE and the Prequels came out you cant read anything about anything Star Wars without someone making a comment on the SE or the prequels. Sometimes it doesnt even have anything to do with the SE and PT. They just take the opportunity to bash what happened to their Star Wars. Its exhausting as a fan of the SE and PT to have it continually based when you are reading about a new SW game coming out that has nothing to do with either. SW fans used to be all one big community and that was refreshing...now that I think about it that sounds a little cult-like but it was my cult and I belonged. Now its just as factured as everything else and I end up writing posts like this instead of what I liked about the latest episode of the Clone Wars...I tried but I saw the responce that episode got in its thread...
At any rate, no need to go all dramatic about "not being wanted" around here. Stick around, as long as you don't go around being an ass, you are way more than welcome around here. If you go around talking about Lucas being god, and telling everyone they need to get over the OOT and accept the SE, well, then don't act shock and surprised at the resulting response.
AxiaEuxine said: Im not saying accept the SE, you dont have to...I dont understand the hatred it generates. (I dont understand preferring the old trench battle to the new one either. Or the new Mos Eisley or the land speeder SPFX being cleaned up, the better Stormtrooper Dewback shot, Lift off from Mos eisley...but I digress :) to each his/her own) However, I do have a very high opinion of Lucas and you make it sound like Ill get blasted for it. Thats not cool if I cant call your opinions into question.
You talked about how much you like Star Wars, that is great! We like it too. I do not like the SE though. Not because it is cool not to like the SE, or because I stubbornly don't want to like it. I just don't like it. I suppose there are things in life you don't like, right?
AxiaEuxine said: You got me there, the things I don't like are legion. But it really does seem that its just trendy to hate Lucas and Star Wars which has been a HUGE part of my life since I was 6 years old back in '77. So to here everyone, everywhere constantly bash it and I suppose bash you becuase you still like it makes my soul ache. Personally I cant wait till friday and another adventure in my fave universe.
None of this is meant to be an attack I am truly tring to understand why it came to this in Star Wars land.
Just one last thing. My wife is my strongest supporter and I have been going on about this Lucas hatred since 97 and she might be tired of listening to me somewhat :) She is no Lucas ass-kisser, her head is not in Lucas' lap and she is more than willing to listen and debate with anyone. Isnt that right Keela?
