Don't feel bad vaderisnothayden there will always be those who like the prequels despite the fact that they sucked, and you will never be able to convince them otherwise.  Trying to convince them that the only real star wars is the original trilogy from 1977-1983 is a losing battle.

This site used to be a bashers santuary, a place where peoples voices of displeasure could be heard on the original movies being buried and other films preservations.

Now it is a fanedit board and prequel and special edition lovers hang out and most of the old members no longer post here and the preservation or trying to get the originals released in the best quality is now mostly dead.

It is as if those people from the offcial lucas site boards and tfn invaded and took over.

Its still Jay's site and he allows a multiplicity of views, people don't get banned for liking the prequels or special editions.  But after all this site is dedicated to the original star wars trilogy from 1977-1983 or it would be specialeditions.com or prequeltrilogylovers.com or such place.

Now it has become the place to get better special editions than george lucas is capable of producing instead of a petition to get the originals restored on dvd or blu ray.  Even the X0 project has had no updates since 2006.

Well i've been told by people on this board that star wars is no longer made for me because i am too old, they said the same thing in the star trek jj abrams thread.  I am only 30 years old.  If that is considered being too old these days then i say fuck those who only make films for the teeny bopper crowd.  My Likes and interests have not changed.  People saying " oh you grew up and star wars is still the same" is bullshit star wars and george lucas changed.  I still can watch the original films and i enjoy them as well as i did when i was 9 years old. 

I wish people would cut the crap with trying to make up bad excuses for why the originals sucked and why the prequels are so much better, when they clealry are inferior films to all but the blind.
