i'm sorry, but the original trilogy is not enough for me, i care

way too much about star wars, and i want MORE, more of the prequels,

more of the 'clone war's', more of everything related to star wars..

it gives me something to look forward too, instead of being stuck in

the past..

 The thing is we wanted more too--but not if they are going to SUCK. We all wanted the prequels, and what we got was not up to par. We care too much about Star Wars to lower our standards and accept crap (I mean, it was bad enough with ROTJ but every family has the red-headed step-child right?). Everyone likes more Star Wars, but some only want more Star Wars if its good, not if its bad, and not if its "eh, its alright I guess."

But yeah. Originaltrilogy.com dude, what do you expect. I'd rather have 2 really good movies (and one okay movie) than a steady stream of crap coming out all the time because I still watch those 3 older movies , they are so good that they have stood the test of time, just like everyone listens to the White Album even though they've heard it a million times over the last 40 years; what would be the point of the Beatles reforming in 1979 and churning out really bad music, or even just medicore music, when theres the White Album? People would have just ignored the new stuff and continued to revere and listen to the older stuff. I mean honestly, who the hell likes Wings these days anyway? Some devout fans do, of course, and its not like its all bad, but theres a reason why 90% of people continue to simply listen to the old stuff, and the same goes for Star Wars. The OT is among the most important filmic achievements of the 20th century and the PT really only amounts to a footnote to it.
