Thanks for having my back. I just want to clarify, though, that I never gave The Clone Wars (film) a chance because I haven't seen it. I have, however, watched a couple of episodes of the series and enjoyed what I've seen. Not enough to devoutly follow it, but if I catch it on TV, I won't automatically change the channel. Just wanted to get that straight. ^_^

I think nearly all Star Wars fans gave the prequels a chance. Remember, this board is originaltrilogy.com, not prequelhaters.com. The main thing that got us together was the irritation at the treatment of the original versions of the original trilogy. I first found this place in 2004 because of the then new DVDs that I'd heard were going to have even more unnecessary and disrespectful changes. I hate the special editions, not the prequels. The thing is that OT purist and PT hater often go hand in hand. That is, people who have one trait often have the other. I don't hate the PT. I probably watch that trilogy a couple of times a year at least. Not as often as the OT, but I often follow the OT with the PT. I don't hate the prequels. I don't think they're wonderful, but I don't hate them. I resent them more than anything because of what they've done to Star Wars as a whole and how they overshadow and cast their mark on the original trilogy. They contribute to the alterations of the original films (in 2004), and they're also treated much better than the others. Therefore they earn my ire.
