Well i guess your right about the person who coined it probably was a poster on aicn or something.
They go from loving the prequels to hating them at the drop of a hat. They go from dissing th new trek film to sounding like studio plants practically overnight because they got to go to the premeire.
I am not naming names but that guy is so fake he will recant anything he says to stay in the good graces of hollywood.
But when he bitched and whined about not being able to post an early bad review of clone wars he acted like a child.
A Trekkie created the George Lucas raped our childhood saying. Who also happens to be one of the team member of trekmovie.com and a previous writer for cinescape magazine. Also directed free enterprise.
Well it was not exactly George Lucas raped our childhood i think some aicn twerp came up with that phrasing it was Altman going to press screening of star wars special edition with a friend who was overheard saying "Its like watching 2 hours of your childhood being raped"
It is hard to believe the guy who created Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker also created ewoks and Jar Jar, Hayden Vader and the wooden romance of padme and anakin.
For those who are not aware Lucas did not write the love scene dialogue in Raiders or empire that was Kasden. However he did write the dialogue in attack of the clones and revenge of the sith.
The snappy and witty lines of a new hope were written by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz. The Weakness of Jedi comes from Lucas.
Kasden merely did a quick rewrite to help Lucas but was not really involved in crafting the story.
George did not listen to him anyway. Kasden thought Han Solo needed to die, so did Harrison Ford. A second death star was lame and that the ewoks were too kiddie.
I personally agree with Lucas that killing Han off would be a mistake. And that the ewoks can be given a pass if you look at star wars as a fairy tale for children. Empire was too adult like and then jedi was like a childrens cartoon in comparison.
The day TFN has a turning point is when they can review films and books objectively and not worry about angering the grey bearded one. I bet he does not even read his own site much less theirs.
They are biased for Lucas in a way, you would claim that originaltrilogy.com is against Lucas. But that groups everyone as having the same views and not treating them as individuals.
I don't Parrot things or follow a bandwagon mentality i thought the special editions were awful when everyone thought they were great. I hated Indy 4 when i first saw it not after reading the reviews, I hated the prequels after seeing their awfulness in theaters i did not need someone to tell me they sucked.
I love the original trilogy for indy and for star wars and not because someone else said to, i would like them even if they made ten cents.
