 if you wish to dislike the OOT, that's ok.

I don't dislike it, I dislike what it has become.  It's just not magical for me anymore.  George should have quit  when he was ahead and left the fans wanting more, but he's not like that. He's the opposite.  He's spent decades milking that same story. Not the universe it took place in - but that same fucking story.  It's no wonder the fanbase is so fragmented these days. He has absolutely no concept of the phrase less is more.

It seems to me you are contradicting yourself.  First you say George should have quit while he was ahead.   Then you complain that he spent decades miking that same story.    If he had quit while he was ahead, that same story is all you'd have.    I also wondering if you don't understand what I mean when I say OOT.   I mean the original Star Wars trilogy as it was originally seen, not what Lucas did to it years later.     I don't understand not liking the OOT for what it has become.   The OOT itself, hasn't become anything.   By definition, it is what it was when the movies were originally made.     I also don't understand why you like the NPR when it contains the things you claim to not like anymore(the force,  the darkside, a Jedi Master(Yoda), The Empire).
