Because there are a lot of individuals who will say IV-VI are incredible, masterful and flawless and then talk about how cheesy, terribly acted and inconsistent the PT is, but in all honesty, the acting in ANY of the SW films was never it's strong point, cannon is just always being retconned, and they're incredibly cheesy - people take their love of the original universe created and blow it out of proportion. Star Wars is in original and very rich story - one like never seen before - but some people (it's a small group, but it exists) will call the OT flawless and the PT nothing BUT flawed, simply because the "OT" is the "original" trilogy.

Ah, sorry, I thought you were referring to the "refuting" of ANY discontinuity in the Star Wars series, not just the new ones... so yea, my question was obviously how someone criticizing the retcons in ESB and ROTJ is an "elitist" if he just points out what is there... guess I was wrong :DDD

I'm only going to address the point I didn't cover in my other post:

I'm saying it's stupid to say the PT and CW retcon and not acknowledge the retconning ESB and ROTJ did... The biggest being Darth Vader being Luke's father...

Ah, then agreed. Although not sure if you can use the term "elitist"... I prefer the good ol' Fan Dumb ;)

I'm not sure I have that much of a problem with that one, though... Leia being his sister is much, much more problematic, so that means Vader can't be the "biggest" anymore ;)
