Optimist in me says that they aren't actually buying into it THAT much, they're just playing along because they're obsessive fans of the 'saga'. Of course I don't really know TF.n like some of you guys do.
No, they are indeed f***ing mental. Many of the members over there completely buy the revisionist crap that the SE's were Lucas' "true vision" and that the changes were all done because he didn't have the technology at the time to do the things he wanted. So it was impossible to have Greedo shoot first because of FX constraints?? Idiots.
I had to deal with all their type of crap when i did ANH:R. Death threats and threats of violence because i dared to "change Lucas' vision". I just can't believe how many buy into all this crap. They refuse to believe that vader being Lukes dad, leia being the sister etc was not his original intentions, even though there is video evidence of Lucas stating this was not the case from the 70's & 80's. I find it really strange just how blinkered some people can be.
Now, not everyone over at thefreakynutters (tfn) can be tarred with the same brush as i have seen many who can think for themselves and don't believe the rubbish, but they seem to get shot down pretty quick by the mindless zombies.
