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.

You got to link to some of those threads. I got to read those.

That place really became nutty during the lead up to Episode II. Everyone and everything had become hypersensitive because of Episode I.

People took up sides. The fanbase became polorized.

There were places to vent about Episode I, but the TFN forums and the forum over at the official site were not among them.
