I recently wrote an article on my blog about Star Wars and the petition. It can be viewed here:
Nice article and you were able to write it without the kind of fanboy rage i would have channeled when writing it, if only it was just a movie, to my generation star wars was a defining moment in childhood.
The Prequel generation does not have that kind of love or dedication that oot fans did. Which started even before there was vhs.
All fans had in the beginning were super8mm versions, the vinyl story of album, or the comic books or novelization to re-enjoy the film.
