May I just say that the contention on this board is getting ridiculous? I mean, I really enjoy Star Wars. But on the other hand, I have a job, a wife, three children, I will be going back to school soon, and I have ecclesiastical responsibilities. I enjoy other films, read books, spend time with friends, etc. As much as I love Star Wars, and I assure you it is no small love, I seem to be able to keep the perspective that it is...just a series of movies!
GET OUT THE TORCHES!!!
Also, let me add that I am a stickler for grammar and spelling. I certainly make errors too, but I almost always catch the multitudinous mistakes that so many who post here make. I think it is unwise to criticize others of sounding ignorant because of such mistakes, as I know many intelligent people who make language errors, there are patrons here whose first language is not English, and those who criticize make quite a few silly mistakes of their own.

Those ridiculed undeservedly,[no comma needed] smash their haters with a wall of logic, hidden sarcasm[comma IS needed] and witty repartée.
"The others just whine."
I feel like I'm picking on twooffour a lot, but I continue to notice that he often seems to be in the heat of these angry conversations. I wish that I could come here, read where I see a new post, and not have to sift through a bunch of worthless arguments over a fictional movie series that we all enjoy.
To keep things on topic, I look forward to to Blu-ray release, though I doubt I will be getting it right away. I'm thrilled about the deleted scenes, and I would not mind a high-definition release of the films, even if they are the SEs. Sure, they have many silly additions, but some things I do enjoy. And my opinion is just as valid as anyone else's.
