Yes, and there are also other guys insisting how awesome Qui-Gon Jinn was and that makes the movie as good as ROTJ.

It's just their opinion. How is that related to what I said?

Because my point was that this community isn't made of prequel haters, and the people I mentioned are the example that prove it?

And the first page of this sub-forum shows they are largely present here.

Unfortunately some members can't help it

Well it's just their opinion, isn't it? So quit complaining.

It may be their opinion that they are bad movies, but saying other people posts are excuses just because they think the PT are bad movies is fallacious.

So quit complaining.

What?

I think if anything, this list http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Okay-who-actually-HATES-the-Prequels/topic/13111/ shows that 2/4 is right and that there are fewer "rabid haters" here than "don't like it, but don't hate it" types.

Or at least in equal number.  True- there aren't a lot of gushers here, yourself excluded... but the site is called "OriginalTrilogy" and seems to not attact people who are PT or "saga" minded.

I googled "prequeltrilogy.com" just now and got zero suitable hits.  I don't get it - you can't get the theatrical version of the prequels, right?  Why isn't everyone up in arms over that?

I mean, other than the fact that the prequels suck.

Niiiiiiice.

I guess we need to snag it and turn it into a... *ahem*... suitable site.

I never said haters were the majority.

Well, I think this site is focused on the restoration of the OOT, not on disliking the PT. The fact that I (and certainly others) like or don't mind the PT and the SE, doesn't mean we don't want the OOT to be properly restored and released.

Well, of course not.  No one's saying that.  But there does tend to be a correlation between the older fans or the proponents of those wanting the OT restored and people who don't like the PT.  It's just much more likely that people who want the original trilogy preserved are the same types of people who don't buy into the "saga" or the "prequels," or at least much more so than the other way around.  Add to that the fact that this is one of the few Star Wars places where people are actually allowed to criticize the prequels, and, yeah, you end up with, well, for lack of a better term, a basher's sanctuary.  But that doesn't mean that it's the purpose of the site or a requirement.  It's just the way it works out.

That may be. But certain behaviours are as strange (and/or extreme) as the ones who get criticized around here. That's why I asked:

Alexrd said: Why would someone who hates the prequels, go to TF.N, specifically to the PT forum, and see how some users comment about those films?

skyjedi will probably never answer this, but this kind of attitude just seems a bit hipocritical to me.

Oh, I'm sorry.  I must have misunderstood.

What was your point then?  I took this:

As some form of "most people here are just bashers and all they do is bash".

This is what OT.COM users are missing out on.

It's a George's 'special' celebration for OUT fans.

Are you saying that we, by turing 30 (or 20, if you're more bookish) have outlived our usefulness (youthfulness?) to Uncle George and he's having us... done in?

TV's Frink said: To answer your question of why someone would go to TF.N in that case - some people just like to bitch.  Or argue.  Or depress themselves.

It makes me remember what someone said (coincidentally on TF.N):

Pendulous Dewlap said: I've seen TPM perhaps 40 times, and I have to say, it's one of the worst films ever made.

I guess this kind of people are everywhere.

Well, alright.  When do I show up and do I put this creepy robe on before or just when I get there?

Actually, it turns out that some of my confusion is based on the fact that you are not Darth Bizarro.  (You're not, right?)  Since you replied to 2/4's comment to him.

So... there you have it.

I don't know because I never visit TFN.  I agree that there are some extreme people here, but I also think it's just a few.  That's true for any open forum.

No, I'm not Darth Bizarro. I don't recall replying to a comment not directed to me. Which one was it?
