I've been reading for quite a few years now and the tone hasn't change; if anything it's more light hearted nowadays.

I would agree. We accepted that we're not going to get the original films and have moved on to discussing the best way to make our own, as well as the preservation of the true history of the film (not the constantly changing Lucas version).

Along the way we're at times more than vocal about Lucas' lying, his business practices, his ego, and his shortcomings. TFNers, BRers and FBers don't care for that but that's not our problem. We're not criticizing him unfairly or untruthfully. Our tone is the same as it's always been - we want three films that he won't release, so we discuss the situation.

Part of that situation includes discussing what Lucas chooses to release in place of the original theatrical versions, which has much more often than not, been sub-standard and explained with lies. As Frink mentioned earlier, if Lucas claimed a release was exactly the way he wanted it and that the added CGI scenes & color changes were creative decisions, then why are those "creative decisions" being corrected - yet again? Criticizing Lucas' ever-changing Original Vision is valid.
