While I'll admit, we're obsessive (it's why we're here) I'm getting tired of the "Star Wars was always for little kids" crap I hear in the media and from GL.
I bet Lucas doesn't say "Hey look at my little kids version of the Oscars!" In 1977 Star Wars was still escapist fantasy but it was considered the best of it's kind.
I wonder if Woody Allen went crazy(er) and started mucking with Annie Hall every few years if we'd be hearing this "get a life" thing.
I can accept "Get over it. It's just a movie." But instead we get "Get over it. It's just Star Wars."
In answer to the question? Star Wars stops being fun every time this nonsense comes up. It starts being fun again every time I can watch the movies.
This.
To address Frink and Anchorhead: I certainly wasn't surprised by the fact there were changes. The changes were not what I expected and they sucked and I have and will gripe about them, but I knew going into the Blu-Ray hype that we'd be getting yet another dose of the "same-ol', same-ol'" that we've been getting since 1977. Perhaps this expectation of nothing new is why I'm less disappointed than some of the others here.
I still love every minute of my Star Wars fandom, though.
