The lengths Lucas apologists will go to. And of course the quotes I provided from Lucas's speech to Congress were dismissed as not applying to him or his films. Because, you know... reasons. I just find it so amusing how threatened apologists are just because we don't share their opinion, and how they feel compelled to try to shut anyone down who doesn't toe the line. It's just so... creepy.
The sad thing is that a SW argument is the same as arguing with someone about politics, world affairs, sports, etc. People don't want to hear other opinions, and it is next to impossible to convice someone of your views.
I used to argue politics years ago, and then realized that I was wasting my time. The same goes with a SW argument, can anyone find someone on the internet say, "You know what, thats a good point, I may reconsider my stance on this." No, every argument ends up in vulgar insults, and then some one liner like, "Get over yourself, George Lucas didn't rape your childhood!"
Its not even worth it to waste your time trying to give your side of the argument about the OOT. If they don't want to listen, they are never going to agree with you. Just look at the republicans and democrats in Washington, the argument is finished before the first debate even starts!
I saw a quote once and it is kind of mean, but pretty true about arguing on the internet, "Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics. Even if you win, you're still a retard."
Mean spirited, but pretty true!
