I would have walked up to him to try to start a conversation, and then I saw the book that he was carrying.

could be worse, he coulda been drawing a picture of anakin and padme holding hands :(

you shoulda talked to him.

if the kid honestly likes the PT, no harm no foul; welcome to The Once Proud Saga Formerly Known as Star Wars. But if he is a PT apologist, and he just spouts TFN/LFL talking points, and claims Lucas is a transcendental genius whose true peers are Da Vinci, Plato, Einstein, Gandhi and all the haters don't get it -then that an entirely different matter.

And really thats the difference - on the internet, I've really only come across one first-generation person outside of TFN (on hometheaterforum) that genuinely enjoyed the PT. he would actually give examples of what he liked and not make excuses for what was missing or contradicting the OT. and he loves the OT. it was a real eye-opener when he said he wouldn't buy the blu ray because of the ROTJ change.

If he was an apologist, he would have a line-by-line reply to every single criticsm with the following talking points:

"its supposed to be like the serials"

"lucas says star wars is a silent movie"

"its supposed to be like a japanese movie"

"its suppose to be a poem"

...and if all else failed, they would desperately try to find something similiar in the OT and say "how come nobody criticizes this?". The most common example, of course, is the "Toshi Station..power converters" line. whats hilarious is 99 times out of 100, this is the ONLY line of dialog they use. TPM has pages upon pages of bad dialog and apologists can only find this one line.

As I said before, IMO the real danger is not kids enjoying the PT, but kids convincing themselves to like the PT because they are brainwashed by going to TFN or swallowing all of Lucas' BS.
