Sadly, George Lucas has bought into the internet bitching of a few, and lumped us altogether. Pretty sad if you ask me.
I just don't buy that. There are things he's said that I've never heard anyone say.
"Those fans want Star Wars to be like Terminator."
No one said this. All we asked for is that the same level of realism from ANH and ESB be maintained and cartoonish slapstick be kept to a bare minimum.
"Those fans want the prequels to be three movies of Darth Vader just killing people."
No one said this. All people wanted was to see Obi-Wan's line about Vader hunting down and destroying the Jedi depicted in some manner at some point. And George screwed it up by showing the Clone Troopers actually killing the Jedi and Vader murdering children when it should have been the other way around.
Now he's saying that people want Han to be a cold blooded killer when no one has said such a thing.
