Damn, didn't mean to piss off so many people. In the past five seconds I've read that I don't love Star Wars, I am a troll, a former poster, and that I haven't read enough; though that last one is probably true.
What I meant to say was, my first impression of the forum has been people complaining. Every thread has just been "George Lucas takes a dump on Star Wars fans" or "What pissed you off most about Blu-Ray release and any SE?"
To answer your question one look in the "Preservation" section would answer your question. Labors of love such as this this and this certainly prove dedication to the movies if nothing else. Hell, even the fanedit section would prove you wrong! Adywan has, for instance, actually built new models to use for his Revisited edits - ILM '80s style.
The General Discussion forum is a place of lots of bitching and moaning on a regular basis. There's definitely plenty of complaining over here (and I promise not to single anyone out) but the saving grace is that you can also find plenty of well-thought out criticism. Or, once every blue moon, somebody says something nice about the movies/extended universe and puts it in a new light most of us probably hadn't previously considered.
That said, welcome to the forum and may you read this before swearing us off.
