Has anybody been following this thing about the fan's reaction to Simon Pegg voicing Dengar in the Clone Wars.

The certain point of view guy is particularly infuriating.

This whole thing sounds pretty damn petty if you ask me.  Pegg is basically being ostracized from fandom by these ass hats just because he doesn't think the prequels are good movies. 

I've been saying for years that The Clone Wars is 10 times better than any of the prequels so I don't find it difficult to believe that Pegg might have some more respect for that show than the movies. 

It's this "true fan" elitism bull crap that really pisses me with the whole community. 

They do misuse the word "hypocrite" a lot, though that is a common mistake. The very little I've seen of the Clone Wars, they seem fun and well composed. It's too bad the PT is their bedrock. Pegg is allowed to think the PT is rubbish and still like the Clone Wars without being hypocritical.
