Your Filoni obsession is starting to worry me though. ;)

Just take digs where I can. It's not so much him that bothers me - though he does appear to be a phony and, uh,....to not like women, let' say, but that's his business - it's the fact that (a) TCW has taken over SW and changed it in tone and in spirit, and (b) the fact that many of the jackasses at TFN act like they're good buddies with him and really giving him as much reverence as they give Lucas (that's no exaggeration). So there's a motive of (trying to) slay golden calfs.

When you get into an argument at TFN, and that whole hivemind there swarms on you - and NOBODY comes to your defense, no matter how well-reasoned your arguments or how polite you are - you really begin to bear down on whatever stance you take. So, like, back when TCW was released, I got in some big arguments about it with the TFN posters and they just swarmed on me with hate for my heresy and simply observing that it was a flop. I've kind of been intermittently obsessed with mocking Filoni and TCW since then.

But, in complete objectivity and seriousness, I do think it's very sad what's come of the SW brand, and I think creepy Filoni's dictums are largely (not entirely) to blame. I thought ROTS was fantastic, and had high hopes for the future. Instead....well....just look at it now.
