It's good to be passionate and all that, but I think you're letting the mere existence of the new stuff get mixed in with the actual problem which is the OT. Understandable since this is a uniquely stupid situation, so the proper reaction to it is not always going to be obvious.But if the original 3 movies are ever available to you as they were opening day, you'd be surprised how easy it is to forget anything else happened after. I didn't think of Mario Van Peebles even once during JAWS the other day. Also, even in 1978, Chewbacca's father jacked off to Dianne Carroll. So, you know, there's that.
