I've been reading through a lot of the old threads, and it's clear not everyone's coming from the same place. Some love the PT, some don't. Some just prefer the OT, some won't take anything else. Some hate George, some are just disappointed that Star Wars has moved on. Some love the edits, some think they're preposterous.
But everyone here knew Star Wars as it once was, and whether or not they love the new stuff and re-done stuff, EVERYONE loved the old stuff. I haven't been around a crowd who really appreciates and remembers what it once was in a while, or a crowd who cares so much.
Shout out to the the web host, the DVD guys, the cover art guys, the star wars philosophers, the minutiae-ists, the argumentative types, the purists, the optimists, the collectors, the experts, and the simple enthusiasts. You have brought back a part of me I didn't realize I'd lost; the part that watched episode 4 every week for two years growing up and stayed up at night marvelling at the psychology of Threepio.
To everyone here, thank you.
