I don't see anything wrong with the TFN comments.  For someone into the "saga", I would have to agree that ROTJ pretty well wrapped it up.  I'm just not into the "saga", and I think that SW is more enjoyable and more timeless as a standalone movie about Luke.  The other movies being fun afterthoughts.  If I were into the "saga" of it all, I'd probably feel as they do.

I completely agree. I don't see anything in the comments that were posted that make the TFNers seem crazy. They just like a few bad movies.

You guys are misunderstanding why I posted these comments.  For years and years they have talked down to people like me who said that Lucas's grand vision was never 6 movies, as he was making it up all along.  Darth Vader was never Lukes father in 1977, Leia wasn't Lukes brother til 1983, etc.....

I remember arguing with someone on TFN in 2005 about how Episode IV: A New Hope wasn't inserted until 1981 movie release.  He said, "That's baloney, the Saga has always been 6 movies  about the Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker since 1977 and must be watched 1-6 so deal with it!"

The irony now is that THEY are the ones who are saying the same things to people like me (They wont recognize the ST the same way we didn't recognize the PT), and has proven my point that Lucas has been making this shit up since day one.  First it was a standalone movie in 1977, then 9 or 12 episodes in the early 80's, then 6 episodes in the 1990's, and now back to 9 episodes in 2013.

The point is they believed Lucas all these years, and they screamed at us for only seeing the saga as the OOT (3 movies), and now they are doing the same thing only recognizing 6 movies.  We are all smart enough to not take Lucas at his word, they have yet to grasp that concept.
