Another thing I don't appreciate is all the prequel trilogy-haters stating their opinions as if they're fact. They hardly ever say "in my opinion..."

Step lightly, 37.   You'll get more rope than we would on your board, but there is a limit.  Careful with the accusations as well.

They are utterly mind-blowingly fantastic films.

Quite right, Anchorhead. I've made the point before, but it's simply weak phrasing to say "in my opinion" or "I think," when expressing an opinion. It's useful if one really needs to make clear something is opinion or to express doubt about one's position on something (I think his car is blue), but in general it's an unnecessary disclaimer, I think. See how silly that is!

Also, people are right about the openness of this site. There are members here who don't hate the PT, and some who even like it. Most of us recognize the serious flaws but most focus is on appreciation of the OT. Except for those Ewok-haters. Ewoks are awesome! In my opinion, because you know, maybe they're not awesome but I only think they are.
