Anyone else remember this? In the 80s, you could like Van Halen, Michael Jackson, pretty much anything but Star Wars without getting ridiculed by the preps, jocks, popular kids, etc. It seems to me that people are retconning culture to say that the Star Wars movies were always universally beloved until the Special Edition and the prequels. I remember people saying "YOU LIKE STAR WARRRRS!!!!????" And let's not forget all the "never been with a girl" and "living in your mother's basement" jokes directed at Star Wars fans in the media, PRE-Special Edition.
