A "real" fan of something is anyone that spends any of their time and/or money on a given thing. Someone that only likes the OT isn't any less of a fan than someone that sucks up everything Star Wars. I enjoy all six films and a large part of the EU, and I consider myself part of the entire Star Was fandom. And you know what? That fandom is a shit load of people that includes everyone from the casual fan to the fanatic. So you can stuff you "real" fan attitude up your "real" fan ass.
