Considering all TFA discussion is confined to a handful of threads (one of which you started), it seems to me that if you’re so bothered by people’s reactions to that film, you can easily avoid them. I’m not pretending to be an old timer here myself, but my impression has always been that this place is about preserving and campaigning for the OOT, not relentlessly dumping on everything else. Hating everything since 1983 is not and has never been a requirement for membership.
You sir are correct, I need to avoid anything pre/post. Is there such a forum?
But why mindlessly avoid anything post? If you don’t like TFA that’s totally cool (personally I hate the prequels and try my best to avoid any mention of them in an attempt to purge them from memory) but what if Episode VIII turns out to be fantastic? Will you avoid it purely because it’s not part of the OT?
