What's the most heated Star Wars argument you've gotten into?

Ah, Star Wars day. The day the non-Star Wars people join in on the discussion. And that makes me think of arguments that can arise with so-called “Star Wars fans” (TFN type people)
What’s the craziest argument you’ve gotten into with someone about prequels, special editions or something of that sort(with someone who has a different perception of what SW is).
I’d like to make this just real-life face-to-face arguments, so no internet/forum arguments please.

Never had one. I’ve been socially isolated longer than I’ve cared enough about SW to argue about it, and none of my family members were/are even casual SW fans.

The most annoying Star Wars argument I had was an argument about the CGI of the Prequel Trilogy.

Now, I want to make an important premise: I’m NOT one of those people who bitches about the CGI in the Prequels. Yes, I think they should have used more practical effects and big sets instead of miniatures, but I still think the Prequel CGI looks great for its time, even though it didn’t age very well.

With that being said, the most annoying argument I had about this subject was an argument that I had some months ago with a dude on the internet. In summary, I said that they should have used more big sets instead of miniatures, and that casting more real actors for the Clones would have been a good idea. His reply? “The Clones are supposed to be equal and have the same proportions, therefore doing them in CGI was the only solution to make them look equal.”

That’s the dumbest argument I’ve ever seen in my life. I mean, the Clones are supposed to stay in the background. They just have to pretend to shoot laser rifles and eventually pretend to die. You don’t need to get great actors to do something like this, just get stunt people who are all the same height and proportions as the original actor who plays Jango Fett. You don’t need CGI at all, you just have to cast 40 or 50 people with the same proportions. Hell, you don’t even need to search for people who look similar to the original actor, because the Clones have their armor and helmet put on 90% of the time, so we don’t even see their face. Just use the original actor when there are Clones without the helmet, and that’s it. But no, creating the Clones by using CGI was the only way to do the Clones apparently.

I know you said no internet arguments, but I never discuss Star Wars with real people. So…

My favorite pro-Prequel argument is “But the Prequels have even more practical effect shots than the OT!” I mean, who cares about the concept of percentages?

This is the absolute DUMBEST argument I’ve ever seen about the Prequel Trilogy. Because nobody stops to think that’s just because there are more effects in those movies in general. Like saying Revenge of the Sith has more model sets than Citizen Kane; like c’mon.

When TLJ came out I told some old guy “idk I thought it was fine” and then his face turned red and he started crying and screaming “no! No! I’ve been a Star Wars fan since 1977! I KNOW Star Wars!! You’re wrong for liking Last Jedi. You’re WRONG!!”

I didn’t speak to him about Star Wars after that.
