I read the first 10 posts, and logged off for good. I wish they would just put a disclaimer, if you have anything negative to say about the PT, please do not sign up. Atleast they would be honest about it then.

The one thing that was so hypocritical was when the mods would post and start talking trash about the fans, and it was always a shot at OT fans. There was one mod on the CT page name Twilek who posted, "You the older fans are getting what you asked for, you wanted original versions you got, now stop complaining!"

So I PM'd him and asked him that isn't against the rules to talk about the fans? I told him he was a mod, and if he did it, why wouldn't everyone else just join in? Then I said, we are not getting the original version of SW, cause they are taking it from the 1993 version which had Episode IV crawl in it, and that wasn't there in '77.

He gave me so lame response that he could have said alot worse things, and he didn't break any rules about talking about the fans. I responded back and said, "But you said for all the older fans........ The last time I checked my vocabulary, fans meant fans."

To me that exchange sums up theforce.net. I often wonder if they are all secretly working at Lucasranch.


They wish they were working at Lucas Ranch, that's the thing with the koolaid crowd. Blind devotion to a toy driven merchandising marekting machine. It was so much easier back in the day when all we had were the movies.

Such familiar names, I was cjedi72, and didn't know the sanctuary existed, and started arguing with fans who thought TPM was better than the original SW, so I got banned. When I was released from jail, I moderated myself around the PT gushers, and hung out in the sanctuary, cause that was the only place you could post an opinion without getting warned of baiting.

TF.net is a pathetic website, and when they closed the sanctuary, and started that new thread today, I bolted for good. When you have a website with threads like, "The Phantom Masterpiece" and "Is ANH meh?" I started to question if these are the same movies we are all watching?

Then I forgot, they only watch the SE!

The site is 99% fanboys who defend the PT even knowing that they aren't as great as they say. I have talked to many fans there through PM's, and when I talked 'off the record' they admitted that TPM & AOTC are not great, but they just couldn't say anything bad about the movies or the bashers would be right. It is like American Politics, they are all just towing the party line, but don't believe everything they say.

Welcome guys, I have been here a year, and everybody is on the same page about what our goals are. And we don't need to post that the Original Star Wars is a classic, and go chapter to chapter to say how much we love every scene and how it affected our lives.

We let the OT, excuse me, the O-OT speak for itself.

Hey I got into it pretty good with Dude4c on the Is New Hope Meh thread and I never got warned. I probably used too many big words so they didn't know any better. He never dared to step foot in our house though, the coward.

I forget which thread it was but I hypothetically asked if it was okay for Lucas to put the Road Runner and Coyote on tattoine if he claims it's his vision. I actually got a response of yes it's his right. Makes you wonder.

It all depends on the material too. I just recenlty got an LD of Something wicked This Way Comes in Leterbox LD and I zoomed it in. It ooks prett good compared to the DVD anamorphic I have. But When I zoom in some of my other LDs it can e pretty bad. My Ladyhawke DVD is non anamorphic and I have to zoom it in and it looks pretty bad in the first place, even worse zoomed in. So if the source is shit, you'll get shitis what I'm inclined to believe.

You gotta love this quote from Lucas...

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie."

Well I'm sorry to say Mr. Lucas, you're DEAD WRONG. In a hundred years the original versions will disappear? Not unless there have been changes in copyright/public domain laws.

To reiterate the comments of the original poster, is there perhaps a Paypal account where I can contribute to the X0 project?


In a hundred years, we won't be using outdated DVD technology.
