Cynicism rules the land

Well, this is a forum named Original Trilogy, so it would attract anyone who prefers the Original Unaltered Star Wars Trilogy, and as the creator of Star Wars is in conflict with this segment of fans, it is only natural for animosity to be the result.

That's true of course, but there are plenty of constructive ways to come together around the OT (see despecialized edition). And this whole Lucas-bashing is unbelievably old and dull. It's not a crime committed by everyone here, but it is pervasive nonetheless, and there seems to be moderation of the tone here.

It seems every time I come back here to check out the latest from the greatest, the level of aggression and cynicism has grown exponentially. I know it's the Internet, but aren't we here because we supposedly like this whole Star Wars thing?

Yeah, there're a lot of issues of contention in the world of Star Wars, but when one of the recent threads practically pleads with people to not say anything negative, what does that say about the general vibe around here?

Anyway, just an observation.

Well he's right, in that it is a lengthy book (and it does repeat itself sometimes).

It just seems like he isn't really that taken with the narrative of the story's development over the years, which personally, even though I think of myself as very well versed in the lore of it all, I thought was fantastic and very insightful, not to mention entertaining. And also he just doesn't seem to like the painstaking forensic approach Michael took, which to me is the very reason the book is so compelling.
