Proud to be "Gay for Lucas" gushing thread

I would like to start this thread in order to create a safe haven for the "Gay for Lucas" types. I don't want this thread to be a place for argument or debate. If you are a "Gay for Lucas" type who would like to gush or otherwise praise Lucas' genius, GUSH AWAY. If you are a Lucas basher or you disagree with points made in the course of said gushing, please refrain from comment. This should not be a debate thread, as are so many threads lately. Since I do not worship or lust after Lucas, I will of course not be posting in this thread.

Sorry to hit below the belt dude, I know you don't want anyone bringing up those naked Lucas paintings. In the long run you'll appreciate it. You've got to come to grips with reality man; Lucas is a straight as an arrow heterosexual man, your man love will never be reciprocated. You've got to move on.


By the way, when the hell did MeBeJedi use "racial slurs"?

Gomer the point is that your intital assertion that the OT and the prequels were both highly criticized by the public is just not true. The handful of people who did not like the OT when it was released are just not comparable to the raging debates and polarization that have been present since the release of the prequels. If you didn't like the OT when it came out, you would have been a bit of a freak. That is not the case with the prequels; millions loved them and millions hated them.

Wow dude, you just don't understand how popular it was. Yes, it was universally embraced. Star Wars was the greatest thing in the world to just about every young kid in the 1970s/1980s. If your parents disliked the OT when they were kids, they would have been like outcast freaks in any neigborhood in America back then. Dude the OT took over American pop culture, nothing since has been as popular and widely embraced as it was. Those who did not like the OT back then would have been almost impossible to find. You can't understand how popular it was if you weren't there, nothing since then has had a comparable effect on pop cultutre.

I agree, it's a matter of taste. You've should know though, that in the 1980s EVERYONE loved Star Wars. That was before the whole OT/Prequel debate, and long before the OT DVD debate (most folks didn't even have vcrs in 1980). When I was young, I didn't here any of the criticism of Star Wars that you were exposed to when the Prequels were released. It may be hard for you to picture given the current climate and debates, but the whole damned world loved Star Wars! It was nice.

Hey Gomer, how about addressing the questions I asked you in my last post? It's your head that's in the sand, unless you truly belive that regular people reacted to the OT as Vincent Canby did. So how about it, are you willing to answer the questions, or do you prefer to reply strictly in cliche format. At least I dignify your ridiculous assertions with the truth. At lease answer this, did you ever here that critical nonsense from kids in your neighborhhod or their parents for that matter?

How old were you in 1980? If the answer is any less than 18 or so, your really insane. Were you reading reviews as a child? Quoting critics is about the worst example you could have given. Critics hated the films, EVERYONE else in the world loved them. Were you raised in the traditional fashion among the rest of the humans, or do you hail from a fantasy world where you were surrounded by critics and industry people. Did you hang out with Vincent Canby? If not, please attempt to find a better example.

Horse shit. I never heard a single person level such accusations against the OT when they were originally released. Did you grow up in France or something? They were incredible films, I'm not sure what brand of retard would have said such things back then. My guess is that this is an elaborate fantastical distortion of the past that you have manufactured in order to come to terms with you "Gay for Lucas" outlook.

It boggles my mind that you "Gay for Lucas" types are wasting your time here. You have visited the home page right? You do know that this entire site is dedicated to the preservation of the OT right? Stinky had a pretty good idea with that ship in the bottle thing, but I think an even better solution would be for Randi and Gomer Binks to start a "Gay for Lucas" site of their own. There you could frolic in the fields of Lucas' genius, and setup weekend marathons where you all get together to watch the six different versions of each film. You could also swap Jar Jar memorobilia and have contest to find how who loves George the most. That would be really cool, www.GayforLucas.com

Exactly Mike O, if the faneditors are a-holes, Lucas is the ultimate a-hole. These "Gay for Lucas" types completely disregard the actors, technicians, etc, etc.,etc. If it is wrong for a fan to edit out a sound or garbage matte, it is downright inexcusable to remove Robert Shaw from the film. The "Gay for Lucas" crowd gives him a pass that they would give no other filmmaker.
