I love the UNCHANGED OT, hate the 1997 and 2005 Special Editions, hate the "fans" who prefer the changes. I tolerate the prequels, and hate the fans who love them. I tolerate the sequels and hate the fans who love them. I hate the fans who tear down the OT to prop up the prequels and sequels.

When I had to vote on this, I had to come to terms with my ever-evolving perspective on SW. I've always loved the OT and that has never changed. When I first watched the PT in theaters, I hated TPM and AOTC and thought ROTS was a mishmash of greatness and failure. Many years later, I tolerate TPM (due to its many positive moments), I like AOTC and I absolutely love ROTS. Overall, I love the PT now. When I first viewed TFA for the first 40 times, I loved it. I believed it was a given that TLJ and Ep. IX would pay it off. I mean, why you would you ever make a movie chock-full of interesting plot mysteries with no intention of resolving them in interesting ways? Why would a huge property ever allow something like this? So I thought there was no chance in the world there weren't good answers to these questions. And then the mess that was TLJ happened, retroactively destroying TFA in retrospect and proving my belief was naive. As a whole, the ST is extremely disappointing. Is there a chance for retribution like how ROTS, in time, helped save the PT in my head? Yes, but it's slim. It's ALL about the story for me. So far the ST's story as a whole is garbage, and unless Ep. IX can acrobatically evolve the story as a whole, then the ST will remain garbage. that you are a little slow to appreciate things is an understatement. I loved the PT since the beginning, jar jar and all. Maybe if guys like you had more appreciation for what was being done at the time Lucas wouldn't have to sell and kept making movies, but alas they "flopped" and now you are stuck with Disney. This is almost poetic. You're just not going to leave me alone are you? Last chance. I put up with your little tirades telling me (and others) to fuck myself, etc. I ignored private requests from other users to report you since they were having similar problems with you. I'm a live and let live kind of person, so I've never had any inclination to do anything silly like "report" someone. But the fact that I have consistently ignored you for weeks, told you that I was putting you on ignore and yet you obviously can't handle this rejection and have continued to reply to my comments and have even continued to openly mock me for ignoring you is starting to test even my patience and sympathies. So...you can amicably go on about your business and stop harassing me, or I will start reporting you. Your choice. I hope you'll do the wise thing and go bug someone else. |

This is an open forum, haven't done anything wrong except disagree with you or anybody else. Like a child you ignore, then threat. What's next? I still think you're a disgrace to the fandom. So report away lol you think I give a crap? Well I don't. I give a crap for sw and you and your ilk are the worst aspect of it. Bye bye! |

I definitely love the original trilogy, one of the best trilogies of all-time. I guess I tolerate the prequel trilogy, mainly because of Revenge of the Sith. I can't really answer about the sequel trilogy until I've seen episode 9, but I do really enjoy them. It doesn't have a masterpiece in the way the OT has Empire. I do feel the ST is the most all over the place of all the SW trilogies so far so episode 9 does need to bring all the storylines together in a satisfying way for me to say the ST is a success as a whole. So far I don't like it as much as the original trilogy, but I do like it a lot more than the prequels. My ratings for all the movies:
OT
Star Wars - 10/10
Empire Strikes Back - 10/10
Return of the Jedi - 8/10 or 9/10
PT
The Phantom Menace - 4/10
Attack of the Clones - 5/10
Revenge of the Sith - 7/10 or 8/10
ST
The Force Awakens - 8/10 or 9/10
The Last Jedi - 9/10

Maybe you think coming here every day and insulting those of the SW fanbase who are voicing disappointment or discussing certain criticisms is going to drive them out of the fanbase. Maybe you consider yourself some kind of fanbase judge, jury and executioner. Some self-appointed protector of its sanctity that will slowly break our spirit and hasten our departure. I have bad news for you. It's not working! And it's not going to work! Most of the people you're firing verbal missiles at have been in the fanbase as long as you, some longer. Some of them were once twice as positively passionate about SW as you. Some of them know 10 times as much about SW as you. Take a look at the activity and posting history of your targets. You're objective is failing. Take a look at the box office drop off of TLJ over the last week. Take a look at social media and forums still voicing criticism from the more veteran fanbase. Take a look at the theatre showing drop off. Please keep it up though. Seeing your futility unfold is entertaining. To meme a quote from the Emperor "Young fool! Only now at the end do you understand. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of this forum!" |

Uh, you didn't have to waste your time writing all of that, when there's really only 2 types of Star Wars fan.
The true fans (Love OT Love PT Hate ST) or the non true fans (pretty much any other option).

OT = Original Trilogy, PT = Prequel Trilogy, and ST = Star Trek? ST = Safe (or Subpar) Trilogy |

The true fans (Love OT Love PT Hate ST) or the non true fans (pretty much any other option). Na, I don't think so - and that's what makes this such fun. You've got the "true believers' - Love OT Hate everything else, the group you mentioned, the "eternal optimists" who're going to love it all, no matter what. And then you've got the group that I find most interesting - Love OT, Tolerate PT, Hate ST. I'd love to know how many of these chaps were "true believers" who have re-evaluted their opinion of the prequels purely due to the disaster thus far of the ST... |
