OB1 Wrote:I'll tell you exactly why people hate the prequels:
1) Every idiot thinks they're a movie critic now, and when they see a movie that does not conform to their misguided standards, the "norm" that they are used to (i.e. most trash that people like nowadays), they reject it and call it crap.
2) The prequels don't feel just like the OT--they have a great feeling of their own. People hate change, especially when it's not necessarily an improvement, but rather just a change.
3) Too much hype, coupled with #1 & 2.
Lucas never hyped the movies, The people hyped it on themselves and put to high expectations, Then they stab Lucas in the heart with bashing and very sharp insulting words, Called "him a greedy rich theif and a liar" its absolutely outstanding.Then they insult him by saying he is a retarded fool with no talent try too claim ESB and ROTJ were sucessful because they were not directed by him and not his work. One said Lucas was a liar for saying the original A new hope was stand alone film and greed was his motivation for sequeils and prequeils ,When Lucas started the idea he had always intended the goal of making more then one movie he had spent 3 years of his life researhing,reading and brain storming trying to piece together ideas for the stories, he didnt know that the first film was gonna be a sucess so he planed for the worsed, ESB and ROTJ was all his ideas and writing,Guess what so was Indiana jones it waisnt speilberg who came up with the idea originaly.
I cant understand the hostility of those anti star wars fan wankers to the special edition and dvd releases,They have their damn VHS tapes why do they keep bitchin about the changes in the films?They bitch and whine at each other some like this others hate this, Some dislike the Yoda vs Dooku scene and seem to want to make sure everyone agrees with them and nobody has free will to decide for themselves.
I think most people who say PM and AOTC suck are just following peer pressure and conforming to the status quo.
People who have profound hatred of the prequeils and bash Lucas himself for the above reasons , Are not real true star wars it doesnt matter if they like the OT , A real SW Hardcore fan will watch both the best and worse of star wars not bash and redicule those who like things they dont. Disrespecting the creator is a sign of a false fan , How can you say you love starwars but despise the man who brought it into existence because you dont like his later installments.
Your free to say you didnt think the prequeils were good as the originasl but dont go like a wanker and try to make sure nobody else is allowed to enjoy it.
