You know what? I never blamed him in the first place. There is nothing to forgive.
The next time I see Star Wars, it will be the remastered versions. Because it doesn't fucking matter.

EXACTLY!
Hit the nail on the head with this article. I'll be e-mailing it to a bunch of my friends to read over. Doubt it will change there opinions but whatever, some people are just thick headed

To be honest, I never really had this problem, by the time I was old enough to appreciate the Star Wars films the prequels were just rolling out, so I don't really mind them, since I wasn't nostalgic about the original trilogy, same about Indiana Jones too.
Hell, I never watched all of Return of the Jedi until after the first prequel, I was poor so we only bought VHS tapes occasionally.

Ow Ow Ow, I don't know who that guy is but that comment made my brain owie, I'll have to read Page 2 some other time
I've gone over excessive hate against Lucas long ago and currently trying to stop hating on Twilight so much.
I think i'd rather spend my time obsessing over things i love and preach about the good words (and images, and sounds) than obsessing over things i hate.
That said, why don't you go and listen to some "The Human Equiation" by Ayreon while buying a bunch of Scott Pilgrim books before the movie releases and round out the evening with some Firefly or Summer Wars, an anime movie so good it comes close to Ghibli.
That would make a pretty awesome day...

Hm, good article. I am myself guilty at times of complaining too much about his dud Star Wars movies. I think what really did them in was the amount of hype/hope that surrounded the prequels, because almost every famous director has dud movies, yet we usually don't remember them for that. For that matter, even Lucas has dud films that no one rails at him for (Howard the Duck, anyone?).
Why do I have to forgive him? There's nothing to forgive. I actually liked the Star Wars Prequels and Indian Jones IV. *runs away before the flaming starts*
I think the theory there is that you can't be angry with God and not believe in Him at the same time. Or is it just the strangeness of the sentence that vortexed your brain?slowpoke999 said:
OT: Sure I'll forgive the little scamp! But only if I get to tug on his magic beard for luck.
Very well-written as always, Bob. Of course, not mentioning Crystal Skull is kind of a cop-out, but there's really no way to defend that...
To be honest, I liked all the films more or less.
except epsiode 3, the writeing in episode 3 was too weak in my opinion.
episode 1 was really good in my opinion, and episode 2 gave us another Fett so no worries there.
