We love George Lucase! We hate George Lucas! -- We've made him what he is today. But he's made us what we are today. -- BATMAN: "I'm going to kill you!" JOKER: "You idiot! You made me. You dropped me into that vat of chemicals." BATMAN: "You killed my parents." JOKER: "Hey, I was a kid when I killed your parents." BATMAN: "I made you? You made me first."
Fans will be fans. One thing about them is theyre always different even if it pertains to the same thing. Some respect the work and the artists while some just feel that their dedication to the work makes them entitled to something. Speaking for myself I wouldnt know what kind of fan to call myself. On one hand I love SW and respect George Lucas for creating it. On one hand I still find it unfortunate he didn't want the original cuts to exist anymore because to me thats rewriting history which is wrong no matter who were talking about. However I refuse to be the kind of fan who says 'Lucas raped my childhood'. Thats just arrogant and disgusting. As far as Daisy Ridley goes I love her and think she will carry the next couple films very well!
We failed in our existence when we were cursed with the technology to invent such horrible mind-rotting catastrophes! The Star Wars Special Editions! The Disney Blu-rays! We were better off in the analogue days! I wish we were still using video tapes and proper film!
I watch ALL versions of Star Wars to this day. I LOVE my Laserdisc versions best but I don't let what the fandom says about any of them ruin it for me. I cannot control the fans, George Lucas, or Disney but I can control what I own and enjoy.
Regarding George Lucas: Well, I honestly have to say that I dislike Episodes 1 to 3 that greatly, that I am not unhappy with him not being involved in Episode 7. I really like Ep. 7 (and never would have judged the fact that one of the the leading roles is a female one), but that is just my personal opinion, I really can understand different ones.. well except the one that it is a bad thing that Daisy Ridley is a woman...
Regarding Jake Lloyd: It is a sad thing that many people cannot distinguish between an actor, and the role they play in a movie/series. Exspecially with child actor's that attitude is greatly dangerous...
They're ungrateful jerks! They turned Jake Lloyd into a schizophrenic, and they drove George away from Star Wars! And they bash Daisy Ridley for being a woman! They inspire active anger and pain in me, which is why I'm so misanthropic!
And that's not even mentioning the fascist scum of the universe taking over. I'm beginning to think this guy I know was right - Lucas didn't ruin Star Wars, the fans did.
Yeah some users were getting vulgar. It started when someone was arguing how CGI is more 'real' compared to practical or something, then he called someone a retard, and it just went downhill from there. The thread was locked at one point. And yes adywan at one point said he was leaving but hopefully he'll return.
*drunk one evening 25 years from now* Dude, what if I put the cat in the DNA player?! *giggling and general jackassery* *3 minutes later* TV:"Bow before your MAAARHSTER" Friend: "I don't want to do this anymore. This got too real too fast."
"You're tuned to K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s. That was Blue Swede with their defining musical release "Hooked On a Feeling". Our velvet sweat playlist doesn't stop until the vinyl melts. And we now continue with a top of the heap hit "I gotcha" by Joe Tex"
*radio sounding through the room* "K-Billy's Super Sounds of the '70s continues, and if you're the twelfth caller, you'll win two tickets to the Monster Truck Extravaganza being held tonight at the Carson Fairgrounds, featuring Big Daddy Don Bodine's truck The Behemoth."
*radio kicks in* "That was The Partridge Family's "Doesn't Somebody Want to be Wanted?", followed by Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows where my Rosemary Goes" as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's weekend just keeps on... truckin'. "
