[QUOTE="Some guy from Ohio, post: 98802, member: 954"] Wolfspider, On reflection, you are absolutely correct and it is not a nice thing to do. Please consider the document destroyed. I was stumbling across a lot of anti-EP II posts at the time and I suppose I did want something to perhaps hit back with later, because I felt people had made up their mind before even seeing the product. Of course, this is their prerogative and I should have accepted that. You have my apologies for being the first and only person I sprung this on. You certainly deserve too and I apologize for any bad feelings I may have created. One of the things that separates these boards from others (the forcenet.com comes to mind), is the fact that you can have a different opinion without getting flamed with nothing but rants and profanities. I commend you even though much of this thread was starting to look like Wolfspider attack at times. I have to preface this with the knowledge that the original Star Wars (EP IV A New Hope) was almost a religious experience for me when I was ten years old and first saw it. I am a huge fan of the original trilogy and I suppose that it helped shape me into the fantasy, sci-fi geek I am today. I impatiently waited for 20 years on EP I and I was a bit disappointed for the various reasons others before me have sited. I also don't think George Lucas "raped my childhood" with the weak movie. All of them have faults, but we have 20 years of growing up with them so they have become infallible in many peoples eyes. My Star Wars experience seems to be much like your Tolkiens as far as shaping my life substantially. Now the EP II trailer. The most grating thing for me was what appeared to be the stiff acting and cheesy dialogue, but I let this slide because the original trilogy is full of the same stuff. There is not enough to accurately criticize any story elements beyond the great war and I have high hopes for that. What I was left with was Jango Fett blasting away at Obi-wan, armies of clone troopers on a chaotic battlefield, early walkers and star destroyers, Anakin fighting with two lightsabres, and Mace Windu getting medieval. What’s not to like? Now if I come back and say that the movie is no good, then please feel free to flame me, but no one will be more disappointed than me…. All I can say is I hope you do go. I would enjoy discussing the movie with you. I am the one with too much Star Wars baggage, but when I do go and If I have fun, it is a good movie in my eyes. [/QUOTE]
