    I want to generate some serious posting on people who love to hate Star Wars and the fans who love it. Personally, I feel that we, the Star Wars fans are under attack from the "Haters". These are fools who hide behind the internet and fire off insults to people they dont even know. I get people telling me about the Spiderman vs. Star Wars epII money making battle. I could care less how much the movies gross!!! I dont live for putting coin in George Lucas' pocket!! People need to chill out and let us have our fun. As a secondary topic,I would like to see some posts on who is everybody's favorite darksider. Hopefully it would be yours truly!!! :D

    if it makes you feel any better, i love star wars....=) loved it when i was a kid....love it still.....i think that people purposely just try to make fans angry....just to get a rise out of them. i noticed that people tend to think that only nerds watch star wars and love it. why? because of the science fiction? what is so wrong with loving star wars? nothing could make me stop liking it...so those lame ass people can say whatever they want to...

    although.....it does kind of make me angry...and want to hurt them badly when they do talk bad about star wars....i get the feeling of needing to argue some scence into them...

    arguing is only wasting time! just ignore them, and they will go away! i think that new comers into this site should be screened first, before beeing allowed to post... seriously!

    I myself have noticed an increasing amount of anti-Star Wars people. Over at the Spawn.com Sports Board, there was a post started to rag on AOTC for needing 4 days to amass more $$ than Spider-Man did in its opening 3 days. My question is: Who gives a rats'??? Sure, it is great to see the fans turn out, and the movie make money (Who doesn't want to see Titanic toppled??), BUT, is it really the end all, tell all on the quality of the movie?? Personally, I think AOTC was one of the greatest yet in the Star Wars saga. But, I tend to feel that way everytime I see a new Star Wars film. Truly, I do feel AOTC was one of the finest Star Wars films yet. My favorite movie in the saga up until AOTC was Empire Strikes Back. AOTC had the feel of ESB, but with so much more Jedi action. The media just needs to create a false sense of rivalry, and what better way than to pit 2 totally unrelated genres against one another?? Yay to Spidey for finally breaking the "Movies based on comics suck" curse, but it doesn't have anything at all to do with Star Wars or us, the fans of Star Wars.

    Favorite darksider?? Look at my avatar :D (Although it is a horrible version of him)

    I know!! That is so unbeliveably rude!! It's like anything else, I guess, if enough people like something, some people cant handle other people being happy and have to ruin it. I mean, I like Spidy fine and I'm a Star Wars Junkie - what's the problem???

    One other aspect of the hating that hasn't been mentioned here is the anti-costumers. Those of us who do decide to go to the Star Wars viewings in costume are constantly ridiculed by the press, non-fans, and general public as "losers", "freaks", "dorks", and "weirdos". Why the Hell do you concern yourself with people that aren't in any way, shape, or form affecting your life?? Why do you take the time and energy to point, stare, and sneer when you could just use that same energy to go about your business? I see dressing up as a Jedi to go and see a Star Wars movie the same as I see wearing your favorite team's jersey to go to their game. I don't honestly see a difference.

    I agree, the weakminded have always wanted to pick on the enlightened. The motto is... "Keep up the costuming, my GF is creating new clothing to fit more into the SW style"

    Slowly but surely she plans to integrate them into mainstream fashion.

    My fave darksider is the pre-mask Vader, you know before the Epic battle with the lava pit and Anakin...yeah. Probably because Hayden Christenson is SOOOOOOOO incredibly HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT [face_love]!!!!!!!

    I don't think there are too too many SW haters, even though one of my friends refuses to talk to me when i I talk about it. Most of my school went to see it in the first 2 weeks it was in theaters, AND we had a resident hacker at our school selling DVDs. He got 100 orders in about four hours!

    Take THAT you evil SW haters!!!!!

    Jedi-Roxy, Im afraid there are many Star Wars haters, the sad part is that you dont have to look far to notice them. Almost as bad as the haters, are the fair weather fans. Just because there is a movie out, they jump on the bandwagon. I really despise that! Of course the upside is that we can score figs real cheap after the hype dies off!! For a true fan the "hype" never dies!!! Lets keep this thread going , yes?

    Yeah, I notice alot of fair weather fans too. They get excited about the movies and some of the products and then 3 months later, they just loose the excitement. It's just not FAIR!

    I saw alot of true fans loose faith when TPM came out. That is justifiable. I almost lost faith after that movie. But I kept with it.

    That is a true fan. No matter HOW bad it gets, you keep on believing!

    I am reading "Using the Force", it is dedicated to the fans that never lose faith and dont need the hype of the films to keep the creative juices flowing, IN FACT, the fans in the book make their own movies, whooo!!

    Looks like I missed out an another extension of this topic! Ah, the "fair weather fan. There are many like this in the SW Fan Community. Your level of freakness should never die. It's like when people stop rooting for their favorite team because they are losing. That's bull. I can understand being disappointed in the movie and subsequently leaving the SW fanbase (Although I cannot agree with it!! No SW movies suck!), but you shouldn't hype up just when the movies come out. That's trash.

    You do get some over-zealous weirdoes about though. i mean, where's the point in finding every possible fault in something and harping on about it. If you don't like star wars - fine - you can ignore it and live your life in peace. just don't keep on about every negative thing you can think of.
