	Of course, some of us here fail to understand how hating something makes you a fan of it. I don't get it, anyway. Well, to use your sports analogy, just because a team goes through a sucky period, doesn't stop you from being a fan. With Star Wars, just because someone might think that the last few years has produced bad SW films, doesn't mean they stop being a fan. ...but all of this has next to nothing to do with the A&P love story, so I won't go into this further. Just thought it was polite to answer the legitimate question posed to me. I think Anakin and Padme make a good couple. -----signature----- Anakin and Padme sitting in a tree, C-H-O-K-I-N-G "I am altering the OT, pray I do not alter it any further" My inner child thinks the prequels suck.

	Oh, and AnakinsLuv, hon, I've gotta say that I'm so, so sorry to hear what a dreadful time you had of it for Hallowe'en, confronted with....well, with what you were there....I really am sorry about that, and you of course have my total and profound, very profuse sympathies. Far too well do I know what it's like....sometimes I too have just sat and quietly stewed over it, when I've been in similar circumstances....other times I've just gotten up and walked right outta the room, refusing to have any part of what's only setting my teeth right on edge and really proving to be rather irksome, to say the least.... Now, though, it's gotten to the point where I'm unfortunately forced to be very wary about who I even mention The Love Story or even SW in general to anymore....way I figure it is, it really does behoove me to be rather discriminating about that - because in the past I've only been hurt otherwise. It is, after all, why I keep coming here - why this thread is my sanctum sanctorum....I always have that much, at least, to retreat to - or to fall back on, if you will....I really think such a thing is more than important, it's downright essential. However....I am yet always on the lookout for more people to potentially convert to the Love Story....always am I very attentive for it, and always do I have my ears pricked right up, hoping, waiting....because I know that they've gotta be out there - heck, we all are! Hey - how many people do we have to sway over to The Love Story before we get the free toaster oven? Dawn. -----signature----- Anakin Skywalker is shagadelic!

	Qui-Dawn --That's why we love you...so passionate and bold!! I think we all would agree that you and MissPadme are true "Defenders"!! Thanx gals darththunderbird --Wow!! I'm overjoyed that you could convert someone!!! That is some cool beans!! I converted a whole family once into Buffy fans but I have yet to convert someone to the love story . I mean, I guess I could count my babysitter, but she already was somewhat of a fan...I just made her into an even bigger one!! I guess it also depends on the type of people that you pick as friends...they have to be convertable!! Yes, MissPadme , I think I will need to get some new friends if I want to gush my SW fandom in front of others, but even though I know their true feelings about SW I also know they still love me . One more ls fan out there!! stacysatrip --That's a really good analogy...I wish that I would have thought of that at the party!! BTW, what's the last line of your sig. from? Sounds intriguing!! (Actually, it sound like something from Buffy, but I could be wrong...something I've forgotten). --AnakinsLuv -----signature----- "Jedi nookie? Sith nookie?

	We Defenders will be wearing our Defenders shirt and buttons at C3 and folks will know we are supporting Anakin and Padme all the way though the tough times. I am making a T-shirt to wear! I was thinking of making a special shirt for Hayden. What size? I would have loved to see more of the love story in the movie. I thought the family scenes that were deleted should definitely have stayed. I loved the scene in her bedroom when she was packing. I thought the dinner scene was great with her parents. Anakin looked so happy next to her at the table. I really believe that the chemistry of our couple was real off screen and it helped on screen. How could those two not look adoringly at each other? She would have to be made of stone to not look at him with love and adoration. She even admitted in the bonus material how handsome he was and how could Padme not fall for him We are all here because we defend the love story but it is ok to find flaws in it because it was not perfect. That does not mean folks do not defend the fact that they love each other and it is an important part of the saga of Anakin. -----signature----- "My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no answers.

	Wow, this thread sure exploded since I last posted. Glad to see people seem to be moving past the bout of ugliness, though - I left this board for over a year because I didn't feel there was anyplace worth posting; I'd hate to lose it again. There are few enough places for LS fans to indulge their love of it as is without screwing up one of them! In fact, when I watch the DVD, many times I'll just skip ahead to the Ani/Padmé scenes. Who cares about another asteroid chase or fight scene, LOL. LOL! Same here, stacy - almost without fail when watching AotC I'll skip over things like the Dex's Diner scene, or the Obi/Jango fistfight in the rain... and go straight to the next P/A bit. The LS was like any other part of SW for me - I find more I enjoy about it with each viewing. That's the great thing about SW - you can watch it a hundred times and still find something new each time that just makes it even more enjoyable. I enjoyed the LS before the prequels, really, if you can believe that - I knew from the get-go that I would find it fascinating, even if purely from a storytelling standpoint. It had a tragic ending and was a factor in the development of Darth Vader and had resulted in Luke and Leia... it was bloody friggin' epic, man. And while I don't think the execution was perfect, it was still well done enough that I love the ship even more than I did back then. I'd love a P/A shirt to wear at CIII... way, way back when TPM came out I saw the most adorable P/A shirt at the mall, with them on the eopie... and I didn't get it. Been kicking myself ever since on that, since I've never seen that shirt again. ponders hunting on Ebay -----signature----- The Fandom Heretic otherwise known as Lady Aeryn: http://ladyaeryn.livejournal.com/ The Moons of Iego: A/P - Thumbing our noses at happily-ever-after since 1999! http://moonsofiego.thepensieve.net/

	Well, I happen to think that it is perfect....yes, I do. And I'll not apologize for that, nor will I ever pretend to feel any other way....far as I'm concerned, in my heart, my mind, there are no flaws with it....I love it just as it is, I think it's entirely perfect....and that entirely heartens me, and I feel that I derive real strength, voraciousness and passion from that. It matters tome, and I do love it so, always have and always will....a romantic at heart, a passionate soul to the core, that's me....a believer in true love....now more than ever.

	Oh, now, I knew that no one here would ever ask me to do such a thing, sweetie. We who are the devoted and dedicated regulars in this, our home thread, after all....we, who are the true, loyal, loving, creative, vociferous, passionate Defenders at heart....well, now, suffice it to say - it of course goes without saying that none of our number would ever have....well, me....any other way. Neither would I, for that matter....I've never changed how passionate I am about all this, never backed down from that, never pretended to feel otherwise - and I sure ain't gonna start now. Thanks, babe.... high-fives Dawn. -----signature----- Anakin Skywalker is shagadelic!

	Some brief comments: About bashing and what's accepted on this site and isn't. The fact of the matter is if you can clearly and intelligently articulate your not-so-positive opinions about aspects of the Saga -- IT ISN'T BASHING. Bashing resorts to innane, overly used phrases the require little if any thought. And more bashing goes on around TFn than anybody wants to recognize. Very few intelligent points are made concerning the debatable aspects of the Saga. If you can say something intelligently (that required some thought) it usually will not encourage a negative response, which is why bashing is "not allowed" (LOL). Bashing encourages flame wars, etc. About the new online journal: I know that Rhonderoo, MissPadme, and one of my best friends are on the editorial staff and I feel confident that the quality and the standards of this journal will allow it be gain widespread respect and acceptance quickly. All on the editorial board are dedicated to intelligent, well-researched articles and essays about SW and will heighten the spotlight on this aspect of fandom that goes widely unnoticed. All fans know that SW is much more than pop culture and with journals like this one, others will get to know through insightful, witty, clearly articulated and substantiated essays the truly complex nature of GL's creation. And it looks like we have a President -- and in only one extra day too. -----signature----- "I write for the youth of my generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward."

	Great essay, PLJ ! I missed your little essays! I agree about the LS. I wanted more, that's my only issue really... At first I thought that it was too rushed, too unbelievable as well. But with subsequent viewings I realized the little details too. And I can't understand for the life of me how people can't see the chemistry between HC and NP. Speaking of which, this shot really looked interesting. rubs hands together Can't wait for the teaser. Hum, about the President. Well, no comment. My sig says it all. But at least no suspense that's true... -----signature----- 1-ROTS, 2-AOTC, 3-ROTJ/ESB/ANH, 6-TPM Brazil world champions in 2010.

	Re the election: it's over. Enough said. My teaser poster arrived yesterday damaged. I was in a bad mood. That said, it just seems to me SW fans spend far more time being critical and second-guessing Lucas at every turn than enjoying the movies for what they are. Maybe my geek gene has faded but it just gets annoying after a while. I've also seen a pattern of where fans get real excited over a movie, it's all fabulous and wonderful for a year or two, then all of sudden everyone turns against it. Films feature romances that are hurried along because you only have two hours or to tell your story. You just have to make it believable in the time period you have. It must have believable on some level most of you were drawn to this thread 2 years ago. Let me state for the record that as much as I adore A/P, I also love the action and fight scenes. It's not SW without them. --MissPadme -----signature----- http://lazypadawan.livejournal.com The Star Wars Prequel Appreciation Society http://starwarsprequelappreciationsociety.wordpress.com/ Eat my flame of justice!

	Thank goodness the election garbage is finally over. Let me state for the record that as much as I adore A/P, I also love the action and fight scenes. It's not SW without them. Oh, I agree - you can't have the slighty mushy stuff without having the fight stuff too; you've got to have both in SW. I do still enjoy the character stuff more overall, I think - my favorite scenes in the OT aren't the big battle scenes (though those are very fun to watch), they're the ones with Luke and Vader in ESB and RotJ. A total sucker for the Skywalker family dynamic, I am. -----signature----- The Fandom Heretic otherwise known as Lady Aeryn: http://ladyaeryn.livejournal.com/ The Moons of Iego: A/P - Thumbing our noses at happily-ever-after since 1999! http://moonsofiego.thepensieve.net/
