    Not at all... There are multiple franchises I wouldn't watch in a million years no matter how much people professed their love for them! :cool:

    No. I do find it perplexing when people have never seen any of them.

    Short rope for this thread. @anakinfansince1983

    I dont get insulted as everyone is entitlled to their own opinion. Not everyone in the world has to like Star Wars. I have a ton of friends who dont. What annoys the crap out of me are those who troll and those who start questioning other peoples likes/dislikes usually based on unsubstantiated and uncorrborated reasons.

    Yep, short rope. Any complaints about other fans and the padlock comes out.

    I don’t get insulted, because I don’t give a **** if people share my taste in fiction. I care about their real-world sociopolitical and moral views.

    I don't get insulted, but I do burn down their house.

    I mean it’s their choice. We all have our own tastes in movies so it’s just a whatever to me.

    I don’t get insulted, but, if they’re old enough to have seen the OT in theaters (especially the 1977 original), and didn’t, and especially if they still haven’t after 40+ years of opportunity, I might be a bit amazed. Other than that, I just feel sorry for anyone who hasn’t seen them yet. I feel sorrier for people who’ve seen them (or at least one) but didn’t like them.

    I don't get insulted at such things. I might get annoyed if people say they don't like the movies when they haven't seen them, and are basing their opinion on stereotypes about fans or uninformed assumptions about the movies. Still, I won't fly off the handle about it; that's a waste of time and effort.

    Nope. Even though I like most of the SW movies I'd probably still agree with said person on some reasons they don't care for the series.

    Only if they express it in an insulting way. So not usually, no.

    I'm aware that "Star Wars" is a largely Generation-X, maybe late Baby Boomer cultural phenomenon. Older Millennials might be into it if they grew up with the Prequels. If people aren't into it, and they're under 30 and over 60, they get a pass.

    No, that would be silly. I just had a conversation with someone in my Taekwondo class about this last night, she doesn't understand the appeal of Star Wars - but she was never condescending or treated me like I was dumb for liking it or anything, she just didn't get it. Much like how I don't get not liking Star Wars - but I'd never feel insulted for someone not liking something I do.

    Not in the least. Haters gonna hate. Star Wars fans gonna Star Wars fan. It truly is balance.

    I don't get insulted if they don't like SW. Heck, my wife doesn't like SW! What I do feel insulted by is when some individuals (like certain people I know who are arrogant %&@s in general) act like I'm childish for liking SW so much, and address me with a kind of condescending tone and whatnot...Kind of the "Oh, you like Star Wars? That's cute!" mentality. I do hate that.

    This. I've never seen a LOTR or HP film, and have no intention of doing so. My friends who are nuts about these don't think any less of me. Nor do I think any less of people who dislike SW. It's a big world after all.

    No. The fact is there are many movie franchises that have people clinging to them. I like many series of movies, but I am not going to be bothered with someone who has not seen a movie of the franchise or series. What gets me insulted is those who have no sense of humor and take that franchise seriously.

    Nope. I think it's a bit weird when people haven't seen the originals, but it's nothing i'd get upset over.

    No, but my brother does. Or rather, he becomes incredulous, as it his firm belief that it is impossible for a rational human being not to like Star Wars. True story.

    People do find it curious that I like both Star Trek and Star Wars. Like I have to pick one or something.
