The reason that it is still a point of contention is that you are wrong and your friend has principles.

I love the Ewoks. Judge me. I don’t care.

uh.... really? No its really just nostalgia. Nope nothing to do with the craptastic story, jar jar binks, ewoks, you are my roommate’s uncle’s cousin’s next door neighbor’s sister, oh wait my sister!, etc... SORRY. You are delusional. The originals were not perfect but they should not be put into the same universe as…

and right now, you’re the guy in a trenchcoat

A good friend of mine group up with her Dad taking her to the prequels. She didn’t understand why anyone loved Star Wars. I recently showed her the original theatrical versions of the original trilogy and she fell in love immediately during A New Hope (She thoroughly enjoyed V & VI as well) She said “I get it now! I…

Nah. Even putting plot holes and nerd nitpicks aside, the prequels fail on so many fundamental levels. Storytelling, plotting, dialogue, editing. And ultimately, they fail the biggest test: they aren’t even fun to watch. There’s no emotional connection to be made with any of the characters.

No I’m not over 25: like I said, I was a child when the prequels were released. The fact that I did not like the prequels but loved the originals is plainly a contradiction of the hypothesis that nostalgia is the sole differentiator, because I was not old enough to feel nostalgic. And no, I didn’t even watch the…

I was 12 when Phantom Menace came out, and I didn’t initially realize how shitty it was, but after the second or third watch, I knew. And yes, I already adored the originals.

The bullshit contrarian idea that the only thing different is that older people are nostalgic needs to die. People repeat this word for word and…

No, I’m pretty sure I understood your point exactly. It was that the original films were of the same quality as the prequels, and the only reason people think otherwise is because of nostalgia. Right? Then I contradicted this with an example, and since then you have not made any kind of coherent comment.

But wow, you just compared possibly the most beloved and popular film series of all time to a horror movie (albeit a classic), and said the correct choice was for the loved film series to be more like the horror movie. I'll respectfully state that you've been proven wrong. Stronger work of art? Maybe. But the guy who…

Easy.

Ha, I think that is something YOU need to do, clearly. You didn’t even posit an opinion so much as a hypothesis.

Your opinion is objectively bad and you should feel ashamed.

The scene where luke turns himself over to vader in ROTJ is a great scene. It’s the first glimpse of vader having a glimmer of good underneath.

Have you watched the RedLetterMedia reviews of the prequels? He lists some pretty compelling arguments why the OT is better from a (mostly) objective viewpoint.

I discovered this today, and it sounds brilliant.

I didn’t get one till ‘89. I got it for christmas with that charming tmnt game.

The NES was the first game system I ever owned. I remember playing it for the first time when I was six years old with games like the first Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Contra. Since that time I’ve never stopped playing video games, and I hope I never will. Happy birthday!

It’s a vicious cycle: The Cleveland Browns suck -> TV doesn’t cover them-> they don’t make much money->They can’t hire good players->The Cleveland Browns suck-> …
