The internet is some unending debate about the prequels. You know what I respect about George Lucas? He made the movies he wanted. He doesn't need "fans" telling him what THEY want. Didn't like them? Awesome. But you don't need to keep telling the world how much you hated them or want Lucas to admit to something that he's never going to admit to.
And guess what? The people who complain the most about the prequels are probably the first ones to buy the blu-ray only to complain about them again. It's unending.
Em, i think sometimes people forget where they are. When you use the term 'internet', you mean 'movie discussion' forums like this, aye? movie discussion of the negative and positive, in other words.
You are always going to get Star Wars fans complaining about the prequels in some form or another because most fans, and professional movie critics, do not consider them to be in the same league as the OT.
I don't see the point of saying 'It's Lucas' creation, he can do what he wants', aye, of course, but we are the paying fans, so we can critique the films negatively if we want too, we spent the dough on them that allows them to be made right?
You'll just have to put up with the fact that some SW fans are going to have a negative opinion on the prequels and you will encounter those opinions for as long as you discuss SW in a public forum.
I don't see the big deal about that, unless of course you feel your own delicate opinions and tastes are threatened by that, which is ridiculous. If you like something, stick by what you like, you shouldn't feel threatened or angry at folk who heavily critisice films you like.
As I have said recently in the thread, in the recent past the most heated comments in this thread have come from folk bashing prequel bashers.
edit: what you don't want to get like, is the folk who just rant and rave negatively about the prequels at the drop of a hat.
Star Wars has about as many fans as it is possible to get, there are always going to be a large turnover of folk bashing the prequels, you just have to chill out about that, let the deabte rage on, it is never ever going to go away from SW fandom, chill out and accept it.

PSedit: I get it, I know, folk want to sit and talk about Star Wars and enjoy themselves, talking about the books, tv shows, toys, replicas, box art....but you also don't want to start excluding serious discussion of the movies, even some that are very negative, as long as the person is serious and not a troll.
Because there is a danger of excluding this type of serious discussion going on here. I am not trying to single you out, but this post is complaining about folk who say they didn't get the movies they were expecting...well damn, what is wrong with that opinion?
I understand if folk don't want 100% negative trolling going on, I don't either, but us fans who were heavily disapointed by the prequels, and want to critique Lucas as an artist should be able to have our say without being labelled as haters.
It's not like we are trying to screw with him personally are we? We're just having our say.
