Your edit is more accurate.
I'd wouldn't say it's bitter. Corner store piss, more like.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (12/16/16)
The biggest problem with people who hate the PT is that they oversell the OT. Nostalgia plays a huge role in what makes the OT into this sacred trilogy for said fans.
When I meet a person who got into SW recently they all tell me the same thing "What's with the profound hate for I - III? I liked 'em just the same."
That unbiased opinion attests to how much personal love and connection accounts for the overrating of the OT and underrating of the PT.
I personally think the OT is better, but ROTS is just as good as ANH & slightly better than ROTJ.
My position is and will always be that they're all good in different degrees. ESB being the prime filet and AOTC a semi-decent flank steak.
The whole "PT sucks, OT rocks" position robs one of so much great SW lore, unnecessarily. Its all canon, so just enjoy it.

I'm going to hold you to this.
Did anyone in here get the 3D TFA... the one that's souring like milk...?

They've been forgotten by plebs. But TFA has been forgotten by patricians, and actually a lot of people too, it's just a meme now.
Edit: Actually no, M2,3 and P2 haven't been forgotten, they are trashed by plebs but not forgotten.
No no, that's true.Yup, just like The Matrix 2 and 3....

Bought it for the extra deleted scenes and commentary.
Will never watch the 3D version.

I really love my 3D TV and I'm tempted... but curious what others thought.
Sounds like we're in the fan backlash mode at the moment. All those tears for Han's return have turned to anger that TFA isn't as watchable as the other Star Wars movies.

I loved TFA. Watched it in five-story 70mm IMAX five times.
Adam Driver alone made that movie for me. The retro stuff and Rey's story arc drove it home even further.
The final scene with Luke's reveal is arguably one of the greatest film moments for me of all time. Williams' music rising as Hamill reveals himself...I cried every time.

"Patricians and plebs"?
Curious what you base your statements on. Opinion, obviously. But what else?

On fact. Scientific. My opinion is fact.

I understand your position a bit more now. I feel that way when T1 purists dismiss Terminator 2 or Alien purists crap on Aliens.....but I just can't seem to do the same with Star Wars. I really think it's night and day.

T2 is a better film than T1. Why people are still debating that is beyond me. Even Cameron thinks so.
Alien & Aliens are very different movies. I think they're both 10/10 but don't like to compare them because of how different their tones and genres are. Personally I like Aliens better, but recognize why Alien is deemed superior by many.
