In response to "This time, it's different!" by Sith Lord Sexypants

Well, you hate the original films, so I take all this doomsaying with a rock of salt.

What doomsaying? If anything, I've held my tongue. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 12, 14:52 17
- Fine. "mocking the enthusiasm". There's a lot that makes this movie look like it has focused on everything fans wanted - TWuGbacca Dec 12, 14:55 16
  - fans didn't care last time. it had "Star Wars" in the title. -- nm - Reagen Dec 12, 14:59 15
    - you're right. And it had Lucas directing. Then we saw it...and hated Lucas directing. It's a whole different ball game now. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 15:14 14
      - and the successive prequels suffered for it, though people still saw them in droves. But still seem to not be getting what I'm saying - Reagen Dec 12, 15:18 13
        
        Your're missing several of the points. Since the prequels a few things happened... - Remlik Dec 12, 15:33 12
        
        None of these things were problems for TPM. - Reagen Dec 12, 15:36 8
        
        If anything, the primary difference now (other than changing viewer behavior) is that... - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 12, 15:39 5
        
        Interesting comparison. I remember my students trying to tell me that The Hobbit didn't suck a few months after release. -- nm - Reagen Dec 12, 15:41 1
        
        they were correct. It didn't. -- nm - mud Dec 12, 15:46
        
        This is all the same as saying "ha! those fans are gonna get burned again!" negativism. - TWuGbacca Dec 12, 15:41 2
        
        I feel like you're just way too close to this and it's causing you to miss something obvious. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 12, 15:45 1
        
        Explain, please. -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 12, 15:56
        
        you're right. But it's still a different world with the hatred those prequels have NOW vs. Seeing the Original Stars back in further adventures. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 15:38 1
        
        "Chewie? We're home." is exactly why this film is being met with so much enthusiasm. -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 12, 15:42
        
        A was the entire argument for Phantom Menace. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 12, 15:35 2
        
        He is saying that kids loved the prequels. They have grown up and want to see more, as well. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 12, 16:15 1
        
        Kids found the prequels more boring than church. The first one was about economic sanctions and political machinations, for God's sake. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 12, 16:43
