how good this film may or may not be is *completely irrelevant* to comparing performance since Star Wars fans *at the time* thought TPM would be as good as a Star Wars movie could possibly be.

Responses:

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
