For this entry, I’ve been inspired to talk about Star Wars fandom, and what that has become since the prequels. I became a fan of Star Wars while in junior high, this was in the mid-1990s, a few years before the Special Editions would come out in theaters. Episode I: The Phantom Menace was released in the spring of my senior year, just prior to my high school graduation. Until that time, the only fan related Star Wars hate revolved around the Ewoks, whom I had no trouble with and still don’t.

Star Wars Prequel Reboot: Blog #2 – Fans of the Saga

Saturday, January 30th, 2010
This is the first of a series that I have not planned out, about an idea that I have had for some time, for how the Prequel Trilogy should have been formatted. This is something that I know that many people have their own ideas for, and I am curious to see what others think of my own ideas, as well as hopefully foster something positive with regard to the often hated and much maligned Star Wars prequels.
I should start by saying that I really like the prequels. In fact, I love those movies. I grew up watching the original trilogy and was absolutely beside myself when the prequels were announced and watched each film as they came out, ignoring as much as I could, the general public’s reaction to the films. I should also say that I have a very high tolerance for movies of varying degrees of quality. If you continue reading my blog, you’ll see that in what I write about. Especially if you look at the contents of my DVD collection, or my flixster movies list.
