I'm getting f$%^ing sick of all these damn generalizations that Star Wars fans don't like the prequels. have they been on these boards? there are plenty of people on here that love them as much of the old movies, some even think they're better. And when ROTS comes out, and the public finally gets why I and II were what they were and the reasons behind these alleged "flaws". The only reason the public thinks they're flaws is because the public wants to see Vader on a killing spree, and that's not the point of the movies. I'm just so goddamn sick of reading these articles where they always start with "this time Lucas gets it right". Its so irritating, he got them right in I and II also, the general public is just to dumb to understand that it isn't finished till III comes out. So how can they know they're mistakes when they don't even know how it ends? they think they know, they've come up with these things in their heads and imaginations, and are pissed when the reality doesn't match it. Its just so irritating when people can't see past what they want and understand WHY something, especially a film, is the way it is.

Empire Uk Magazine Sw Edition.
Empire the UK film magazine which is out tomorow (28th) will come in a special "SOUND EDITION" available at select stores in the uk for a limited time....so uk fans snap it up as it will disapear FAST.
I guess this "SOUND EDITION" will use the same thing that they use for birthday cards and will probably feature Vaders breathing as the ad i saw in FHM had Vader on the cover.
ALSO there is a special one off SFX MAGAZINE Star Wars special edition due a week later with free Sticker book.
AND also in the Uk there is a tv special being put together by Dermot O Leary for BBC THREE due in May.
