Do 'Fanboys' hate this movie?

Huh? Why would you think that? All of my SW fanboy friends ADORE this movie. It's a love letter to Star Wars fans made by Star Wars Fans. Why in the world would they hate it?

Let me tell you a little story. You're an idiot!

I myself am a fan of the OT theatrical release, I do not like the special editions... I have no real love for eps 1,2 and 3.. although bearable they are nowhere near as good as the originals, just my opinion. Ep 3 is the only saving grace, but I think that's only because it starts to look like the original 3, (we finally get to see those lovely grey uniforms)...

anyway, getting to the point.. I loooove this movie, I thought it was very funny.. tons of in jokes, sooo much merch I would give my right eye for, and the cameos were awesome..

You're Perfect Yes It's True.... But Without Me You're Only You

I liked it. I liked all the in-jokes and how passionate the characters were. I wish I had everything they did, all their shirts etc - it was just fun to be able to see a movie based around loving my favourite movies.

And I love seeing Carrie Fisher no matter what she's in - I love it when she does cameos in anything (like in Scream 3), she is always hilarious. And Harrison Ford is my favourite actor too, I love how much they defended him.

Oh and I have never really liked Star Trek, for no particular reason, and this was the first time I realised that was ok. When I was ever at any kind of convention or forum, I always felt like I had to like it.. Now I don't haha

But I will also say, the comments made by the OP in the first post, are the kind of comments that make me uncomfortable. If I like Episodes 1-3, that doesn't make me any less a fan. And I hate the labels, "fanboy" "true fan" - really, can't people just like it or not like it...

Like it or not.. the PT is part of the Star Wars universe, and you hate it. You can't dig around and find one redeemable quality about exactly 50% of the saga, so how exactly are you a true fan?

It seems to me like you're a dude that happens to like bits and peices of the big picture.

There are a few aspects of the PT that bug me, but I do still like and appreciate them. There are things in there that were REALLY well done, and some things that fail miserably. Life goes on.

<3 star wars!

Well, I'm a true Indiana Jones and Star Wars-Fan and expert since many-many-many years. As a true fan I really hate the PT (like all true fans). Only Star Wars-Fanboys defend the PT. But what about this moviee? I like it... I guess it was really funny. But do "Star Wars"-Fanboys hate "Fanboys"?

I'm a star wars fanboy and I fricken LOVE this movie. I swell with pride at the end when spacehog's in the meantime plays as they are going to see episode one and I tear up a little, remembering my own experience going to see episode one

Star Wars fan since 1977 here, and I adore this movie! It's a sweet, hilarious, touching, hilarious film, a real personal favorite. It's a film about the deep friendships you sometimes see among nerds and outcasts, something that non-nerds probably dont understand, not until they see this movie, anyway.

That said, you couldn't call me "a fanboy" precisely. I dont really get along with most hardcore Star Wars fans, I'm sane and I have a sense of humor, so I dont fit in.
