Why would anyone be upset at fiction is strange to me – I for example do not like violence and for some reason also do not like Stephen King. Love action movies but anything Tarantino and up, blood gore and dismemberment horror movies are out of my comfort zone. I just won’t be able to function for days that’s all. But this is very personal and will remain just one sentence – i don’t want to ruin anyone’s appreciation of whatever they may be into.
To me the prequels are magic, I am completely color blind to their faults although I intellectually understand where the problems are. I have seen them many times – my mind functions very strangely in that very often I quickly forget details so every time I re-watch a movie it is like almost brand new experience.
I grew up on sci-fi, hard sci-fi and pretty weird sci-fi. It is the story, the whole package that is magic for me. Like someone waved a wand and am transported, can’t see any rotten trees in the magic forest. It is like watching Sesame street – do you worry about acting or the costumes? I am not gonna pick apart the acting in a thing with lightsabers. For the same reason I like to eat falafel – I like the way it makes me feel. I do not know if it is the process of chewing it, the crushing of the fried bits, the sauce, the pita – at the end of the day we like the experiences that make us feel good a bit of a mystery too.
Can you make me eat steak? – hardly – I am not gonna try to make you give up your meat. We are going to exist together in this universe where some of us like our pizza with the crust crisp, and our toast burned. Also, I like my universe with certain amount of innocence in it, where it is a bit stupid, and a little bit bad. Like when my dad says you know I am a realist and then I say well dad the reality is we are hanging upside down in space right now.
