Since it seems you ignore my messages about people not liking certain films because it doesn't appeal to them, perhaps there's another explanation:

Popularity.

The most popular stuff out there also has a large base that say its the worst thing ever created--and I can bet people say this because it is popular.

Examples of stuff that gets bashed all the time:

Star Wars
Harry Potter
Pokemon

Do I like all three of these?  Yes and no: some episodes/parts are good, and some I just like less because of presentation.  That's the way the world turns.

Some Star Trek fans also seem to bash Star Wars.  Its not all of them because there is a Trek fan in my class who also likes Star Wars.  However, people always make big deals over who would win in a fight.  Quite frankly, I don't give a care!  Star Wars and Star Trek are in completely sepatate galaxies, billions and billions of lightyears apart!  They will never, ever meet so they will never, ever fight!  Therefore, I wish these people would just shut up about it.  There are some trek fans in my class who say Trek would win.  However, they are the unpopular nerds of the school.  And I mean NERDS!  They talk about how unrealistic SW is.  And Star Trek isn't???  :cry  I don't care!  I don't watch it to be realistic!  I watch it to be entertained!  These people people point out that we don't really have death stars, super lasers or X-wings.  Oh, lets see.  We don't have phasers, warp drives or matter transporters either!  Then, there are the extreme realists.  These morons bash all space movies because they say there is no sound effect in space.  BS!  What fun would Star Wars be without sound?    As I said earlier, I don't want or care for it to be realistic.  Just as long as it entertains me. :angry:  No offence to any Star Trek fans but to me, Star Trek is boring.  I use to like it when I was 4 but then I saw Star Wars and liked it better.  I watched a couple of the movies and I fell asleep in one because they had one scene where they just did nothing but pass through some colorful clouds for 10 minutes.   Anyway, enough of the reasons why I don't like Trek.    

Anyway, I love Star Wars.  When I first saw it, I had bad dreams that the "dark man" was going to get me!  I read all the books and everything.  In Star Wars, they have had space technology for over 30,000 years.  I write SW stories all the time.

I don't know why A-holes bash both Star Wars AND Star Trek.  I'm a so-so fan of both.  But there's a lot of people who just go OVER THE EDGE!   :mad  :mad  :mad  :mad  :mad I like Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica more.  BUT AT LEAST I RESPECT ALL OF THE HARDCORE STAR WARS FANS OUT THERE!  :mad  :mad  :mad  :mad For those of you who are bashing these fantastic movies:  GET A LIFE!  :mad  :mad  :mad  :mad  :mad

Never was too much of a fan of Star Wars or Star Trek sorry. I am not bashing it in any way I felt the same way about LOTR not trying too bash any of those I just have a short attention span.

I don't suppose people will ever stop bashing a given movie (whatever title or content) when people are showing as extreme reactions to their bashing as you do with your posts. There are people who find this quite entertaining, so don't do them the favor, get a grip, shrug it off, and for heavens sake, please don't start yet another page long hate thread on how bad everyone is and how you hate everyone because they are so bad!

I can understand why some people hate "Star Wars". There's really not that much depth to the story, and Alec Guinness was really the only "great" actor in the entire cast, and he's gone after the first movie for most of the screentime. But there were certanly no bad actors in the film. And the directing was always static and basic, and it wasn't highly artistic or very deep at all, but then again, it was never intended to be. Its pure entertainment at its best.

I like Star Wars, and I'm proud of it. Even before I became hard-core last year, I prefered the movies with Dark Lords, snow creatures, and Death Stars to those boring TV shows my parents used to watch at night. Oh no! Evil smoke is chasing us, Scotty! Any way, it seems more Star Trek fans bash Star Wars than Star Wars fans do Vice-Versa. They just don't accept that even Boba Fett's Slave I or the Millenium Falcon could defeat the Enterprise. It's a pretty straight-forward choice when I decide to take out my ST: Empires at War or my SW: Empire at War.

I'm a fan Star Wars and Star Trek: The Next Generation.  I don't bash any of them because I am a hardcore Science Fiction fan and I watch anything with a SciFi theme.  That counts both Star Wars AND Star Trek.  I'm mostly a fan of SciFi games in the First Person Shooter genre.  Halo is ranking at the top of my list.  But TV wise, I like all things SciFi: Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica (The new one), Doctor Who, the X-Files, Stare Trek, Star Wars, Alien, etc.  I like them all, none outweighing the other.  And I'm a huge fan of SciFi short stories, heck I'm even wtiring a SciFi Story on FF.net.  (God It's been weeks since I've worked of chapter 25  :blink: )

I love Yoda's final comment  :lol:
Though they might have transfered it into his way of talking. "Screw up on this we did for sure!" Or something along that lines.

If you like that parody, of Episode 3, you'll love these pardoies.
