Yeah, sorry about that. I don't know how to fix it and it obviously wasn;t intentional.

It's been my experience, and I'm sure that this doesn't apply to everyone, that if someone isn't interested in reading a Star Wars book, they don't care enough about the movies to complain.

Well thats a very convenient, and honestly deluded, opinion to have of Star Wars fans in general. It smacks me more as an attempt to feel superior to people rather than a reflection of being a true fan.

And obviously, I do care enough to complain, along with MOST STAR WARS FANS WHO HAVE SEEN THE LAST 3 MOVIES LUCAS MADE. Movies should be held up on their own merits, and honestly, if you can't enjoy them fully unless you've read a multitude of books means Lucas failed completely as a film maker.

To dismiss someone's opinion because they didn't some book no one in the general fanbase has really read is to automatically dismiss pretty much anyone else's opinion who doesn't agree with you. Thats just lazy.

Argue the quality of the movies if you wish to defend them. The books are irrelevant.
