&gt; It&#x27;s funny how all the real fans agree that 3&#x2F;6 movies were terrible.<p>I don&#x27;t think this is a unique phenomenon. Although the <i>real</i> fans hate it, I&#x27;m sure that some Star Trek viewers enjoyed Spock&#x27;s Brain, or Threshold (well, I take that back; no one liked Threshold).<p>It&#x27;s also &quot;cool&quot; to dislike Special Edition versions, and the Clone Wars show, but that doesn&#x27;t mean they&#x27;re bad, or even that fans actually dislike them.<p>Additionally you have people who watched the originals so many times that they were just disappointed with the prequels (it&#x27;s hard to make a prequel right, and even if it was nearly perfect, it wouldn&#x27;t be what the True Fans hoped for). Star Wars was never made for the real fans, because that is too small a niche to really target; in the same way as Star Trek 2009 made True Fans feel betrayed, I think the prequel trilogy disappointed them.
