Dear Simon Pegg,
I am writing from a very sensitive place in my heart. The same place that you have in your heart regarding star wars. We protect it because it bears the most raw nerves. It houses feelings of turmoil and happiness and carefully curated wookiepedia facts.
I happened to read about your dislike for the prequels and I respect that opinion. I understand that since this is a sensitive thing for both you and me and our feelings are strong about it. However, recently there had been a new interview in which you mentioned about not respecting the people who like the prequels. If this is a byproduct of a our chain-letter-Chinese-whisper-new-media, I understand. However, if you really think that way, I would like to tell you as a fan of the prequels I am hurt. The blow is stronger because I love and repect you as movie maker and I love all of your movies. I admire and aspire to be like you. It's a matter of conflict for me because I also love the prequels. I just wanted to remind you about the great things the prequels have given us: pod races, Ben quadranaro, sebulba, qui gon jin, maul, pod races, underwater gungan city, GREVIOUS! Battle on mustafar! I saw these things as a doe eyed kid and it helped me find the original trilogy. I was mesmerized by them. I understand you had the same feelings when you saw the sandcrawler, death star, Grand Moff tarkin, Vader, Metal bikini leia,Endor, chewie and Han!
The purpose of this letter is not convince you of how awesome the prequels are. I don't want you to respect me either because I'm a stranger to you. I would like to just ask you to be kind to the people who do enjoy the prequels.
You are still a motivation and a role model. Please make a new Cornetto movie.
Yours sincerely,
A prequel enjoyer
P.S: I'm so excited for the new movie!!!!!
