However, right at the start he said that "real" Star Wars fans prefer the 1977-1995 versions... and that grated on me.
Rather odd for a guy who wrote multi-paged defenses of both TPM and AOTC. As for his comments regarding ROTS, I think he was upset or disappointed that Anakin didn't turn dark due to simply a strong desire for power or that the Jedi's actions had led to his path as a Sith. I think that is what Lardbiscuit wanted to see. Now, I may be wrong, but I don't think he liked the idea of Anakin's desire to save Padme or inability to let go of her as an attachment leading him to the Dark Side. Which is odd, considering that he had pointed out that the circumstances surrounding Shmi's death in AOTC may be foreshadow of Anakin's attachment to Padme.
