Why do some people HATE Star Wars?

I'm a monster Star Wars fan, have been from day one. I think people should just get lost in it and not try to read so much into it. SO feel it is a political or racial statement of the times, I think its  just entertainment going back to the days when you could go to the movies and just have fun and not worry about the world for a while.

Because people who hate want their kids to hate. For example, family A hates black people, they have a daughter and they fear she might grow up and marry "one of those........" so they teach her hate to "protect" her.\n\nStupid, I didn't say it wasn't, however that is about the best way I can explain ignorance.

Fear. Usually fear of the unknown. But fear is what leads to hate. I hate to be Jedi on this, but fear means you don't have knowledge, and that can lead to hating whatever it is.

Well, aside from an intersting plot and creative characters, the original film was a huge hit in theaters because of the special effects. People of my generation (the one right after the big Star Wars fans) watch movies like that and think, "Wow, what lame special effects!" though at the time, it was awe-inspiring. The worst special effect (I think) I have ever seen was in Creature from the Black Lagoon, when a bat flew out of the cave, and the wire it was on was clearly visible.

Right now, it's jealousy.  Yes, some people do actually hate other people because they differ on opionions.

I have been a fan of Star Wars since I was seven years old, seeing the first movie in the theaters in 1977. I think it is on its way to becoming a timeless classic. The elements of the movies (good vs. evil, freedom from oppression, the power of love, etc) will always be strong no matter when they are watched.\n\nSorry... I tend to be long winded... from time to time... dear oh dear...\n\n"A New Hope"... Granted, the special effects in "A New Hope" are nothing compared to what we see today, but we wouldn't have the special effects of today without the groundbreaking efforts of Star Wars to pave the road.\n\n"The Empire Strikes Back"... This one has to be the best all the way around - just enough darkness to keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. Plus, the biggest revelation ever presented... "Luke... I AM YOUR FATHER!"\n\n"Return of the Jedi"... Once you get past the fact that an entire legion of the Emperor's best troops were thwarted by teddy bears, the redemption of the most vile creature in the galaxy makes it worth it.\n\n"The Phantom Menace"... The return to the galaxy far, far away wasn't as great as I expected it to be... maybe because I was no longer seven years old. It felt a little awkward at first, but after a while it kinda grew on me.\n\n"Attack of the Clones"... Probably the one film with the most missed potential. The battle scenes were fabulous. The special effects were phenominal. The dialogue... well... did I mention the great battle scenes?\n\n"Revenge of the Sith"... Finally, we see not only why Anakin became Vader, but why he must wear the suit... the only flaw I had with this one was the wooden dialogue between Anakin and Padme'... especially the lovey-dovey scenes near the beginning.\n\nDespite the bad press many people give the prequel trilogy, when it is watched as a whole it flows perfectly together alongside the original trilogy. I look forward to introducing the saga to my son in about seven years!

The reason there is so much hate in the world is because we humans don't accept one another for who we are. The other thing is that politics often times stir tension between groups, societies, different religions/belief systems and people of different race/color. I for one do not hate anybody and my religion teaches me if you hate someone I'll be sinful. So I do not hate anyone and I accept everyone of different shape, size, color, race, gender, sex, orientation, personality. I'll tell you what I don't accept, I don't accept people who are fanatical and are too extreme. So it depends, there are good people and bad people in every culture, every country, every race, and in every society, it doesn't matter if you're white, black, Mexican, brown, yellow, green, hot pink, etc.. And lastly I accept people with different view points if they are not threatening the society or me. Or causing tension or hatred or bloodshed. If a person doesn't express his viewpoint without being extreme than I would not accept his viewpoints whatsoever since extremism can lead to hate!

people tend to dis like or even hate what they dont understand... they are frustrated at being ignorant so they act ignorant... the funny thing is if people got to know each other they wouldn't be ignorant and all this would go away...

George Lucas said it was basically a makeup of ALL religions in some form or another. Guess u could see the Emperor or Vader as the Devil (I say emperor since he manipulated Vader) and Luke kinda compared to Jesus and Obi wan God and so on, but lets not go getting all ready to make a new religion. I believe in God and the Devil, SW is just a GREAT movie about good and evil.

because they need something to hate....because their lives are pathetic and they need drama to keep their worlds going round?....because they are ignorant....the hating that you see towards Hispanics or Latinos is no different from the hate that is going on any where else in the world to any other race or any other sex or creed or religon for that matter....it is still hate....and I am sorry it is there....I wish it weren't....then we could all watch star trek and smoke a bowl together

I thought the Lord Vader one was funny being a Star Wars fan but the rest of them get a little tired after having to sit through them more than once.  Thankfully I now live in the US where Orange don't exist so I don't have to see them :D

The french hate everybody because they are so insecure with their own little failure of a country. Their culture is dieing so they legislate the amount of outside films that come in their country. The short answer is that are jealous of the rest of the world,

I think Darth Vader is jealous of how Luke skywalker admires Jean Luc Piccard as his father. Right before, Romulan strikes back against the evil empire. :p

People hate what they don't understand or what they fear. Isn't it peculiar to have one religion "hate" another religion. God must really love that.

People hate Islam, because the media makes them hate Islam, 'whynotaskdon', you are racist, and the Holy Koran is the most pure, most untouched book in the Universe. \n\nTerrorists blowed up the twin towers, was it really terrorists, or an excuse by the U.S. Government to wage their wars against Muslims? \n\nThe U.S. Government is hitting two birds with one stone, they don't like Muslims so they are killing them, they wan't/ need oil, so they are taking that too. \n\nTHE MEDIA IS A POWERFUL WEAPON\n\nI am a Muslim and have to admit their are some extremists in Islam, like in most religions. But what are the percentage of the extremists? 0.000001 % ?\n\nPeople judge billions of people over a few people. You are not to blame, the Media is the ones to blame, they are supposed to give a biased view, but they are doing everything but that.\n\nI as, a Muslim have respect for the People of the Book* and their followers, even if i don't agree with all the things that is said. \n\nI have respect for people who follow their religion honestly.
