If you're a fan, you should like it!

I say that admirably. For all these people who keep proclaiming themselves to be huge fans of Star Wars but continually critique the saga as it unfolds, you're not really Star Wars fans -- you're Han Solo fans. If you read through these comments, you'll notice that the people who didn't like Episode 2 all had one complaint: no Han Solo.
Well, sorry kids, but he hasn't been born yet. Furthermore, this is a time when the Jedi would not converse with scoundrels like Han Solo. Everyone keeps saying Lucas is screwing up, but wouldn't it be counterfeit of him to insert a random cynical character (as a main character especially) into the universe simply because the fans desired it.
This is a different time than the first three movies. Enjoy watching the history of the universe unfold and stop wishing that Star Wars was a universe filled only with sarcasm and the void of your own imagination.
