Yeah... you're gonna go far here.
For as much as some people claim to hate what Star Wars has become, they sure seem incapable of shutting up about it.

There's the old adage about catching more flies with honey than with vineger. This approach works best with Lucas. You kiss his posterier long enough (the Rickster) and you get to produce his movies. I'm betting if us fans start kissing up again, well get his attention. A lawsuit would only kill off the possibility of a proper release. George would leave the sandlot and take his ball with him.

Yelling at us here isn't going to get you very far either.

Honestly, no.

It would only tarnish the image of Star Wars fans.

Attempting to sue George Lucas over what he chooses to do with something he created is going to "make people look upon Star Wars fans with more respect"? That's pretty rich, kid.

But if you want to try, be my guest. I'm sure a handful of old quotes is more than enough evidence to win the case, and you'll be back here to remind us of all the money, fortune, and fame you've received.

MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
JediRandy: They're certainly beyond any repair you're capable of making.


MeBeJedi: You aren't one of us.
Go-Mer-Tonic: I can't say I find that very disappointing.


JediRandy: I won't suck as much as a fan edit.

You want to sue Lucas on what grounds? False advertisement? Sure, it's an offense, but it's so common that if everyone sued every company that's done it, there would be no one left!

Actually, what points exactly did you have in mind for false advertisement?

So you admit you are in it for making money, and now you are on record saying that you have death wishes for Lucas and McCallum. Good luck with that.

Dude, those are some pretty sorry reasons to sue somebody. This is about film preservation, not Anna Nicoling somebody out of their loot.

I don't want money (well, OK; I do, but that's besides the point). I just want a high-quality OOT DVD release before I die. I seriously doubt that we could win a lawsuit against Lucas, and in any case, I don't particularly want to; like I've said, I just want high-quality OOT DVDs. It would be interesting to see what would happen, and if it would bring the OOT issue into the eyes of the mainstream, then I'd be interested. But quite frankly, I think that what we really need is to apply as much pressure as humanly possible to Lucas from other sources, especially since it does not look like the September discs will sell well. What we really need is some way to get the man's attention without ticking him off. And a lawsuit would not thrill him. At all. If you know any celevrities or mainstream media, contact them.

Even I am going to take a pass on this one. It's waaaaaaaay too easy.
"Among many things I have to be thankful for are you, the fans. I know that some of you haven't liked every single thing that I've done with the saga, and that you have a strong sense of ownership over all things Star Wars. But take that passion and devotion and channel it into a creative project of your own."

The only charge we can sue George Lucas is on false-advertising. He advertises the 1977 version of Star Wars for the september releases, and we're getting no such thing.

I wasn't sure I'd agree with Randy about something, but the beginning of this thread is the perfect example of taking it WAY too far and it only makes the rest of us--the sensible ones--look worse by association. I love Star Wars, but I'm not insane.

The Batshit is strong with this one . . .

The illusion is complete. It is reality, the reality is illusion, and the ambiguity is the only truth. But is the truth, as Hitchcock observes, in the box? No, there isn't room; the ambiguity has put on weight.  --Gavin Milarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
