Well, I do hate him. He has treated the fans like sh**.

With fans like your dumbass, as well as the dumbasses on this board, who the hell can blame him. This board alone shows how pathetic Star Wars fans has become, and how low it's sunk.

he continues to deny his fans

What fans? None of you on this board are fans of George Lucas. Why should George Lucas give a damn about a bunch of dipshits who wish him dead over simple movies, who call him names at every turn. If I was Lucas, I'd look you in your eye and tell you that not only will you not get the originals, you won't get anymore Star Wars period.

that we, the fans, made him who he is with our money

Please do me a favor and shut up. Neither you nor any of the fans made Lucas. He made himself by starting with nothing and created an iconic series of films. Did any of the fans have a hand in creating Star Wars? Did the fans create any of the characters, worlds, or anything in Star Wars? Did the fans send Lucas money to make Star Wars? Did fans stay up and worry with Lucas during the making of these films? Did fans visit Lucas in the hospital when Star Wars put him there? Did fans help direct or produce the films? The answer to those questions is a big fat NO!

Fans contributed absolutely nothing when he was creating these films. All they did was consume. They spent money of their own free will. If Lucas had created a series of horrible films, there wouldn't be Star Wars fans today. The fact is if it wasn't for Lucas, none of you wouldn't even be here right now. This board wouldn't exist. Fans didn't make shit.

Lucas owes you nothing. What makes Star Wars fans more pathetic than any other film fanbase is this sense of entitlement they think they should have. You own nothing. You deserve nothing.

Wow , are you his biographer? or a relative? you seem a little angry, the way I see it people are voicing their discord with lucas's decision for not releasing the OT, granted personal attacks are not really a good way to articulate a point of view, but then who is calling who 'dipshits'.

This whole board is about the Original Trilogy, the one thats been available for the last 26 years or so, the one that I watched in the cinema in the late seventies.Call me nostalgic but I like that version I grew up with, the thing that baffles me is the refusal to include it on a dvd release, so many other films have Directors cuts and SE versions, for the 2004 version to be changed a new transfer sans CGI would have to have been done so why not bung it on there and make a old man happy.
