Sifo-Dyas, for someone that doesn't like Lucas's "revisions" you sure did alot of it connecting my words to whatever you wanted them to say.
Uuh, ok?

Well, I suppose you chose a blindfolded avatar for a reason. I never said I did not enjoy the PT, it really has it's moments - I just did not enjoy it as much as the OOT. I did not critisize your preferrence of the PT nor do I think the idea of making them was a bad idea in itself. The fact that little kids like StarWars is really not that big of a deal, kids also like Tele Tubbies. Of course there were technological achievements established through the production of the films - but it is these technological achievements that are revolutionary (kudos to Lucas for that, if ye will), alas the films themselves are certainly everything else but revolutionary. And from my point of view, furthering the industrialization of what already has become a "movie industry", is nothing I'd consider a benefit in every aspect of the art. My gripe is not the story of the PT, but Lucas using the great story ideas he had for the PT and frankensteining with them for the sake of pushing the evolution of digital film technology as far as possible. Technology first, story second - that's an agenda I simply don't agree with.
