I don't care about any of this. I have a DVD of ANH that I'm happy with now (Moth3r's). I reckon Lucas should just wait 20 years, then replace Alec Guiness and Sebastian Shaw with the properly aged actors from the prequels. I think it's a terrible idea, but really - I've got the movie I want, and it'll fix people's complaints about "HEY THAT IS NOT HIM OMG LOLZ".
VADER: Let me look on you with my own eyes...

LUKE: Dad, where are your eyebrows?

“This new Vader cycle (the prequels) has split the one-time Old Republic that was Star Wars fandom into two warring factions: the Rebellion, and the normal people with a sense of perspective who don’t need a term from the Star Wars lexicon to define them. The Rebellion is populated by the joyless, cynical ubertrolls who, sadly, take up the most space on the Internet. These are the hollow men and women who marched into the prequels demanding that Lucas recapture their lost Star Wars youth for them – that simple time in their lives when they had the excuse of prepubescence to explain why they were still virgins. With that much investment in make-believe, its little wonder they emerged as more twisted by the dark side than young Skywalker himself. The rest of us who grew in the sixteen years between Jedi and Phantom Menace view the new trilogy for what it is: three movies, not three impossible-to-fulfill expectations of folks who need a bearded billionaire in flannel to dream for them.”

He must really like that quote. Perhaps he should print it out, enlarge it at Kinkos, laminate it, and hang it on the wall by his bed. That way, every time he wakes up, he can read it one more time, and know that all is right with the world.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>
