I just think that lucas doing this whole adding on thing to the PT is great. I do disagree with him on some things. the 1997 thing was a great way to bring alot of people back before he did Episode 1, but releasing stuff in 2004,just 3 years away from its 30th anniversary is greedy. I think there should have just been the 1977 - 1983, 1997, and the 30th anniversary cuts. Nothing more, nothing less.

But what else would you call a person that refuses change? Conservative is not the right choice of word in this arguement, stubborn is more like it. I just think that The fans of STAR WARS take Things too far. They dress up as characters, they re-enact the epic battles, and it is not like it is young children, I am talking the guys that are in their 30's and over. George Lucas is a geek, and he is a geek over his films, but the way his fans obsess over his films...and bash him, well I mean...you kind of cannot blame the guy for being the @$$clown that he has become. George Lucas is a good man deep down inside...greedy maybe (He is a democrat, so it is not like he can be that greedy for tax cuts) But at least he is making money doing what he wants. Alot of people bash Episodes 1 - 3, but I know that they are the same eople who went out and saw the films more than once, the hardcore "nerds" shall I say. I saw each film from Episodes 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 at least twice. I am not ashamed George Lucas got my money, it takes alot for a movie to make me go back and see it a second time, especially a 3rd or 4th.

We all need to be greatful Episodes 1 - 3 came (if your a STAR WARS fan that is) because now it is over, and if you want to go see movies with actors like The Aviator or Any crap Jenifer Lopex produces out of her ass...hell even Vin Deisel....then you will see the bad acting and dialogue. Bash Episodes 1 - 3 for its acting, but we do not go to STAR WARS For its acting. If you want to see bad acting, rent that Vin Deisel film or house of wax when they come out.


I also agree with "if it aint broke, then dont fix it" But STAR WARS is STAR WARS. It does not fit right with Episodes 1 - 3. This all goes back to my theory on if Epsiodes 1 - 3 Came ou in the 70's and 80's....you guys would not bash them all...but bash Episodes 4 - 6 That came out in the 90's and 2000's. If Anakin was played by a teen in 1983, you would have no problem with it. STAR WARS Fans just carry the mentality as to like and only love the first thing they witness, not its clone or change. I tend to believe that, if things can look good visually (Have the Spectacular visuals as episodes 1 - 3) and the story Episdoes 4 - 6 have...then you cannot get any better than that.

Do your selves a favor, I promise you if your a STAR WARS Fan, if you own a HD-TV or a wide screen with a decent audio. Go out and buy the 30th anniversary box SET, Watch Episodes 1 - 6 in one week (if u can do it in 1 sitting in 1 day...then god bless you) and enjoy STAR WARS. I am just here to help fellow STAR WARS Fans enjoy and open up to the greatest Movie series of all time.

I have watched Episodes 1 - 6 all on my Wide screen (I cannot discuss how I saw episode 3, you all know why) and It was breath taking experience me and my buddies had. I had some friends who are sutbborn episodes 4 - 6 fans, and some stubborn 1 - 3 fans. But in the end, we all realised how Great STAR WARS is when you make it into a whole, not 2 seperate trilogys.
