I think that George Lucas does the things he does, like change the OOT To this new film, because he deep down cares about the fans (bare with me)
He wants to connect the OOT fans with the PT and bring STAR WARS Together as a whole. Maybe if us fans, the ones who made STAR WARS Such a great success that it is today, quit being selficious and dislike the films for legit reasons and quit acting as if they are in a different universe (PT AND OT) then maybe we can all enjoy STAR WARS Alot more.
Sure owning the OOT on DVD would be a nice thing for George Lucas to do, but it is not the end of STAR WARS if he does not. We grew up on the OOT (some of us) and I Think it is time for us to let the New generation, and generations to come, enjoy STAR WARS. STAR WARS are great films, and if you really believe STAR WARS Is great, you will not leta few adjustments that "rape your childhood" get in the way of it being a great Series.
If you hate Episode 1 because of Jar Jar binks, chances are that you are an adult...and that is natural. If you hate it because it does not Have Vader, Luke, or Solo...then that is just silly.
As for HC being in Episode 6...if you were any type of STAR WARS Fan, you would know that when a Jedi Becomes a sith, he dies both Spiritually and Physically (IE The Eyes and color of skin)
Greedo shooting first adds more to Han Solo's badass feel (please bare with me yet again)
Han never flinches, so it shows how calm and cool he is and then shoots right away at Greedo. Greedo Misses his first shot, Han does not. This shows Han being the better of the 2.
Showing Jabba early on in the series in Episode 4...is not taking the suprise away from what Jabba is a silly statement. Jabba is shown in Episode 1 and has to be. Jabba runs most of that area of Tatooine, and it is natural for him to be seen at the Pod Race. Having Jabba in episode 4 is a good thing IMHO.
Bash this, Flame me, all you want. But I am a STAR WARS Fan, not an OT fan, or a PT fan.
all i can say is that you spoke exactly what has been on my mind from the begining. all i can say is i agree with you completely. its funny cause on this site i migh thave gotten peged by all the new comers that i am an PT fan because i am always defending it. the fact is that i like all of starwars, and the funny thing is i like some of the books more then the movies, i find they have so much more to offer, and there not as sloppy. i.e. things are quite clearly explained and you don't get people getting mad about something that doesnt make sense to them right away.
theres too much reading to go through here right now so forgive me.
