However, the posters of this forum do make as many good points. They will probably just have to live with the newer films and treat them the way most treat the Expanded Universe stories.
I have a few ideas for fan edits (though currently I don't have the technology, much less the time, nor experience to pull it off).
One of an isolated original trilogy (probably edited DOWN from the upcoming final edits mixed with previous cuts) to include the more desirable special effects while restoring the original revelation of the Falcon (Jabba is too gangsta to get stepped on like one guy pointed out), Han's blast, original sarlacc (the new one bugs me! was that in the SE? I don't remember), and the original Anakin. You know, the "aint broke" stuff.
The second a 6-film would include these same changes, with the inclusion of deleted scenes from the prequelsminus a few cheap giggles from Jarjar (the poo-butt joke, the "my tongue" bit, and boss nass' floppy cheeks) and some of lil' Annie's dialog (this is pod racing, yippee, it's working, oops... goddamn Jake Lloyd).
Actually, these edits are so minor that I'm confused why George Lucas wouldnt have fixed these silly silly things by now, but he probably won't. We'll see how it turns out. Hopefully Lucas will do SOMETHING to fit the movies together, and have the sense to make the ANH jabba scene a bonus rather than to exist in the film).
To Tony, as much as you accuse the old school fans of holding on too tightly to their childhood, you seem to protect George's "True Star Wars Story" with as much passion. I like to keep in mind that the Star Wars universe is subject to endless imagination. Nothing in Star Wars has ever been official, and I'm sure that even after the 30th Anniversary, we'll find continuity disaggreements, not to mention bad acting and mistakes. BTW, did they ever fix the mirror-image Boba Fett?
