Indeed, it annoys me when people act like "not altering the story" is somehow a big deal. When it all comes down to it, the storyline is really the least important aspect. If it wasn't, no one would watch Star Wars because it's nothing but a bunch of time-honored fantasy cliches put in a sci-fi setting. You might as well be saying "it doesn't matter what Lucas does to Star Wars because we can just read Lord of the Rings instead."
