It wouldn't be nearly as bad if Lucas would simply have put the original versions out alongside the special editions, thus still giving us the choice. Not every director out there feels a need to destroy the original theatrical version in favor his/her director's cut (the only exceptions I can think of being Ridley Scott's Blade Runner cut and Robert Wise's Star Trek 1 cut). If he hadn't been such a stubborn jack ass about the original versions I wouldn't have a problem.
