To be honest, I too will stop paying attention to the future of Star Wars if the originals are ever released. In my opinion, there should be no future of Star Wars! The movies are done! The only future it should have is the memories of the fans and repeat viewings of the movies. The TV shows and whatever future changes just don't interest me in the least.

But with people like us gone, I suppose the only "active" fans will be the PT fans, and if Star Wars has to be continued to be milked, I don't want those kinds of fans up in the front lines with no opposition. Heh, I almost feel it's my moral obligation to continue balking until the end of time.

You know, in terms of nearly everything else in my life, I feel very young, but in terms of Star Wars, I feel very old because that's the group of fandom I'm lumped into. We're the cranky old crumudgeons who can't see the need for progress and flashy effects, and it's time we were put out to pasture. Bleh...
