Lucas Talking about the fans of Star Wars at French Press Conference on May 16, 2005

"The older fans are loyal to the first three movies I made, and they are the ones in control of the media. The films that these people don't like, the first two prequels, are fanatically adored by fans under 25. They are always at each others throat about it."


That confirms that Lucas definitely knows about the rift between Star Wars fandom, and to me he knows we want the O-OT on DVD by making a statement that we, the older fans, are loyal to the older trilogy.

I think because most older fans don't like the PT, it makes him dig in even more, and it is almost like his 'Revenge' to say, "OK you want to bury my new trilogy, I'll keep changing the older films to fit my new trilogy so you will never forget Episodes I, II, and III, whether you like them or not.

Don't be fooled by Lucas guys, he knows exactly how we feel, and he always says he doesn't care what people think of his movies, and that he makes them whether we like it or not, B.S., he cares, because he believes the media who he feels loves the OT all of the sudden is the one that is spreading bad news about the Prequels.

But Lucas is also to say that the OT got bad reviews, and the critics never liked Star Wars, but now it is all our fault!

Hey George, make better movies, and we gladly defend them.
