Last night was the first time in 10 years I felt no angst against SW fans I disagreed with. For the record, before the SE & PT, I never disagreed with them growing up, so one is the effect of the other.

But I have to say I am relieved I can watch my favorite 3 movies of all-time in the versions I love, and not think about defending something that may become extinct someday. There is nothing more frustrating then growing up loving the OT, and see a bunch of new fans take over the saga, and Lucas continually catering to their needs, "Oh, you guys want more SE changes, here you go!" "You guys want more CG in the next prequel, here you go!"

I don't give a rats ass what people say about the O-OT anymore, cause I can watch it on DVD, knowing that there isn't this definitive edition bullshit by Lucas, and the millions of fans supported from 77-83 don't exist. I don't have to hear that Hayden is the force ghost, or Greedo shoots first, or Jabba first appears in ANH.

Now every SW fan can watch what they want, and we don't have to debate which is the proper way of watching it. By Lucas releasing this version along with the SE in the same case, he saying to let the fans decide.

If fans want to watch Hayden's mug at the end of ROTJ, or see a wideshot of Mos Eisley, feel free, I don't have to anymore.

Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi

The saga FINALLY comes full circle for me Sept. 12th, and nobody can take that away.

I am at peace............................
