How exactly does George not know which versions fans want? For god sakes, all anyone has to do is get on a forum with Star Wars posts, like this one, to see what version fans want.
I don't disrespect George Lucas. He created three of the best films in cinematic history. Then he screwed with them. That would have been all right, if only he'd left the un-screwed with version around with the "improved" version. But instead, he basically tells us the OOT is just a piece of crap he made back in the ninties. George could redeem himself in the eyes of fans, (well, at least in my eyes) if he'd just give us an anamorphic, remastered version of the OOT. George likes the Special Editoions better. I respect his opionon. Why can't he respect ours?
And about mentioning the topic on IMDb, that was just silly. They just took bits and pieces from the press release to make us all look like the bad guys.
