You sure as hell can't have a thread "Is ROTS meh?" in there. Hell, I remember a I guy getting banned for saying that Anakin was whiney (He is whiney. It's fact!). But you can bash the original movies as much as you like. It's insane.

I feel like just giving up. Im getting tired of Star Wars and all the bs that Lucas tries to shove down our throats and all fans praising him for it. Thing is, the guy isn't an artist anymore and everyone with half a brain can see it. He is only in it for the money. Like the new DVD release. It's like I read somewhere: He is releasing crap version now and get money from it and then later release a better version. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to do sequels now. I bet they'd be cgi 100% too. You could just let the 3dsmax guys at Lucasranch program..err.. I mean shoot the film.

I 100% agree, I have actually given up posting on that site anymore, cause it just isn't worth it. In the ANH is 'meh' thread, you have people who want the whole movie updated cause it doesn't fit in with the saga! I mean how do you argue with someone like that?

Those people over there don't care about the O-OT, so they make comments like, "I don't see what the big deal of the O-OT being non-anamorphic?" Then when you press them, they admit that they are not even buying it. I would then say, "Well, if any mods would do their job here, can we please have responses here on the thead about the O-OT on DVD of fans who are atleast interested in buying it?" Then I would get a warning to stop baiting!

It is so sad where SW has come in 10 years, and the fact that Lucas has alienated myself and many here as fans is really pathetic. I have never seen a movie series that just spits on its fans like SW does now. It goes to my topic earlier that I don't think Lucas realizes how many of us older OT fans contributed to that cash cow called the Prequel Trilogy, and it is going to backfire on him if this release is as crappy as we anticipate.

He does not realize that the majority of SW fans are OT fans, not PT, and unfortunately he is catering to the minority. As I have said, most fans who grew up with the OT have never or wont ever post on a SW site, to them the saga is over now, just like Back to the Future and Lord of the Rings. But that doesn't mean they don't love those movies any less than they did the first time they saw them. For them, do they really need to have a debate on Vader being Lukes father, or Lukes failure at the cave? No, we did that on the playground in the 80's!

The stuff of putting the O-OT out as bonus material, and Lucas comments in 2004 that if we want it we can still get it on VHS, cause he won't invest the money to remaster it. Then you get the TF.n faithful who cheer Lucas on for giving the middle finger to a huge part of his fanbase. I really think they love that we are getting non-anamorphic, it is almost like we are getting what we deserve in their opinion.

I answer every response of 'you guys are getting what you deserve' like this, "Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi are my three favorite movies of all-time. Most directors would kill for one of their movies to be in someones top 10 of favorites. Lucas has three of his movies in my top 3." If this is what I deserve for my three favorite movies being created by George Lucas, then you tell me who's being petty now?
