I don't really hate Lucas. After all, he did bring us the OT. So I still give him credit for that. Heck, even though I didn't like most of the changes in the SE, I'll still give Lucas credit for bringing the OT back to theatres, to give us who were a bit too young to watch the original releases to see it on the big screen. I can even forgive Episode I. But what goes too far for me is Lucas's own bashing of his original work, and the refusal to release a quality O-OT on DVD.
However, as has been said before, Lucas has turned to the dark side. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny....
