I'd like to think star wars fans aint gonna all be cheap asses like people who refuse to buy music cd's and will only download bootlegs.

I do own the SE too, cause I don't hate all the changes with a passion, just the ROTJ changes, I can't watch that version. I just want the option, thats all of us fans can choose which version in great quality to watch.

And that is why I think this whole vision thing by Lucas is a bunch of bullshit, and the PT fans have bought into it. All it is for Lucas to hope that all the public thinks of the saga as 1-6, so he can sell 6 DVD's in a boxset instead of two different trilogies to different markets. The whole changes thing in 2004 were just another attempt at getting fans to now look at the saga as 1-6, instead of putting out movies that link up, and everyone would see it 1-6 regardless.

I still think Lucas should have made the PT its whole seperate entity. And make the story more macro like the OT. Have the main theme the falling of the republic with the Empire rising, and that would link up with the OT story of rebels vs empire. The story would still revolve around Anakin/Kenobi/and Padme, but it wouldn't be just about Anakins story, it would give each character ample time like the OT.

The OT story was never about Lukes life, cause it only showed about 3 years of it. It was about how a bunch of underdogs can beat back a tyrannical empire, and that was the moral. Now we have 3 movies about the micro story of Darth Vader, and three movies about the macro story of rebels vs empire. How the hell are we suppose to link that up and watch it seamlessly 1-6?

With Lucas doing a macro PT story like I stated, the whole Jake Lloyd aged Anakin could have been dropped, and the events of the PT could have taken place with 3-5 years like the OT, and TPM could have gotten off to a great start, instead of being a setup to another setup movie.

Lucas is trying to sell this 1-6 shit as the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, and part of the fanbase aint buying it, and many older fans I know who didn't even see the prequels could care less about Young Anakins' problems. Even my 8 year old nephew only likes ROTS from the PT, so he has even figured out where the story begins! Lucas is pushing 1-6 instead of letting the market decide, and just giving the fans everything in good quality. Thats the problem.
