I don't think helmet's saying it's dead for everyone, just dead for him/ (her?) you know, lost hope and all that. i have to agree. Lucas will never have one speck of respect for the original films. Is it because of some legal thing with his wife? I don't know, maybe it is. Whatever the reason, we probably won't be seeing the original unaltered films on dvd blu ray whatever else unless some employee in charge of the masters gets pissed at lucas and decides to release his own dvd for all that's good and green in the world.

Well, I'd sy it's been dead for me since Darth Vader said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, as James earl Jones himself, the iconic badass PERFECT voice of darth vader, became Prequelized with some typical prequel dialogue. It was a horrific day that day, I tell you.
