Bingo, and I couldn't have said it better myself. Most fans who loved SW growing up, still love it and still watch it, but have moved on in life. I know so many friends who love the OT who saw TPM, and then checked out of SW-ville for good, they never even got to AOTC. That is the reason TPM was the highest grossing prequel, because every SW fan growing up who saw the OT saw this one, and many never came back.

Every friend I know doesn't go to any SW forum, and that is why we will never get a true gauge of what the people say on the internet, to me it is who is the loudest. I respect everyone that comes here and does their part, we got Lucas to put out O-OT in some DVD quality, so the petition worked in that way. But most older fans just don't give shit at this point cause they are probably married and have kids compared to every PT gusher who doesn't have a job yet, and has time to frequent the internet any time during the day and just dream about more OT changes.

I think it is the ultimate catch 22 for every fan who wants this, and I respect anyone who buys them and respect anyone who makes a principled stand not to buy them. The problem is Sir George has a monoploy on all of us, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants. There is no studio we can write letters to, only Lucasfilm. We are at his mercy, and sadly there is nothing we can do about it.
