Seriously, sometimes I have to take a step back and look at just how bass-ackwards it is to be a Star Wars fan. It's not like being a fan of any other movie. Whatever happened to the days when people just...made movies? Not going back and constantly adding pointless shit to them. These are MOVIES; just give us our movies as they first came out. Is that really so much to ask?


Well, this kind of thing has been happening with movies for years, and I would imagine that other forms of storytelling have had changes. The Hobbit had been revised several times after publication. King Kong had an entire scene removed after it's premiere. Heck, even the original Star Wars had a few changes after its initial release, notably in the sound track when you compare the mono to the stereo. The difference is, the Special Editions were changes made, like 20 years after the fact. Which seems to be an awful long time to just let it lie and then try to fix it again.
