You guys are all a bunch of whiners. George Lucas changed the Star Wars movies so he could present them as he wanted to, and then you guys want the original versions.

No. You can't stop bitching about the fact you didn't get them in some certain format.
How could you people be so selfish? You've been whining for the original versions, you're getting the original versions, and now you want more. You actually, for once, WANT them to edit the original versions to your liking instead of getting the exact same experience you got in theaters almost 30 years ago. You're getting what you asked for, yet you want more. You people make me sick.
I can imagine the person who started this site. He's probably some 40-year old virgin who has the stature of a baby and lives with his mom, crying in his stroller "I WANT DA ORIGINAL STAR WARS MOVIES!!! WAH!!!" while his embarrased mom tries to shut him up when she's about to see Revenge of the Sith.
You know, Greedo's always been one of my favorite Star Wars characters, but ever since the special editions everyone's been whining about him shooting first and missing, and now he's changed into a one-dimensional character who misses all the time just because you people can't accept the fact your precious Star Wars movies were changed.
Quit bitching, you selfish bastards. Just shut up. You've gotten enough from your whining, enough to close down this stupid site once and for all.
Oh, and are you going to delete my post? Hmmm? Is that how you're going to counter me? Because I thought we believed in free speech, and seeing how this post hasn't broken any of the rules (maybe cursing, but that could easily be edited), I don't see any reason in it being deleted. Oh wait, no, you guys probably don't believe in free speech, and that's probably why you keep bitching at George Lucas for original versions when he's free to release whatever he wants. Fucking communists.
You idiot.
We are NOT getting the versions that were in theaters in the seventies and eighties. We are not getting the original mono track, the opening crawl is different now, among other little things. We are getting the shoddiest release possible. He might as well just release them on VHS again. He is trying to demean us by making the unaltered trilogy look like crap. You call us selfish bastards for wanting more, well, Lucas is the selfish battle. He's not giving us what we wanted at all.
And don't insult Jay and the other moderators by calling them 40 year old virgins. I have no doubt in my head you're fifty years old and the most action you've ever had was sneaking glances at your dad's playboys when he wasn't looking.
And we're not going to delete your post for expressing your opinion. But when you get to calling us communists, then it might turn into a deletion.
Hey, I've got a theory. This guy must be George Lucas expressing his views on us. This is Lucas' views on us exactly, so I think I've got a good chance of being right. After all, only a few people are this closed-minded.
And George, you're free to release whatever version you want, but take a leaf out of your friend Spielberg's book and give every version thet same dignity you gave the new versions. Just look at E.T. Spielberg messed with it (although his changes weren't nearly as bad as yours) but gave viewers the choice of which version to watch, and gave them both good video quality and anamorphic widescreen.
