"It's funny when people obsess over things like that - it' unbelievable. The person they adore and worship, who made the original film in the first place, says "This is the way it was meant to be..." And then they can't cope with it. The fans are strange, but in a delightfully damaged way."
I don't adore and worship him, Rick. I really don't care what was meant to be. I want a high quality version of the originals of my own. After that, Lucas can mess with the films "he made" (I'm sure that Irvin Kershner, Gary Kurtz, Lawrence Kasdan, Richard Marquand, and the millions of craftsman and technicians who worked their tails off to get the original versions made would apprecate that) all he wants to. You seem to have trouble grasping this concept Rick--we really don't care, good, bad, or indifferent about the SEs. We just want to watch copies of the originals that meet industry standards. Why is it that whenever OOT fans express a desire for the original version, we are attacking Lucas's vision? That's like saying that a critic who pans Brokemback Mountain is homophobic. Perhaps he simply didn't like the film? Perhaps we simply don't like the SEs, but have nothing against the man? Just release versions of the originals that don't suck and we will shut up. Otherwise, we will continue this fight. You can't win Rick. You can't. And sooner or later, you will give in. Its really not unbeiveable. Ah, well. At least they're advertising the OOT. Please God, let it sell well.
After Lucas passes away, I worry that Rick might still attempt to surpress the OOT. Of course, I also believe that the OOT will come out before Lucas dies anyway, and so the point will be moot. Really, George, Rick, I wish you guys long, happy, healthy lives. I really do. But release the versions of the movies that I want.

Am I the only one who finds Rick McCallum significantly more annoying than Geoge Lucas?

That was a little immature.
