Agreed. I'm all for doing things for charity but I wouldn't wish the SEs upon anybody. I hate those movies. If other people like 'em, more power to them, but I'm certainly not going to encourage any human alive to watch them. Sending them back to Lucas or throwing them in the trash is where they belong. They are an insult to the original films.
Also, as nice as it would be for this to be publisized and for more people to be informed about it, I don't care, nor do I have delusions as to the importance of it. I know my fandom is a niche, I see it nearly every day. A lot of it has to do with Lucas destroying Star Wars' legacy, passage of time, and the cheapening of the films' memory in the pop culture. In the large scheme of things Star Wars doesn't matter. It matters to fans here and elsewhere, for entertainment and some emotional fulfillment. Star Wars USED to be special, and there are a few of us who felt what it was and have somehow been able to hold onto it. There are always new people being exposed to it, and some of them may "get it". For them, I think they are the lucky ones. Other than that I think Star Wars is over, Sorry to say. Okay, I'm a pessimist. But I stil love these movies with a passion.
