I remember growing up with the original films and loving them dearly despite other people who declared them nothing but vaccuous toy commercials with no redeeming artistic quality.
Now we have people who like the classic trilogy saying the same thing about the prequels?
Just as not everyone understood what we loved about the original films, not everyone is going to understand why I love the new ones just as much.
It just amazes me hearing this total lack of consideration coming from people who saw the good in the originals.
It's because we cannot get a decent release of the originals. If I had those, then I could watch them and be perfectly happy. Then people who preferred teh SEs and the prequels could be happy. Everything would be hunky dory. Lucas won't let that happen. That's all.
About as interesting as fans of Star Wars who giddily embrace their hate for George Lucas as if it's the right thing to do.

It's not so much dislike of Lucas as of what he has done. He is the reason why we do not have decent OOT discs.
