Actually, I have to agree with TheCassidy somewhat here. Lucas definitely doesn't care anymore. He serves the almighty dollar, plain and simple, but I don't think he has the right to overlook the fanbase that put him where he is. I don't have a problem with the schmuck making money....hell, I would too in his position....but there's a right and wrong way to do it. There's no reason whatsoever why all fans can't be happy. That can simply be done by treating the OOT with dignity and respect.

As for the noble cause...I don't think we killed it at all. Lucas killed it by releasing the OOT. The argument now is over a quality presentation. I entertain the opinion that Lucas released the OOT the way he did on purpose. He put it out to shut everyone up about getting them. At the same time, the low quality would spark another argument which would only make all of us look bad. Effectively, he shut us up and made us all look like wack-jobs at the same time. We got our OOT and we're still not happy....that's what's being said. And that's what's being used to dismiss us.

I know I've accomplished nothing except making myself feel a little better. I absolutely agree with that one. I've made it clear which version I prefer, that's all. The battle is over anyway. The cause was not won, it was only a partial victory for us. We got the OOT which means Lucas conceded a little and I won't spend one penny on ANYTHING Star Wars that Lucas puts out. He's lost this fan forever. I just wanted to show it somehow...
