How can you say erasing a car is less intrusive than addding CGI dancers into Jabba's palace and replacing the whole scene? It all helps the films flow better. I love Lucas. I love Jar Jar. I think Anakin is the coolest chracter ever.
Don't forget "I'm 35 guys!" De-lurking because I, too, am tired of Go-Mer's PT gushing on a board whose focus is to celebrate the original three films. No, Go-Mer I'm not feeding into your "hate" theory, I just find your constant gushing somewhat annoying.
To post slightly on topic, a friend asked me why I dislike the Special Editions of the Star Wars films. I answered her with: "Suppose you go to an art gallery. You see a painting that you absolutely love. You buy it. You hang it on your wall. You speak of its brilliance to all who will listen. Twenty years later there is a knock at your door. The artist is standing there. He barges past you, goes to your basement where the painting is hung. While you stand there speechless, he drops trou and wipes his butt on the painting. He crumples the canvas up and re-hangs it. As he leaves, he says to you 'That's how I wanted the painting to look originally'. You say 'But that's not the picture I bought and loved! Now it's like unto toilet paper!' The artist shrugs and heads out."
