Nice to see you too.
How can you say that replacing his shots with CG does not take away from his work? Of course it does. If tommorrow, someone went into Lord of the Rings and rewrote a few passages, does that take away from Tolkein's work? Gaffer Tape is right about it only being in a few scenarios, but even one would be an insult to most people, I think. But like I said earlier, we don't know how he feels. But it is safe to bank that he didn't like his work being replaced by CGI. I'd have to agree with Number20 on this. This is probably him trying to sell his book, and not wanting to affend Lucas.

Maybe if Lorne Peterson was actually upset about the SE's I could see the outrage. But his work is still there in the SE's.
He wasn't slighted in any way, and the presence of CG does not take away from his work on the film.
Glad you are back Darth_Evil.

The main reason he is going is to promote it book, and to speak about the models he did to the fans. Yes.
I don't think his reasons for going revolve around the screening of Episode IV. That simply doesn't make sense. Peterson has to at least be a proud man, and he deserves to be, regardless of whether they are showing his models off in the movie or not. The book will say enough about all the hard work he did, no doubt.
