yeah, well, the last time i pointed out a grammatical mistake, a war erupted. so i figured i'd leave this one alone. (i admit, i'm pretty anal about using proper grammar)

Like capitalization and punctuation?

Anyways, I totally agree with CO. Lucas' changes to the original trilogy constitute a rewrite more than anything else the more they go on. I really have trouble giving a shit if Go-Mer and any others think the changes may be superior. The simple fact of the matter is that they aren't the same films anymore! From a historical standpoint alone, it is a travesty for George Lucas to purposely and systematically supress and erase the original films. Then, from an artistic standpoint, it is fairly easy to argue that the changes are artistically inferior to what they replace (first and foremost, they don't have the same devotion, care, and precise subtlety put into them).
