Hah, exactly!
Oh, it’s all so lame. I never imagined, back in 1995, that the special edition rumors would lead to a version of the Star Wars trilogy that would seriously try to replace the original, or lead to a "saga" that would try to drastically change our perception of the entire series. Star Wars deserves better. It was an amazing film series for me to love while growing up.
I agree with CO. If Lucas had given both versions of the original trilogy an equal amount of support (at the very least), the OT fan base and most of the strong dislike for Lucas probably wouldn't exist. As bad as the PT is, and as stupid as the "saga" perspective makes the OT, the fact that I know George wants to erase the original films and all notion of the original perception of them is what truly upsets me.
