He could have remastered the originals and put them out there as a separate entity, but then went back and did it all his way from the beginning. He could have taken a que from Phil Jackson and did one trilogy back to back, waited a few years and did the other...this time in order and changed so they flowed better. I would have accepted that. We'd have classic SW and neo SW then....you could take either one you liked.

I almost wish he had done this. Its primarily because of his tinkering with the original movies that I am so upset. If they were allowed to exist as their own, separate, linear story then at least everybody could decide what they want. The PT fans who dislike the original trilogy would now have a 4-6 that caters to them (and more moviegoing experiences). The original fans would have movies divorced from episode numbers that sit on their own. Then, the majority of people would be able to vote for whatever's best with their hard-earned.
There's no way that would ever happen though. George is way too lazy to take on a project like that. You can tell that he barely even cared about the prequels.
