I was astonished after watching this documentary on how far Lucas will go to make the story he wants out there now. Every person who commented in special took the saga to mythological terms, and it was all about Anakins story and Lukes story which eventually leads to Anakins redemption. They even went as far to compare Jar Jar to mythological Greek figures who always played the 'fool.'
That night I realized that this is SW now, and we can either do 2 things, jump on the train, or walk away OOT fans, cause Lucas is not going to budge anymore to appease any older fans who like that Han shot first. Just think about this weekend, they had a 6 movie marathon to commerorate the 30th Anniversary of SW, and when they showed the Original SW, they didn't even show the 30 year old version!!!!!!
The OT never needed to be sold to the consumer AFTER the movies came out the way Lucas is doing now with the PT/Saga story. I was never bombarded with all these mythological tieins to make the movies more important then they really are. The OT had depth, probably more then most movies in its genre, but they were just damn fun movies to watch with a cool story, great characters, awesome special effects, and great drama to keep you interested. Lucas forgot that SW used to be fun, and now it is all serious in the way he wants the story to be seen, yet when you have characters like Jar Jar Binks, you wonder if Lucas regrets catering to kids and should have just have gone after an older demographic.
The Saga boxset will come out someday on DVD or BlueRay, but I have kinda given up on the whole 'will the OOT be remastered' fantasy, cause I think our dream died with the GOUT, and even that was the last way Lucas can stilll get our money and thumb his nose at us at the same time. As I have said in a couple of my other posts, I have put my hands up and accepted that this is SW for the future, and I have just walked away, and hopefully the XO project happens, and can satisfy enough fans that we can enjoy these damn movies once again.
