I dunno, just in the way that you wrote it it seems more like a "haha you got pwnd!!!!1" than a true expression of interest in our explainations as to why we believe what we do. As for you not being able to wait, all four of us who voted yes gave the exact same reason why in here as we did in the other. So really rather than going through the waiting that you couldn't, you could have just reread our posts in the other thread. This very reason is why I infered that you were wanting us to explain why we are so vastly out numbered on the poll, rather than explain why we said yes, which you already knew.

If I was mistaken then I am sorry.

I could care less if you've gotten pwnd! I am interested in the reasoning as to why erasing one of the greatest flicks of all time would be worth it if it meant no more CGI Jabba the Hutt

Well, we have already given you our reasoning behind it in the other thread. Just doesn't make sense for you to ask for it again. If you haven't understood it by now, you wont ever. And if you have read our reasoning then you should know by now that it has very little to do with "no more CGI Jabba the Hutt", in fact, I addressed that one directly in one of my posts.

Just to clarify to everyone else, this topic did not come about through a deep seated hate of the SE and PT. I am fine with their existence, I can ignore them and not watch them. I grew up with the trilogy, and I loved all of them, including ROTJ as a kid. Both Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are often placed as examples of great sci-fi films. Now it is harder for them to be taken seriously because they no longer stand on their own without all the extra baggage. As Zombie has said, the name Star Wars has gone from greatness to just another cheap sci fi franchise like Star Trek. It is not that I would trade ESB for everything else to just go away because my hate of those others out weights my love of ESB. It is not even about trading anything for anything. It was just a silly hypothetical idea of "what if", and would it have been better. Let's try posing it this way,

Multiple Choice. Please select the most appropriate answer from the selection below

1.

A). Star Wars is a cheap science fiction franchise indistinguishable by many from Star Trek. While these films are fun to watch, they are nothing more than mindless entertainment.

B). Star Wars is a classic sci-fi film from 1977, and an example of excellent fantasy film making, in the same ranks as The Wizard of Oz.

2.

A). George Lucas, a phenomenal director with a vast collection of groundbreaking films, fitting in the ranks with Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick.

B). George Lucas is a director who once displayed potential for greatness in his earlier films before he got involved in the Star Wars franchise and proceeded to do nothing else. His films are known for childish poop jokes, incoherent plot lines, bad dialog, bad actors, and bad writing and an extreme lack of imagination in his later work. He is also known as an amazing business man. Due to the success of his earlier work, he was able to independently finance his later work, giving him complete creative control, which is the only reason his later one writer scripts managed to avoid the waste basket.

These were the lines I was thinking along. If I could choose which one of each of these was true, I couldn't help myself but to choose 1. A, and 2. B.

It is fun speculation, but none of this really matters.
