Desacrating Star Wars so it has better continuity with the prequels is like pouring salt all over a perfectly prepared meal so it better matches the peanuts you ate at the bar.

My only issue with you being here is... WHAT THE HELL are you doing here anyway? These guys just want to have a complete SW saga that fits together. They don't plan on major changes (such as covering them with salt so they taste like peanuts), just a snip of a line here and there to remove ideas that George forgot to include in his PT. Most editing will take place on the PT.
Why do these things concern you so much? I appreciate your interest in this community and the things that go on here, but you are coming off kind of strong. If you don't agree with a project or don't like what it is trying to accomplish, simply move along and pay no attention to that project. If you think you have constructive criticism that is worth mentioning, or some of your own ideas to suggest, then you are more than welcome to it. Right now you are coming off a lot more destructively than constructively. You shouldn't feel the need to go into every thread and say, "Why in the world to you want to do that?" If you are happy with a movie the way it is but others are not, let them do what they will do to make themselves happy with it.
"You guys realize Star Wars won the OSCAR for editing?"
Of course we know that. And I agree with what you said about editing SW. I think it is about as perfect of a film as there ever has been. That isn't the point of what these guys are trying to do. Sometimes it is much wiser to close our mouths and listen than it is to speak up, or in the case of a forum, to stop typing and read. I suggest reading the first pages of this thread. Maybe then you will see better for yourself where these guys are coming from.
