Oh noes! I'm a troll now. Pathetic.
When the Special Editions arrived and the hardcore fanbase compained I was among those who complained the loudest. It wasn't just the "Han shoots first" stuff. I was outraged because Lucas was trying to permanently erase something that was part of my life for almost 17 years. From the point of view of someone who respects film history it was a crime.
At least when Spielberg rehased E.T. he gave us both versions on DVD. Much like Stalin, Lucas seems content to any bit of history he doesn't agree with.
Lucas also seems obsessed with adding things to the older films that weren't needed in the first place.
However the drama over this goofy and many times stupid kids movie astounds and amuses me. Just look at some of the lulz worthy posts in this thread. The hysteria is hilarious.
Some people just need a reason to bitch. Some people just want to blame George for their disappointment with their own pathetic lives. I'm not defending clone wars as much as I'm laughing at the people who are so offended by a silly kids film. (And like we said before, its not even a movie, its 3 episodes of a TV show strung together.)
You can go back to whining now.
