Well excuse me if I don't jump on the OT bandwagon. I could care less about Top 100 lists, or anything like that. What I care about is that George has achieved his ultimate goal and I praise him for it. It is true that he wouldn't be able to make prequals or even the SE without us, but without him we wouldn't have Star Wars in the first place, did you think about that? He could have kept it all to himself and not shared it with the rest of the world if he wanted too. I think he has full right to make decisions about HIS creations. After all when you paid for those movie tickets it became HIS money didn't it? The SE's are the better versions because they are what he envisioned. He gave his reasons why he wasn't able to release them that way back then because it wasn't possible. If you had bothered to watch the documentary's on the OT release in 1995, the first time it was Remastered for VHS and the SE VHS releases, both Gold and Silver Widescreen editions, you would have realized that. Wether your complaining about the added effects, or the narrative changes, they really don't effect the overall story that much. It's the exact same story, in fact. And if you really want the OT that badly, go buy it on VHS, they still sell the 1995 release versions. I've been watching these movies since I was a kid in the 80's and I've always loved them, the SE's made them that much more special for me because I actually got to see them in theatres. You people whining and carrying on like this just ruins it for every other SW fan, and you give us all a bad name.

And yes, I do have a right to talk to you like that, this isn't about who's more mature then who, its about giving George the respect he deserves. So shut your traps, you only have 50,000 out of 235,000,000 Americans, and 7 Billion world citizens, who are all potential Star wars Fans, it will get you...nowhere....period.
