Asteroid-Man said:I'm just giving a possible answer to the question fool. Don't hate on me. Most of the people here hate any changes to the OOT. And I didn't say everyone. Did I? I said "most of". As in majority. Who care's if I cite Chris Rock. I mean, I believe in what he said, I agree with being open to both sides but not all of his ideals or anyone elses ideals. We all have our own beliefs. Why give them a limit? I personally like to explore all aspects of a situations. Like I mentioned on these boards earlier, the first Star Wars film I saw all the way through was TPM, which is what really triggered my love of the saga. Do I like the PT? Yes. Do I like the OT? Yes. I'm not exclussive to just one side of an argument. By the way, you said " we're against is new adaptations..." "we" implies everyone here. "Most of" means the majority. You seriously stuck your own foot in your mouth there big guy.
Actually, what "we're against" means is the people that I may be speaking for, which is not everyone. For example, not everyone here is ok with Greedo shooting first. However, I was ok with it. I was also ok with Han meeting with Jabba even though most of the people here are not. For me, the line was crossed when Lucas put Hayden at the end of Jedi. Ever since then, I've actually hated just about every change since the 97 SE. I've even come to hate Greedo shooting first. He must have been a really bad shot to miss from 3ft away!
I would never claim to speak for everyone, so don't put words in my mouth. The point is, as I believe C3PX posted later, this site was started to get the Original Trilogy put on DVD. George gave us the GOUT, which is just a piece of shit.
Tiptup said:I think Asteroid Man is correct when he says that people who like to hold onto the good things that came before will tend to be "conservative" because I think that's the definition of conservatism. Conservatives, in the most basic sense of the word, fight for everything good that they have now and had in the past. Believing in low taxes and small government is an ethical standpoint, however, and has nothign to do with the term "conservative" all by itself.
Change for the sake of change is stupid. That's why I think "Progressives" are just lame. Unless there's a good reason to change something, why do it? When people say "Everyone hates change" I always say "That's not true. People hate change for the sake of change because that's a lame reason to change things".
Most of the changes to the OT have been change for the sake of change, not change because they were broken. Greedo, Jabba meeting Han, Hayden at the end of Jedi, etc, etc.
