sent me a PM, "Nobody cares about the OOT anymore, the saga is 6 movies, as you will never post here again."

Question, do we have any idea how numerous OOT fans are? I don't mean actual figures. I mean is there a lot of us? How numerous are we compared to TFN-type fans? How numerous are we compared to older fans who've accepted the SE and don't care about the OOT?

I look at it this way, what do the majority of SW fans prefer? I still say the OOT. I have many friends who bought the '04 SE DVD because it was the OT in any form, and they all say to me, "I just put up with the changes, what can you do?" You'll never going to know on the internet, because it is only a small fraction of the SW fanbase, so what we see posted everyday on SW websites really can't be judged as anything specific.

The bottom line is if you ask the majority of SW fans these questions:

1. Do you want Han shooting first reinstated?

2. Do you want the Jabba scene in Star Wars taken out?

3. Do you want Jedi Rock taken out in ROTJ for the old song?

4. Do you want the original ending with old man Anakin rather then Hayden?

5. Do you want Vaders line in ESB, "Bring my shuttle!" back

The majority of SW fans would say yes to all these questions, so they are the major changes to the OOT that everyone hates. Now if Lucas did some special effect changes, and didn't take any actors out I believe the OOT vs SE wouldn't exist.

We'll never know, but if Lucas put out on BluRay the OOT in one boxset and the SE in another boxset in the same quality, I still say the OOT would sell more, because the PT/SE fanbase is still a niche fanbase compared to the OOT fans who really never got into the PT movies and dont' have much of a voice anymore, as they probably moved on sometime after ROTJ.
