It seems to me that Lucas is trying to set some sort of record dealing with "number of different versions of a film or films" . Too bad that those films happened to be a very big part of film history.... Actually, I agree with those of you who have said they wouldn't buy the Sept. '04 release. I have been suckered into buying some pretty stupid movies in my day (TPM, AOTC), and quite frankly, I'm tired of being jerked around by some former artist whos only goal is to suck up as much money as he can with a product that he couldn't do over again correctly if he tried.

Since I have my one mac now, a G4 i-book!, I can now edit all the crap out that I don't like. I have the original THX triology before the SE and I have the SE both full-screen and Wide-screen. Stupid, stupid, stupid.... If you ask me, the best film Lucas ever did was American Graffittii and that film is out on DVD right now. The First trilogy was good, but let's admit it, Lucas was not the only person creating the material for those films like he is for the PT. And we can all see that the people who helped him on the OT really made a difference.

I can wait for the '07 super release of the two trilogies and that will be it. no more star wars, no more PT, no more OT, no more anything that relates to this thing. Time to move on. If i don't like certain things on the super version, I'll cut the movie myself on my own editting machine. If you can't trust someone else(Lucas) do do it right, do it yourself. That'll be the end of star wars. It will no longer be timeless. It will not last much longer than 10 years after '07. too many people have been let down and disapointed by Lucas and his attitude toward his own work.

And if I get curious about this upcoming release, I can got to Blockbuster spend 7 dollars and see if it's really what its hyped up to be. The time that I am being given is far too valuable to be wasted on star wars or any other fantastical story. I've got films of my own to put together and I don't have time to just sit around and do nothing. I know that some of this may be hard for some of you to swallow, heck it would have been hard for me to swallow a couple of years ago. But people change. They see things differently and turn away fro the past.
